Characterization and Inverse Design of Stochastic Mechanical Metamaterials Using Neural Operators

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This study presents a DeepONet‐based machine learning framework for designing stochastic mechanical metamaterials with tailored nonlinear mechanical properties. By leveraging sparse but high‐quality experimental data from in situ micro‐mechanical tests, high predictive accuracy and enable efficient inverse design are achieved.

Snap and Jump: How Elastic Shells Pop Out

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Indent an elastomeric shell and let it go. The spherical shells can store and release the elastic energy. Desktop‐scale experiments, material point method simulation, and analytical theory uncover the fundamental mechanism of soft jumping robots.

Shrub tundra ecohydrology: rainfall interception is a major component of the water balance

Environmental Research Letters, 2019
As shrubs expand across the Arctic, they alter all cycles in the Earth system, including the water cycle. However, the coupling of shrubs with the water cycle during summer remains poorly understood.

Examining differences in phylogenetic composition enhances understanding of the phylogenetic structure of the shrub community in the northeastern Qinghai‐Tibetan Plateau

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Periodic climatic oscillations and species dispersal during the postglacial period are two important causes of plant assemblage and distribution on the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau (QTP).

DDX3 Regulates the Cap‐Independent Translation of the Japanese Encephalitis Virus via Its Interactions with PABP1 and the Untranslated Regions of the Viral Genome

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) employs a cap‐independent (CI) translation strategy to evade host translational shutoff. During the shut‐off of host cellular canonical translation, DEAD‐box protein 3 (DDX3) bind to JEV UTRs to establish a closed‐loop architecture, and its interaction with poly(A)‐binding protein 1 (PABP1) to form DDX3/PABP1/eIF4G ...

Zwitterionic Heavier Pnictinidenes in Redox Catalysis

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Zwitterionic pnictinidenes: A new class of zwitterionic heavier pnictogen species stabilized by bis(N‐heterocyclic carbene)borate ligands is reported, enabling the isolation of Sb and Bi in multiple oxidation states. These thoroughly characterized systems exhibit cationic character and engage in redox catalysis, facilitating catalytic ...

Drivers of soil temperature variation in alpine lichen heaths and shrub vegetation during the summer

Arctic, Antarctic, and Alpine Research, 2023
Lichen heaths are decreasing in abundance in alpine and Arctic areas because of an increased competition with shrubs. This shift in vegetation might have important consequences for the soil temperature. The aim of this study is to find the drivers of the
