Merger-driven Growth of Intermediate-mass Black Holes: Constraints from Hubble Space Telescope Imaging of Hyper-luminous X-Ray Sources

The Astrophysical Journal
Hyper-luminous X-ray sources (HLXs) are extragalactic off-nuclear X-ray sources with luminosities exceeding the theoretical limit for accretion onto stellar-mass compact objects.

COFs on MOFs: Layer‐by‐Layer Synthesis of MOF@COF Nanoparticles with Synergistic Adsorption

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A layer‐by‐layer strategy enables the growth of crystalline covalent organic framework (COF) shells on metal–organic framework nanoparticles, creating core–shell structures with tunable porosity. Ordered interstitial mesopores are formed during shell growth, which are connected with the COF's intrinsic micropores, thereby enhancing water sorption. This

Thermomechanics of Picoliter Liquids Encapsulated in Metal Microarchitectures

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Picoliter‐scale water is encapsulated inside hollow copper microcylinders through a single‐step localized electrodeposition process. Mechanical testing at room and cryogenic temperatures reveals that incompressible liquid and load‐bearing microscale ice enhance the strength and deformation behavior of the composite structure.

Overmassive Black Holes at Cosmic Noon: Linking the Local and the High-redshift Universe

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
We report for the first time a sample of 12 supermassive black holes (SMBHs) hosted by low-mass galaxies at cosmic noon, i.e., in a redshift range consistent with the peak of star formation history: z ∼ 1–3.

Ion‐Reconfigurable “N”‐Shaped Antiambipolar Behavior in Organic Electrochemical Transistors

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A unique N‐shaped negative differential transconductance (NDT) characteristics is demonstrated in single‐polymer organic electrochemical transistors through a sequential doping–redox–doping process driven by iodide ions. This redox‐driven mechanism enables low‐voltage, ion‐controlled reconfigurability and tunable current modulation, allowing seamless ...

De Rerum Natura: How Do Halide Perovskites Self‐Heal From Damage?

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
How can lead‐halide‐perovskites self‐heal after damage from light, heat, mechanical strain, or radiation? We show that reversible chemical defects underly performance losses and recovery, highlighting the roles of halide and proton migration, redox‐driven reactions, and acid‐base equilibria.

An Energy Focusing Flexible and Lightweight Acoustic Metamaterial for Enhanced Ultrasound Power Transfer

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A flexible and lightweight acoustic metamaterial composed of air cavities encased in polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is introduced to enhance ultrasound power transfer. The metamaterial leverages the strong reflectivity of air cavity boundaries to concentrate incoming ultrasound, thereby improving the performance of piezoelectric energy harvesters ...

Intermediate-mass Black Hole Progenitors from Stellar Collisions in Dense Star Clusters

The Astrophysical Journal
Very massive stars (VMSs) formed via a sequence of stellar collisions in dense star clusters have been proposed as the progenitors of massive black hole seeds.
