Ultrathin Aluminum–Air Batteries via Hygroscopic Electrolytes for Continuous Operation of Imperceptible On‐Skin Electronics

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
This study presents ultrathin, high‐capacity aluminum‐air batteries (AABs) for self‐sustaining, skin‐conformal electronics. By utilizing ambient moisture and oxygen alongside a LiCl‐based hygroscopic hydrogel electrolyte, the design significantly reduces battery thickness while preventing dehydration and Al self‐corrosion.

Irreversible Electroporation for Inferior Turbinate Reduction Ablation in Adults

International Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Inferior turbinate hypertrophy is a common cause of nasal airway obstruction. An optimal surgical approach should provide effective volume reduction while preserving mucosal integrity and minimizing postoperative morbidity. Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of irreversible electroporation (IRE) for non‐thermal ablation ...

The 9+ month marathon: How pregnancy may have shaped human endurance capacities

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Anthropology has long considered the evolution of our uniquely human endurance capacities to be the result of selection upon anatomical and physiological features imposed by the demands of thermoregulation and resource acquisition, particularly during the demands of persistence hunting. Research has focused on the anatomical changes present in
