Hydrothermal Embedding of Pd Single Atoms Into SnO2 for Efficient CO Oxidation
Advanced Science, EarlyView.By applying hydrothermal regulation to SnO2‐supported PdO, we achieve atomic dispersion of Pd into the SnO2 lattice, which activates the lattice oxygen neighboring Pd atoms to generate oxygen vacancies and facilitates subsequent O2 activation, thereby promoting CO oxidation to proceed via a low‐energy‐barrier MvK pathway while avoiding CO poisoning ...

Plot-based urbanism and urban morphometrics : measuring the evolution of blocks, street fronts and plots in cities [PDF]
, 2011 Generative urban design has been always conceived as a creation-centered process, i.e. a process mainly concerned with the creation phase of a spatial transformation. We argue that, though the way we create a space is important, how that space evolves in

Metasurface‐Enabled Active‐Like Passive Radar
Advanced Science, EarlyView.A programmable space‐time‐coding metasurface embeds distinct spatiotemporal tags into ambient wireless signals, allowing passive radar to operate in an active‐like manner. By enabling code‐correlated reconstruction under interference, the approach supports robust real‐time UAV tracking in complex environments and points to intelligent, low‐power ...
