Identifying materials with optimal optoelectronic properties for targeted applications represents both a critical need and a persistent challenge in optoelectronic device engineering. Machine learning models often depend on extensive datasets, which are typically lacking in specialized research d ...

In sleep, the brain balances protecting processes like memory consolidation with preserving responsiveness to significant external stimuli. Although reductions in higher-level auditory processes during deeper sleep have been described, the sleep-dependent changes across levels of auditory hierarchy, particularly as regards early sound representations, rem ...

Background: Lifestyle factors like exercise and cognitive stimulation might help improve cognitive performance in older adults. However, studies investigating this, reported mixed results. Most of the data supporting the benefit of exercise comes from cross-sectional studies, cohort studies, or s ...

Introduction: The Medical Emotion Scale has been translated into Japanese (J-MES) and validated for cross-cultural emotion research in medical education. However, its applicability for extracting Japanese cultural aspects of medical students' emotions has not been examined. This study aimed to explore the underlying latent constructs related to cultur ...

Sleep spindles are neural events unique to nonrapid eye movement sleep that play key roles in memory reactivation and consolidation. However, much of the evidence for their function remains correlational rather than causal. Closed-loop brain stimulation uses real-time monitoring of neural events (often via electroencephalography; EEG) to deliver precise a ...

Can metaphorical reasoning involving embodied experience-such as color perception-be learned from the statistics of language alone? Recent work finds that colorblind individuals robustly understand and reason abstractly about color, implying that color associations in everyday language might cont ...

GH7 cellobiohydrolases (CBH1s) are essential for depolymerizing crystalline cellulose, yet the hypercellulolytic thermophile Rasamsonia emersonii secretes them only in low amounts, leaving a gap in its native enzyme cocktail. To see whether a cognate CBH1 could fill this gap and how it stacks up against the industrial workhorse strain Trichoderma reesei C ...

Photoelectrochemical production of ammonia usually suffers from a low solar-to-ammonia efficiency and a high overpotential, which influences the bias-free operation of sustainable photoelectrochemistry. Herein, we realize solar-driven ammonia production from waste nitrate by constructing copper-osmium catalysts deposited on the Sb2(S,Se)3 semiconductor, e ...

The increasing prevalence of antibiotic resistance is a critical challenge, necessitating the development of strategies to mitigate the evolution of resistance. Collateral sensitivity (CS)-based sequential therapies have been proposed to mitigate resistance evolution. However, the evolutionary repeatability of CS across different experimental conditions a ...

Crude oil remains a dominant global energy source but spills from pipelines, and reservoirs pose significant environmental and health risks. Remediating petroleum hydrocarbon (PHC)-contaminated soils is critical yet challenging, especially in fine-grained matrices where conventional methods underperform. In this context, electro-washing (EW), either in-si ...

Well-defined acid-degradable amphiphilic block copolymers (ABPs) and their nanoassemblies labeled with acid-labile groups have been developed for smart drug delivery, exhibiting controlled/enhanced release of therapeutics in tumoral tissues and endo/lysosomes. In general, controlled polymerization techniques, particularly atom transfer radical polymerizat ...

Due to the oligotrophic marine environment, the lack of phosphorus is one of the key factors limiting the oil biodegradation ability of microorganisms after the oil spill occurs. Overcoming phosphorus deficiency has become an urgent problem. In this study, a phosphate-solubilizing bacteria, named Bacillus subtilis PSB-1, with the crude oil degradation eff ...
