Wood surface superhydrophobic modification effectively mitigates liquid–water–induced shrinkage/swelling, enhancing dimensional stability. However, most researches focus on wood transverse sections due to inherent roughness, whereas few have achieved superhydrophobicity on environmentally exposed tangential surfaces. Furthermore, practical application of superhydrophobic wood remains challenging due to its poor interfacial stability. Herein, a scalable alkali etching strategy that partially removes hemicellulose/lignin to enhance roughness and active sites on wood tangential surfaces is proposed. Subsequent spraying of hydroxyapatite-polydimethylsiloxane (HAP-PDMS) composite solution forms a robust superhydrophobic coating. Etching-induced microcracks and voids facilitate nanoparticle anchoring, synergistically functioning with the cellular framework as a protective barrier to ensure exceptional durability. The modified surface can withstand mechanical abrasion, chemical corrosion, and UV exposure, retaining superhydrophobicity after 60-day outdoor aging. Notably, it exhibits autonomous self-healing: post seven abrasion-repair cycles, the water contact angle recovers to 142° (92.4% restoration efficiency). This work provides an economical route to engineer stable superhydrophobic tangential wood surfaces, extending product service life. Graphical abstract

Blubber is a hydrostatic pressure-resistant and insulating vascularized layer of subcutaneous adipose tissue beneath the skin found in cetaceans, pinnipeds, and sirenians. Little is known about the molecular genetics of blubber formation, and it is unclear when the blubber observed today began to develop during the evolution of the marine mammal groups. Here we screen for genes lost in cetaceans and find that ADRB3 (β 3 -adrenergic receptor), a gene essential for adipose tissue lipolysis and thermogenesis, acquired inactivating mutations in crown cetaceans 20 million years after its downstream effector uncoupling protein 1 ( UCP1 ) gained partial loss-of-function mutations in semi-aquatic stem cetaceans. Both in vivo and in vitro experiments indicate that cetacean ADRB3 is not functional, suggesting that crown cetaceans abolished cold-induced non-shivering thermogenesis to favor lipid storage for thermal insulation. Our study supports that cetacean blubber evolved stepwise along their transition to an aquatic environment and implies that ADRB3 loss was critical for the radiation and dispersal of toothed and baleen whales.

To tackle elevated blood glucose, multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacterial infections, and persistent inflammation in diabetic wounds, we present a therapeutic strategy that employs a photoswitch-controlled catalytic cascade reaction, utilizing a photocatalytic material engineered through the synergistic regulation of nitrogen vacancies and single-atom embedding. Under visible light illumination, the N vacancy exist in g-C 3 N 4 (CN) significantly enhances photocatalytic glucose oxidation to regulate the hyperglycemia condition at diabetic wound sites, and the atomically dispersed Cu promotes the generation of •OH and •O 2 – to efficiently eliminate MDR bacteria ( > 99.9%). Under dark conditions, excess ROS are scavenged by Cu/CN, reducing inflammation of wounds and promoting polarization of M2 macrophages. Serum biochemical and vital organs histopathological analyses after 14 days of treatment confirm the biosafety profile of Cu/CN. This photoswitchable cascade reaction effectively treats MDR bacterial-infected diabetic wounds in male mice, highlighting its potential for antibiotic-free therapy with promising clinical translation applications.

Chemotherapy and photothermal therapy have demonstrated significant promise in the treatment of gastric cancer. A stable, effective, and safe photothermal agent is needed in this synergic system. Here, carbon quantum dots (CDs), an efficient photothermal agent, were first developed. By encapsulating CDs and the gastric cancer drug camptothecin (CT) in liposomes (Lip), a folic acid (FA)-targeted multifunctional photothermal nanosystem was rationally developed. To augment the photothermal performance and accelerate liposome cleavage for drug release, a NIR photothermal agent, indocyanine green (IG), was incorporated into the bilayer membranes. This built photothermal multifunctional nanosystem was triggered by an NIR laser and demonstrated payload-controlled release, in addition to exceptional performance with a photothermal conversion efficacy of up to 46.97%. The multifunctional photothermal nanosystem demonstrated superior cytocompatibility, stimuli-responsive drug release, improved tumor-specific targeting, and efficient cell death of NCI-N87 gastric cancer cells through multimodal synergic treatment. The effective development of this NIR-triggered, cell-targeted, photothermal, multifunctional nanosystem would enhance the therapeutic efficiency of gastric cancer therapy and offer a potential approach for designing and developing synergistic chemo-photothermal combination therapies.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous toxic pollutants that pose significant risks to human health. However, because of their intrinsic non-polar properties, only moderate detection sensitivity can be achieved in the mass spectrometric detection of PAHs. In this work, we presented a novel electrochemically assisted derivatization nano-electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ECAD-nESI-MS) method to permit the rapid and ultrasensitive analysis of PAHs in complicated samples. In ECAD-nESI-MS, the in situ electrochemical derivatization of PAHs with pyridine and the electrospray ionization are simultaneously activated by applying a high voltage onto the Pt electrode. Notably, the derivatization takes advantage of the inherent electrochemical aspect of electrospray ionization, that is, the electrooxidation of substrates in the positive-ion mode, thus requiring no extra electrochemical cell and potentiostat. Through the electrochemical derivatization of PAHs into the corresponding pyridinium ions, the ECAD-nESI-MS method achieved remarkably improved detection sensitivity, where the limit of detection (LOD) is 3~10 times lower than the state-of-the-art atmospheric pressure chemical ionization mass spectrometry (APCI-MS) and gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS). With advantages in low detection limit, wide linear range, fast analysis speed (< 3 min per sample), and low sample consumption, we anticipate the wide application of the ECAD-nESI-MS method in the rapid and sensitive analysis of PAHs and their analogues.

Developing highly active and stable non-precious-metal electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is essential for efficient green hydrogen production. However, monometallic catalysts exhibit poor stability and high overpotentials under high current densities. Therefore, the development of multi-metallic catalysts has become a focus of attention. Herein, we report a NiCoFeS/NF catalyst that exhibits higher OER activity in alkaline solution compare with commercial RuO 2 -based catalysts. The synthesized NiCoFeS/NF catalyst delivers a current density of 100 mA cm − 2 at a low overpotential of 280 mV and exhibits a Tafel slope of 49 mV dec − 1 , reflecting its favorable kinetics. Furthermore, the NiCoFeS/NF catalyst exhibited a long-term stability over 120 h, ensuring its potential for practical applications. Detailed characterizations revealed that sulfur incorporation not only creates additional active sites but also induces the self-unfolding of nanoparticles into nanosheets, thereby enlarging the electrochemically active surface area (ECSA).

This study aimed to isolate and evaluate a novel cellulolytic probiotic strain from the intestinal contents of yaks on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau. A strain identified as Enterococcus faecalis JM263 exhibited strong cellulolytic activity, with CMCase, FPase, and β-glucosidase activities reaching 29.5, 23.58, and 15.62 U/mL, respectively. It exhibited strong tolerance to simulated gastric (75.3%) and intestinal (68.5%) fluids, dose-dependent bile salt resistance, and broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity—most notably, a 21.27-mm inhibition zone against Salmonella. Additionally, E. faecalis JM263 scavenged DPPH and hydroxyl radicals at rates of 41.05% and 36.54%, respectively. Additionally, E. faecalis JM263 exhibited strong degradation abilities toward cellulose, lignin, and hemicellulose in both corn straw and oatgrass. In vitro rumen fermentation experiments revealed that E. faecalis JM263 significantly increased acetate and VFAs while reducing ammonia-N levels. 16S rRNA sequencing revealed that E. faecalis JM263 altered the rumen microbial composition by increasing the abundance of beneficial taxa such as Fibrobacterota, Prevotella, and Succinivibrio. Functional prediction via PICRUSt and COG annotation suggested that E. faecalis JM263 supplementation may enhance microbial metabolism, particularly pathways involved in carbohydrate metabolism, amino acid biosynthesis, and energy production. Additionally, E. faecalis JM263 was shown to promote cooperative interactions among functional microbes, contributing to a more efficient and stable rumen microbial ecosystem. Overall, E. faecalis JM263 is a promising candidate functional probiotic for improving fiber digestibility and rumen fermentation efficiency in ruminants, offering great potential for application in sustainable animal production.

High-performance sustainable elastomers with tunable fluorescent behavior designed via robust and facile strategies are highly pursued. In this work, cellulose- graft -poly(tetrahydrofurfuryl acrylate- co -2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl acetoacetate) (Cell- g -P(THFA- co -AAEM)) copolymers with different compositions were prepared through homogeneous reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. In this design, cellulose acts as the backbone, while the hemicellulose derivative tetrahydrofurfuryl acrylate (THFA) and the petroleum-based monomer 2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl acetoacetate (AAEM) play the role of soft and rigid segments in the grafted side chains. By tuning the THFA/AAEM feed ratio and cellulose content, the mechanical and adhesion properties of these Cell- g -P(THFA- co -AAEM) copolymers were well manipulated. In addition, the β -diketone groups in THFA repeating units can be further used as the ligands to form dynamic networks in the copolymer matrix with terbium (Tb 3+ ) and europium (Eu 3+ ) ions via lanthanide coordination. The resulting coordinated Cell- g -P(THFA- co -AAEM) copolymers exhibit significantly improved tensile strength and tunable fluorescent colors by adjusting the Tb 3+ /Eu 3+ ratio. The combination of bio-based resources and lanthanide coordination can be further performed to achieve strong sustainable elastomers with improved macroscopic mechanical properties and unique fluorescent behavior.

Scale deposition in oil/gas/water wells is a critical factor affecting well stability, making targeted selection of descaling agents and their field application parameters crucial for enhancing and sustaining production. Currently, the petroleum industry commonly employs traditional gravimetry to evaluate dissolution rates—an intermittent testing method with discontinuous data acquisition, susceptible to human interference, and incapable of real-time monitoring. This results in insufficient data for dissolution process analysis, leading to significant testing errors and low efficiency. To address these limitations, this study considers the universal phenomenon of real-time volume reduction and buoyancy loss during solid dissolution. By introducing parameters such as “buoyancy-equivalent mass” and “tension-equivalent mass”, a real-time dissolution rate calculation method was established based on dynamic force variations. Furthermore, a real-time scale dissolution rate testing procedure was designed and refined, and a testing platform was constructed. To demonstrate the superiority of the new method, comparative experiments were conducted between this method and the traditional gravimetric method for scale dissolution rate testing, comparing their testing precision and efficiency. The comparative experimental results are as follows: (1) The new method exhibits superior testing precision : Compared to the traditional gravimetric method, its standard deviation and relative standard deviation decreased by 11.3% (3.07% vs. 3.46%) and 25.9% (5.31% vs. 7.17%), respectively; (2) The new method demonstrates higher testing efficiency : Compared to the traditional gravimetric method, it offers better time efficiency (shorter testing duration: 7.3 h vs. 8.5 h), superior resource efficiency (fewer equipment usage instances: 7 times vs. 15 times), and better output efficiency (larger volume of data collected: sampling frequency 1 Hz vs. 1 h −1 , a 3600-fold difference). This study proposes a novel real-time scale dissolution rate testing method that addresses the issue of discontinuous data acquisition. The method exhibits enhanced precision and efficiency. It holds great potential for studying the dissolution kinetics of salt scales and significant application value in the precise treatment of long-standing scale issues in oil and gas transportation pipelines.

Background SrMnO 3 demonstrates high efficiency in degrading chlorinated volatile organic compounds (CVOCs). However, the accumulation of chlorine species and the loss of active sites limit the further enhancement of its catalytic performance. Purpose To improve the catalytic and chlorine poisoning resistance properties of SrMnO 3 -based catalyst. Methods A modified hydrothermal method was employed to synthesize a multi-metal-oxides catalyst based on SrMnO 3 with Ce introduced to lattice to increase surface defect density. Influences of catalyst dosage, relative humidity, pollutant concentration and airspeed on chlorobenzene (CB) removal efficiency were systematically investigated. Results The results revealed the great removal efficiency of the multi-metal-oxides catalyst based on SrMnO 3 with T 90 of 247 ℃, T 95 of 269 ℃, and the mineralization rate of 71%. The catalytic mechanism on the catalyst was explored through comprehensive characterizations and the potential degradation pathways of CB were inferred. Conclusion This work provides new insights into the design of metal-doped perovskite catalysts, highlighting the critical role of surface defects and oxygen vacancies in catalytic performance.

Compatibilization is crucial for the blending of immiscible polymers to develop high-performance composites; however, traditional compatibilization by copolymers (pre-made or in-situ generation) suffers from weak interface anchoring, and inorganic particles have gained extensive attention recently owing to their large interfacial desorption energy, while their low affinity to bulk components is a drawback. In this study, an interfacial atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) technique was employed to grow polystyrene (PS) and poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate)(PHEMA) simultaneously on different hemispheres of Br-functionalized SiO 2 nanoparticles to stabilize a Pickering emulsion, whereby a brush-type Janus nanoparticle (SiO 2 @JNP) was developed. The polymer brushes were well-characterized, and the Janus feature was validated by transmission electron microscope (TEM) observation of the sole hemisphere grafting of SiO 2 -PS as a control sample. SiO 2 @JNP was demonstrated to be an efficient compatibilizer for a PS/poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) immiscible blend, and the droplet-matrix morphology was significantly refined. The mechanical strength and toughness of the blend were synchronously enhanced at a low content SiO 2 @JNP optimized ~0.9 wt%, with the tensile strength, elongation at break and impact strength increased by 17.7%, 26.6% and 19.6%, respectively. This enhancement may be attributed to the entanglements between the grafted polymer brushes and individual components that improve the particle-bulk phase affinity and enforce interfacial adhesion.

A novel magnetic solid-phase extraction (MSPE) material, ferroferric oxide@UIO-66@ glycidyl methacrylate (Fe 3 O 4 @UIO-66@GMA), was developed for the rapid and efficient enrichment and detection of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) in feed samples. The Fe 3 O 4 core provides magnetic properties for easy separation, while UIO-66, a zirconium-based metal–organic framework (MOF), offers a high surface area and abundant active sites for adsorption. The introduction of GMA enhances the interaction between the target toxin and the adsorbent material, improving the selectivity and sensitivity of the extraction process. Under optimized conditions, Fe 3 O 4 @UIO-66@GMA exhibited unparalleled adsorption performance, achieving efficient adsorption of AFB1 within 15 min and demonstrating an adsorption capacity as high as 18.51 mg/g. More importantly, spike recovery experiments indicated that this novel material could effectively enrich and detect AFB1 in complex feed matrices, providing a promising approach for AFB1 monitoring in the food and feed industry.
