Exposure to early life stress (ELS) can exert long-lasting impacts on emotional regulation. The corticolimbic system including the basolateral amygdala (BLA), ventral hippocampus (vHIP), and the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) plays a key role in fear learning. Using the limited bedding paradigm (LB), we examined the…

The Invisible Internet Project (I2P) is a peer-to-peer anonymous overlay network whose architecture includes a structurally distinct sublayer not characterized in existing security literature. We term this sublayer the Exclusive Network: nodes here host operational services and draw on I2P's routing resources, but…

Highlights What are the main findings?1. A layered NSGA-II algorithm is proposed, decomposing the high-dimensional constellation design problem into orbit, configuration, and sensor layers, achieving a hypervolume (HV) of 13.81. 2. Compared with classical NSGA-II, MOPSO, MOEA/D, and SPEA2, the proposed method improves…

Human RNA Polymerase II (Pol II) is characterized by a dense layer of over 775 post-translational modifications (PTMs) that form a dynamic, rewritable regulatory architecture integrating large numbers of cellular signals to coordinate transcription initiation, elongation, termination, and co-transcriptional RNA…

The rapid proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, projected to exceed 30 billion interconnected devices by 2030, has significantly escalated the complexity of cybersecurity challenges. This survey aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of vulnerabilities, threats, and defense mechanisms, specifically…

The concepts of heterogeneity and diversity are related but distinct, and are often conflated. 63 crystallized this distinction with the phrase “a zoo is diverse, whereas an ecosystem is heterogeneous”: while diversity quantifies discrete objects (e.g., species), heterogeneity captures the interactions among them as…

Control of fluids is a hallmark of microfluidic systems and fundamental for the successful application of microfluidic devices. Trigger valves use geometric features to autonomously control the release of fluids in microfluidic devices. Our previous work has adapted geometries used in closed trigger valve systems to…

Two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) magnetic materials have emerged as key materials for nextgeneration magneto-electric and spintronic devices, where understanding the relationship between layer number, lattice dynamics, and magnetic interactions is very important. In this work, we report the observation of the…

Vertically stacking distinct two-dimensional (2D) materials into van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures has proven to be an effective paradigm for overcoming single-layer limitations and boosting optoelectronic capabilities. In this study, we employ first-principles calculations to systematically probe the structural…

Three coordination compounds of formula [CoCl2(N,N′)]n [N,N' = 4,4′-bipyridine (4,4′-bpy), (Cobpy); trans-4,4′-azopyridine (t-apy), (Coapy); and trans-1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethylene (t-bpee), (Cobpee)] have been prepared using solvothermal procedures. They have been characterized by different techniques, including the ab…

Metallic thin films are indispensable in flexible electronics, yet their brittleness under tensile strain has impeded their use in intrinsically stretchable devices. Here, we overcome this barrier with a multilayer platform of alternating nanomembranes of metal and porous elastomer assembled via exponential stacking.…

The performance of Pt-based oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalysts in proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) arises from complex interactions among Pt nanoparticles, carbon supports, and proton-conductive ionomer. Membrane electrode assembly (MEA) testing is the industrial benchmark for catalyst evaluation but…

Cells have evolved to sense a wide range of input combinations and integrate those signals through signaling pathways to produce context-specific responses, such as differentiation, cell-type specification, and patterning. To replicate this information-processing capacity, synthetic biology has developed large-scale…

TransiƟon metal di-iodides such as FeI2, NiI2 and CoI2 are an emerging class of 2D magnets exhibiƟng rich and diverse magneƟc behaviour, but their study at the monolayer limit has been severely hindered by fabricaƟon challenges due to their air-sensiƟvity. Here, we introduce a polymer-free method for clean, rapid, and…

Electrochemical hydrogenation (e-H) of organic substrates represents a key transformation for advancing industrial electrification and sustainable chemical manufacturing. Here, we represent e-H of acetone and pyridine by cobalt nanoparticles derived from a Co-based MOF. A novel two-dimensional cobalt metal–organic…

Interlayer interactions in layered materials are often assumed to transfer from the bilayer to the bulk, but this assumption can fail when chemically active out-of-plane orbitals participate in bonding. We combine diffusion quantum Monte Carlo (DMC) and density functional theory (DFT) to determine how interlayer…

Borophene, a unique two-dimensional boron-based material with a graphene-like structure, has attracted growing interest due to its special configurations and remarkable physical and chemical properties. This study focuses on four different borophene phases: alpha, beta12, gamma3, and trigonal, and systematically…
