Nanoization of Technical Pesticides: Facile and Smart Pesticide Nanocapsules Directly Encapsulated through "On Site" Metal-Polyphenol Coordination Assembly for Improved Efficacy and Biosafety.

Facile pesticide nanocapsules were successfully prepared by directly encapsulating the antisolvent precipitation of pesticides through instantaneous "on site" coordination assembly of tannic acid and Fe, avoiding tedious preparation, time consumption, and large amounts of organic solvents. The pesticide nanocapsules showed excellent resistance to ultraviolet photolysis and rainwater washing owing to the nanocapsule walls. The smart pesticide nanocapsules exhibited the controlled release of pesticides under multidimensional stimuli, such as acidic/alkaline pH, glutathione, HO, phytic acid, laccase, tannase, and sunlight, which were related to the physiological and natural environments of crops, pests, and pathogens.

Stem cell-derived exosome delivery systems for treating atherosclerosis: The new frontier of stem cell therapy.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a leading cause of mortality worldwide. As a chronic inflammatory disease with a complicated pathophysiology marked by abnormal lipid metabolism and arterial plaque formation, atherosclerosis is a major contributor to CVDs and can induce abrupt cardiac events. The discovery of exosomes' role in intercellular communication has sparked a great deal of interest in them recently.

TCN-Transformer Deep Network with Random Forest for Prediction of the Chemical Synthetic Ammonia Process.

It is of great significance to realize the accurate prediction of the key output response of the chemical synthetic ammonia process for optimizing system performance and operation monitoring. Because many key intermediate variables of complex systems are difficult to measure comprehensively, there are great difficulties and errors in mechanism analysis and identification modeling techniques. Based on random forest (RF) variable selection, a deep neural network combining temporal convolutional network (TCN) and transformer is proposed to predict the output variables of the synthetic ammonia process.

Compound exposure of 2.8 GHz and 9.3 GHz microwave causes learning and memory impairment in rats.

The anxieties and concerns about health hazards caused by microwave has been growing recently. Previous studies have reported microwave induced structural and functional injuries to brain. However, the biological effects caused by compound microwave were largely unexplored.

Mechanically Adaptive Materials based on Dynamic Chemical Bonds.

Adaptiveness is an important feature for biological creatures to survive and interact with variable environments. Mechanically adaptive polymers (MAPs), which have been developed recently inspired by this adaptive nature, can regulate their mechanical properties in response to external stimuli or environmental changes. Specifically, MAPs based on dynamic chemical bonds have been synthesized and reported as an emerging material because of the intrinsic self-adaptability, outstanding mechanical properties and durable applications.
