Earthworm-Inspired Ultra-Durable Sliding Triboelectric Nanogenerator with Bionic Self-Replenishing Lubricating Property for Wind Energy Harvesting and Self-Powered Intelligent Sports Monitoring.

Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs), a promising strategy for harvesting distributed low-quality power sources, face inevitable bottlenecks regarding long-term abrasion and poor durability. Herein, both issues are addressed by selecting an earthworm-inspired self-replenishing bionic film (ERB) as the tribo-material of sliding-freestanding TENGs (SF-TENGs), it consists of an interconnected 3D porous network structure capable of storing and releasing lubricant under cyclic mechanical stimuli. Thanks to the superiority of self-replenishing property, there is no need for periodic replenishment and accurate content control of lubricant over the interfacial-lubricating SF-TENGs based on dense tribo-layers.

Exploring Physical Activity in Children and Adolescents with Disabilities: A Bibliometric Review of Current Status, Guidelines, Perceived Barriers, and Facilitators and Future Directions.

Background: Physical activity contributes to both physiological and psychosocial benefits for children and adolescents with disabilities. However, the prevalence of physical inactivity is notably higher among disabled young people compared to their healthy peers. Despite this, there is a lack of constructed knowledge structure, evolutionary path, research hotspots, and frontiers in studies related to physical activity in young people with disabilities.

Double cross-linked 3D layered PBI proton exchange membranes for stable fuel cell performance above 200 °C.

Phosphoric acid doped proton exchange membranes often experience performance degradation above 200 °C due to membrane creeping and phosphoric acid evaporation, migration, dehydration, and condensation. To address these issues, here we present gel-state polybenzimidazole membranes with double cross-linked three-dimensional layered structures via a polyphosphoric acid sol-gel process, enabling stable operation above 200 °C. These membranes, featuring proton-conducting cross-linking phosphate bridges and branched polybenzimidazole networks, effectively anchor and retain phosphoric acid molecules, prevent 96% of its dehydration and condensation, improve creep resistance, and maintain excellent proton conductivity stability.

Characterization and Functional Analysis of Fads Reveals Δ5 Desaturation Activity during Long-Chain Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid Biosynthesis in Dwarf Surf Clam .

Fatty acid desaturases (Fads), as key enzymes in the biosynthesis of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFAs), catalyze the desaturation between defined carbons of fatty acyl chains and control the degree of unsaturation of fatty acids. In the present study, two Fads genes, designated and , were identified from the genome of the dwarf surf clam (Mollusca, Mactridae), and their spatiotemporal expression was examined. MulFadsA and MulFadsB contained the corresponding conserved functional domains and clustered closely with their respective orthologs from other mollusks.

Benefits and trade-offs of replacing inorganic fertilizer by organic substrate in crop production: A global meta-analysis.

Replacing inorganic fertilizer with organic substrate contributes to sustainable agricultural production capacity. However, the effects of organic substitution regimes (OSR) on global crop productivity, soil carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) losses and biofertility as function of environmental variables have not been systematically quantified. Here, we have conducted a meta-analysis of these effects using field data (211 papers with 852 observations) collected around the world.

Impact of cesarean section on metabolic syndrome components in offspring rats.

Introduction: Epidemiological evidence suggests an association between CS and offspring metabolic syndrome (MetS), but whether a causal relationship exists is unknown.

The development of logic gate-based fluorescent probes that respond to intracellular hydrogen peroxide and pH in tandem.

Logic gate-based fluorescent probes are powerful tools for the discriminative sensing of multiple signaling molecules that are expressed in concert during the progression of many diseases such as inflammation, cancer, aging, and other disorders. To achieve logical sensing, multiple functional groups are introduced to the different substitution sites of a single fluorescent dye, which increases the complexity of chemical synthesis. Herein, we report a simple strategy that incorporates just one responsive unit into a hemicyanine dye achieving the logic gate-based sensing of two independent analytes.

Maternal glycemic status during pregnancy and mid-childhood plasma amino acid profiles: findings from a multi-ethnic Asian birth cohort.

Background: Increasing maternal glycaemia across the continuum during pregnancy may predispose offspring to subsequent cardiometabolic risk later in life. However, evidence of long-term impacts of maternal glycemic status on offspring amino acid (AA) profiles is scarce. We aimed to investigate the association between maternal antenatal glycaemia and offspring mid-childhood amino acid (AA) profiles, which are emerging cardiometabolic biomarkers.

A Ratiometric Fluorescent Probe Based on RhB Functionalized Tb-MOFs for the Continuous Visual Detection of Fe and AA.

In this study, a red-green dual-emitting fluorescent composite (RhB@MOFs) was constructed by introducing the red-emitting organic fluorescent dye rhodamine B (RhB) into metal-organic frameworks (Tb-MOFs). The sample can be used as a ratiometric fluorescent probe, which not only avoids errors caused by instrument and environmental instability but also has multiple applications in detection. The results indicated that the RhB@MOFs exhibited a turned-off response toward Fe and a turned-on response for the continuous detection of ascorbic acid (AA).

Artificial bi-functional layers promoting Zn desolvation and homogeneous deposition for reversible zinc metal anodes.

Rechargeable aqueous zinc-ion hybrid supercapacitors (ZHSs) are drawing extensive attention because of their cost-effectiveness and diminished safety hazards. Nevertheless, large-scale application of ZHSs has been hindered by the severe side reactions and rampant dendrites growth on the surface of Zn metal anodes. Herein, we propose a three-dimensional organic-inorganic composite frame material as an artificial bi-functional layer coated on the zinc foil, featuring nitrogenous functional groups with zincophilicity (abbreviated as NCFM@Zn).
