Excessive nutrients and explosive growth of harmful microalgae in water environments are key challenges in the treatment of eutrophication. The development of a low-cost, time-saving, and small-space-suitable research method that can simultaneously remove nutrients and microalgae is highly anticipated. This work first proposed applying microrobots to eutrophication treatment.

Article Synopsis
  • Inorganic lead-free double perovskites, specifically CsPdBrI, were developed as safer alternatives to toxic Pb-based perovskites, showing promising stability and properties.
  • They exhibit tunable bandgap values between 0.77-1.73 eV and enhanced visible light absorption, making them potential candidates for use in solar cells.
  • The theoretical efficiency of these materials suggests they could perform comparably to existing lead-based options, with the potential to be used in tandem solar cell designs for better energy conversion.

Objective: The purpose of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the beneficial effects and optimal stimulation protocol of noninvasive brain stimulation (NIBS) including repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on patients with mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer disease.

Materials And Methods: PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and the Cochrane Library were searched until March 2020. The cognitive outcomes were extracted and the standardized mean difference with 95% confidence interval was calculated.

Exploration of photovoltaic materials has received enormous interest for a wide range of both fundamental and applied research. Therefore, in this work, we identify a CsSi compound with a Zintl phase as a promising candidate for photovoltaic material by using a global structure prediction method. Electronic structure calculations indicate that this phase possesses a quasi-direct band gap of 1.

Objective: The mainstay of treatment for advanced bladder cancer (BC) is cisplatin (CDDP)-based systematic chemotherapy. However, acquired chemoresistance induced by as yet unidentified mechanisms is encountered frequently and often results in treatment failure and disease progression. The present study was designed to elucidate the expression and potential role of the gene associated with retinoid-interferon-induced mortality-19 (GRIM19) in the pathogenesis of CDDP resistance in BC.

Using a recently developed 'Crystal structure AnaLYsis by Particle Swarm Optimization' (CALYPSO) algorithm on a structural search, we predicted a novel sp(3) carbon allotrope possessing an orthorhombic lattice with the space group Cmmm (oC32). The calculated elastic constants and the simulated hardness revealed that oC32 simultaneously possesses ultra-incompressible and superhard properties with a high bulk modulus of 457 GPa and a high Vickers hardness of 96.2 GPa.
