In Li-O batteries (LOBs), the electron transfer between triplet O and singlet LiO possesses a spin-dependent character but is still neglected, while the spin-conserved electron transfer without losing phase information should guarantee fast kinetics and reduced energy barriers. Here, we provide a paradigm of spin-selective catalysis for LOB that the ferromagnetic quantum spin exchange interactions between Pt and Fe atoms in fully-exposed PtFe clusters filter directional e-spins for spin-conserved electron transfer at Fe-Fe sites. The kinetics of O/LiO redox reaction is markedly accelerated as predicted by theoretical calculations, showing dramatically decreased relaxation time of the rate determining step for more than one order of magnitude, compared with the Fe clusters without spin-selective behavior.

Many deep models exhibit high recognition rates in tea leaves detection. However, deploying these models directly on tea-picking equipment in natural environments is impractical; the extremely high parameters and computational complexity of these models make it challenging to perform real-time tea leaves detection.

To improve detection efficiency and reduce cost consumption in fishery surveys, target detection methods based on computer vision have become a new method for fishery resource surveys. However, the specialty and complexity of underwater photography result in low detection accuracy, limiting its use in fishery resource surveys. To solve these problems, this study proposed an accurate method named BSSFISH-YOLOv8 for fish detection in natural underwater environments.

As a unique livestock animal that is native to the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau, the yak plays an important role in maintaining ecosystem stability, ensuring the livelihoods of herdsmen, promoting socio-economic development, and preserving ethnic cultural traditions. However, given its small market share, little is known about the factors that drive Chinese consumer preferences for yak meat.

Common methods for predicting ncRNAs are susceptible to significant effects of experimental conditions and computational methods, resulting in the need for significant investment of time and resources. Therefore, we constructed an ncRNA predictor(MFPINC), to predict potential ncRNA in plants which is based on the PINC tool proposed by our previous studies.

However, oxygen-based hosts still suffer from unfavorable structural rearrangement, including the oxygen release and transition metal (TM)-ion migration, in association with the tenuous framework rooted in the ionicity of the TM-O bonding. An intrinsic solution, by using a sulfur-based host with strong TM-S covalency, is proposed here to buffer the lattice distortion upon the highly activating sulfur redox process, and it achieves howling success in stabilizing the host frameworks.

Glucose oxidase (GOD) is widely used in the pharmaceutical industry, fermentation products and glucose biosensors for its essential role in catalyzing the conversion of glucose to gluconic acid and hydrogen peroxide (HO). As HO is the by-product and will have a toxic effect on glucose oxidase, so introducing another enzyme that could consume HO to form an enzymatic cascade reaction is a practical solution. However, this decision will lead to extra expenses and complex condition optimization such as the specific mass ratio, temperature and pH to improve the activity, stability and recyclability.
