The Pb- and Sb- dual nanostructured PbTe system exhibits anomalous electronic transport behavior wherein the carrier mobility first increases and then decreases with increase in temperature. By combining in situ transmission electron microscopy observations and theoretical calculations based on energy filtering of charge carriers, we propose a plausible mechanism of charge transport based on interphase potential that is mediated by interdiffusion between coexisting Pb and Sb precipitates. These findings promise new strategies to enhance thermoelectric figure of merit via dual and multinanostructuring of miscible precipitates.

Geophysical methods are extensively used to assess contaminated sites. However, the validation of geophysical exploration results remains crucial for practical applications of these methods. In this study, Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) and Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) were used to investigate an abandoned hydrocarbon-contaminated site in Jiangsu, China.

Transition metal dichalcogenides display a high technological potential due to their wide range of electronic ground states. Here, we unveil that by tuning hydrostatic pressure P, a cascade of electronic phase transitions can be induced in the few-layer transition metal dichalcogenide 1T'-WS. As P increases, we observe the suppression of superconductivity with the concomitant emergence of an anomalous Hall effect (AHE) at GPa.

The treatment of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) has been rapidly evolving over the last two decades. The advent of new androgen receptor pathway inhibitors (ARPIs) such as abiraterone acetate or enzalutamide marks a great advance for treating mCRPC patientd in the pre- and post-docetaxel settings. The subsequent approval of ARPIs in early stages-i.

Ultrasound images and biological indicators, which reveal Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) characteristics in thyroid tissue from different perspectives, play crucial roles in HT recognition. Ultrasound images of patients with HT typically present a heterogeneous background with potential decreases in echogenicity. Clinicians are prone to misdiagnosing HT by visually evaluating these characteristics.

The Twain-Hu Basin (THB), located in Central China, serves as a key juncture where the northerly "polluted" airflows of the East Asian winter monsoon meet the southerly warm and humid airflows. Using the T-PCA (T-mode Principal Component Analysis) objective synoptic pattern classification, Flexible Particle-Weather Research and Forecasting (FLEXPART-WRF) model, and Random Forest model, we investigate the influences of synoptic circulations on regional transport, local accumulation, and chemical transformation of PM during heavy air pollution over the THB in January of 2015-2022. The results show that the transport-type synoptic pattern accounts for 65.
