Energy resolved photon-counting detectors could achieve more than one spectral measurement. The goal of this study is to investigate, with experiment, the ability to decompose five materials using energy discriminating detectors and multiple discriminant analysis (MDA). A small field-of-view multi-energy CT system was built. Linear attenuation coefficient was considered as features of multiple energy CT. MDA was used to decompose five materials with six measurements of the energy dependent linear attenuation coefficients. The results of the experimental study showed that a CT system based on CdTe detectors with MDA can be used to decompose five materials.

Developing a catalytic nanoenzyme activated by the tumor microenvironment (TME) shows excellent potential for in situ cancer treatment. However, the rational design of a cascade procedure to achieve high therapeutic efficiency remains challenging. In this study, the colorectal TME-responsive multifunctional cascade nanoenzyme CuO@MnO@glucose oxidase (GOx)@hyaluronic acid (HA) was developed to target in situ cancer starvation/chemodynamic therapy (CDT)/photothermal therapy (PTT).

Enhancing the decomposition rate of ammonium perchlorate (AP), the most common oxidizer in solid propellants, is important for improving propellant performance. Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) have been developed as key materials for catalyzing AP decomposition, as they can achieve good dispersion of active sites through in-situ decomposition. Despite having considerable potential, the structural transformation process and catalytic performance of MOFs in AP decomposition are still unclear, which seriously hinders their application in the field of AP decomposition.

Electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectra contain key information about molecular chirality by discriminating the absolute configurations of chiral molecules, which is crucial in asymmetric organic synthesis and the drug industry. However, existing predictive approaches lack the consideration of ECD spectra owing to the data scarcity and the limited interpretability to achieve trustworthy prediction. Here we establish a large-scale dataset for chiral molecular ECD spectra and propose ECDFormer for accurate and interpretable ECD spectrum prediction.

Boronic acids have been widely applied in various biological fields, particularly achieving significant practical progress in boronic acid-based glucose sensing. However, boronic acids exhibit nonspecific binding to other nucleophiles, and the inherent lability of boronic esters in biological systems limits their further applications. Herein, we developed a stimuli-responsive controllable caging strategy to achieve photoresponsive spatiotemporally and nitroreductase-responsive cancer cell-selective glucose sensing.

Litter decomposition is essential for nutrient and chemical cycling in terrestrial ecosystems. Previous research on litter decomposition has often underestimated its impact on soil nutrient dynamics and allelopathy. To address this gap, we conducted a comprehensive study involving both field and greenhouse experiments to examine the decomposition and allelopathic effects of the invasive L.
