The effect of the elemental composition of AlSiN coatings deposited on Cu substrates by magnetron sputtering on their structure, mechanical properties and thermal cycling performance is studied. The coatings with Al-Si-N solid solution, two-phase (AlSiN nanocrystallites embedded in the SiN tissue phase) and amorphous structure were obtained by varying Al/Si ratio. It is shown that polycrystalline coatings with a low Si content (AlSiN) are characterized by the highest thermal cycling resistance. While the coatings with a high and intermediate Si content (AlSiN and AlSiN) were subjected to cracking and spallation after the first cycle of annealing at a temperature of 1000 °C, delamination of the AlSiN coating was observed after 25 annealing cycles. The AlSiN coating also exhibited the best barrier performance against copper diffusion from the substrate. The effect of thermal stresses on the diffusion barrier performance of the coatings against copper diffusion is discussed.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a prevalent malignancy worldwide, associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Cyclin-dependent kinase 1 (CDK1) plays a crucial role in cell cycle regulation and has been implicated in various cancers. This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of CDK1 in CRC and to identify traditional Chinese medicines (TCM) that can target CDK1 as potential treatments for CRC.

The plastic waste accumulation requires facile yet effective solutions. Currently mechanical recycling typically leads to downcycling, while the environmental footprint of chemical recycling is often unacceptable. Here, we introduce a dual circularity concept, where rational molecular design paves the way for complementary closed-loop mechanical and chemical recyclability under mild conditions.

Survival of brachyuran crabs is temperature-dependent and thermal stress promotes changes during molting. We aimed to decipher the impact of thermal stresses on the X-organ/sinus gland (XO/SG) complex, a temperature-sensitive neuroendocrine tissue involved in the molting regulation of Callinectes sapidus during the intermolt and premolt phases. We employed a proteogenomic approach using specimens subjected to control (24 °C), cold (19 °C), and heat (29 °C) temperatures.

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have broad application prospects in many fields because of their high energy density. However, the poor heat resistance of polyolefin membranes and uneven lithium deposition result in battery failure and even infamous thermal runaway behavior. To improve the intrinsic safety of batteries, fire-retardant, thermally conductive, electrospinning strategies are employed to acquire a functional polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofiber separator (PAN@FBN/TPP) containing modified boron nitride (FBN) and triphenyl phosphate (TPP).
