Recently, conductive materials (i.e., carbon-based and iron-based materials) as a feasible and attractive approach have been introduced to anaerobic co-digestion (ACoD) system for promoting its performance and stability through direct interspecies electron transfer. Owing to the key roles of conductive materials in ACoD process, it is imperative to gain a profound understanding of their specific functions and mechanisms. Here, this review critically examined the state of the art of conductive materials assisted ACoD of food waste and common municipal organic solid waste. Then, the fundamental roles of conductive materials on ACoD enhancement and the relevant mechanisms were discussed. Last, the perspectives for co-digestate treatment, reutilization, and disposal were summarized. Moreover, the main challenges to conductive materials amended ACoD in on-site application were proposed and the future remarks were put forward. Collectively, this review poses a scientific basis for the potential application of conductive materials in ACoD process in the future.

Recent progress in superconductor-insulator transition has shed light on the intermediate metallic state with unique electronic inhomogeneity. The microscopic model, suggesting that carrier spatial distribution plays a decisive role in the intermediate state, has been instrumental in understanding the quantum transition. However, the narrow carrier density window in which the intermediate state exists necessitates precise control of the gate dielectric layer, presenting a challenge to in situ map the carrier spatial distribution.

Single-crystal Au(111), renowned for its chemically inert surface, long-range "herringbone" reconstruction, and high electrical conductivity, has long served as an exemplary template in diverse fields, , crystal epitaxy, electronics, and electrocatalysis. However, commercial Au(111) products are high-priced and limited to centimeter sizes, largely restricting their broad applications. Herein, a low-cost, high-reproducible method is developed to produce 4 in.

Purpose: We aimed to determine whether implementation of clinical decision support (CDS) tool integrated into the electronic health record (EHR) of a multi-site academic medical center increased the proportion of patients with American Urological Association (AUA) "high risk" microscopic hematuria (MH) who receive guideline concordant evaluations.

Materials And Methods: We conducted a two-arm cluster randomized quality improvement project in which 202 ambulatory sites from a large health system were randomized to either have their physicians receive at time of test results an automated CDS alert for patients with 'high-risk' MH with associated recommendations for imaging and cystoscopy (intervention) or usual care (control). Primary outcome was met if a patient underwent both imaging and cystoscopy within 180 days from MH result.

Molecule-electrode interfaces play a pivotal role in defining the electron transport properties of molecular electronic devices. While extensive research has concentrated on optimizing molecule-electrode coupling (MEC) involving electrode materials and molecular anchoring groups, the role of the molecular backbone structure in modulating MEC is equally vital. Additionally, it is known that the incorporation of heteroatoms into the molecular backbone notably influences factors such as energy levels and conductive characteristics.
