Although phase transition materials (PTMs) under external stimuli are of great research interest duo to their rich potential applications, it is still challenging to explore multi-responsive PTMs. Herein, two different phases of organic-inorganic hybrid copper-based halides, α- and β-Gua Cu I (Gua =CN H ), were synthesized by solvent evaporation method, which they crystalize in the noncentrosymmetric space group Fdd2 with zero-dimensional structure and centrosymmetric space group C2/c with one-dimensional metal-halogen framework, respectively. Interestingly, it is firstly demonstrated that Gua Cu I simultaneously possesses reversible PL conversion and NLO switching properties in response to thermal stimulus. Strikingly, apart from heat, its structural phase transition can also be triggered by crystalline-phase-recognition (CPR) and mechanical force. These new findings may pave a path for future exploration of PTMs with multiple physical properties.

Cold stress in winter is one of the most severe abiotic stresses on plant growth and flourishing, and the selection of cold tolerant genotypes is an important strategy to ensure the safety of plant growth and development. Cyclocarya paliurus, a diclinous and versatile tree species originally in subtropical regions, has been introduced and cultivated in the warm temperate zone of China to meet the increasing market demand for its leaf yield. However, information regarding its cold tolerance remains limited.

Stenosis causes the narrowing of arteries due to plaque buildup, which impedes blood flow and affects flow dynamics. This work numerically analyzes flow fluctuations in stenosed arteries under realistic physiological conditions (resting and exercise) and external body acceleration. The artery is inclined at angle , and blood rheology is modeled using a generalized power-law fluid.

Cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) is represented as an intricate dysfunctional interplay between the heart and kidneys, marked by cardiorenal inflammation and fibrosis. Unlike other organs, the repair process in cardiorenal injury involves a regenerative phase characterized by proliferation and polyploidization, followed by a subsequent pathogenic phase of fibrosis. In CRS, acute or chronic cardiorenal injury leads to hyperactive inflammation and fibrotic remodeling, associated with injury-mediated immune cell (Macrophages, Monocytes, and T-cells) infiltration and myofibroblast activation.

However, prior analyses were limited by a narrow timeframe, a diverse research focus, biases in phase-to-phase transition methodology or a focus on specific use cases. We calculated unbiased input:output ratios (Phase I to FDA new drug approval) to analyze the likelihood of first approval using data from clinicaltrials.

Considering factors such as crustal reserves, atomic mass, redox potential and energy density, sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are regarded as the most promising alternative to lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Transition metal-based layered oxides, especially typical NaMnO, stand out among cathode materials due to their low cost and high energy density. However, NaMnO cathodes face several challenges, including Jahn-Teller distortion, manganese dissolution, structural collapse, irreversible phase transition and significant capacity loss.
