Rapid development of coatings with resistance to the space irradiation environment of low Earth orbit (LEO), which benefits long-duration exploration missions in LEO, improves the challenging urgency of revealing the interaction between atomic oxygen (AO) erosion and ultraviolet (UV) irradiation. Here, we investigated the simultaneous action of AO erosion and UV irradiation using polyimide (PI) and MIL-53(Al)-coated PI, confirming a synergistic enhancement effect of 21.20 and 14.96% compared to that of AO erosion alone. The resistance to simultaneous action was verified by a more stable chemical state and lower erosion yield ( = 4.386 × 10 cm/atom, 12% of pristine PI). Through first-principles calculations, the resistance processes to AO erosion and UV irradiation involve the formation of inert oxides, maintaining an unchanged framework and widening the band gap due to microstructure transformation, respectively. Based on these, simultaneous action resistance was explained, in which the boundaries between nanoparticle generation during UV irradiation provided a pathway for AO erosion and probability for collision with the framework to reduce the kinetic energy of AO. This work puts forward the novel investigation of simultaneous action in LEO, confirms the application potential of MIL-53(Al), and offers a new idea to protect the spacecraft.

A novel variant of paired-associative stimulation (PAS) consisting of high-frequency peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) and high-intensity transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) above the motor cortex, called high-PAS, can lead to improved motor function in patients with incomplete spinal cord injury. In PAS, the interstimulus interval (ISI) between the PNS and TMS pulses plays a significant role in the location of the intended effect of the induced plastic changes. While conventional PAS protocols (single TMS pulse often applied with intensity close to resting motor threshold, and single PNS pulse) usually require precisely defined ISIs, high-PAS can induce plasticity at a wide range of ISIs and also in spite of small ISI errors, which is helpful in clinical settings where precise ISI determination can be challenging.

Coordinated actions of cells in microbial communities and multicellular organisms enable them to perform complex tasks otherwise difficult for single cells. This has inspired biological engineers to build cellular consortia for larger circuits with improved functionalities while implementing communication systems for coordination among cells. Here, we investigate the signalling dynamics of a phage-mediated synthetic DNA messaging system and couple it with CRISPR interference to build distributed circuits that perform logic gate operations in multicellular bacterial consortia.

Background: The loss of finger control in individuals with neuromuscular disorders significantly impacts their quality of life. Electroencephalography (EEG)-based brain-computer interfaces that actuate neuroprostheses directly via decoded motor intentions can help restore lost finger mobility. However, the extent to which finger movements exhibit distinct and decodable EEG correlates remains unresolved.

Electrochemical advanced oxidation processes (EAOPs) are energy-efficient methods for generating activated radicals like HO and SO, which enable the degradation of difficult-to-mineralize chlorinated organic compounds. This study explored the catalytic activity and reaction mechanism of EAOPs under a dual strategy involving non-metal doped CN (X@CN (X = O, F, Si)) and a heterostructured build(X@CN/TiCT) using first principles calculation. The non-metal doping and the heterojunction construction can make HO and PMS spontaneously adsorb (E< 0), with negative Gibbs free energy for their oxidation to HO and SO, significantly enhancing catalytic activity.

The rearranged-during-transfection (RET) kinase is a validated target for the treatment of RET-altered cancers. Currently approved RET-selective kinase inhibitors, selpercatinib (LOXO-292) and pralsetinib (BLU-667), increase the oncogenic RET protein level upon treatment, which may affect their efficacy. We seek to reduce the oncogenic RET protein level and RET kinase activity simultaneously.
