Although real-world complex systems typically interact through sparse and heterogeneous networks, analytic solutions of their dynamics are limited to models with all-to-all interactions. Here, we solve the dynamics of a broad range of nonlinear models of complex systems on sparse directed networks with a random structure. By generalizing dynamical mean-field theory to sparse systems, we derive an exact equation for the path probability describing the effective dynamics of a single degree of freedom. Our general solution applies to key models in the study of neural networks, ecosystems, epidemic spreading, and synchronization. Using the population dynamics algorithm, we solve the path-probability equation to determine the phase diagram of a seminal neural network model in the sparse regime, showing that this model undergoes a transition from a fixed-point phase to chaos as a function of the network topology.

Critically ill patients that require kidney replacement therapy (KRT) are among the most ill and complex patients routinely encountered in the intensive care unit (ICU). Continuous KRT (CKRT) is used across many ICUs as the therapy of choice for hemodynamically unstable patients with kidney failure. Though existing trials have not shown superior survival or kidney recovery with CKRT relative to intermittent KRT, CKRT has largely become the standard of care in developed nations for the treatment of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients with shock, acute brain injury, acute liver failure, and other forms of critical illness.

Renewable energy has made significant strides, with the cost of clean electricity plummeting, making the use of renewable electricity for electrocatalytic CO2 reduction to synthesize high-value chemicals and fuels more economically attractive. Notably, certain non-copper-based electrocatalysts have shown remarkable selectivity for C2+ products at low overpotentials, even enabling the production of multi-carbon molecules that are undetectable on copper-based electrodes. This breakthrough opens up new avenues for research into non-copper catalysts.

Quantum chemical methods and time-resolved laser spectroscopy are employed to elucidate ultrafast charge-separation processes in triphenylamine (TPA) derivatives upon photoexcitation. When changing the ambient solvent from non-electron-accepting to electron-acceptor solvents, such as chloroform, a vastly extended and multifaceted photochemistry of TPA derivatives is observed. Following initial excitation, two concurrent charge-transfer processes are identified.

Nanoparticles (NPs) have generated significant interest in various fields due to the unique properties that materials exhibit at the nanoscale. This study presents a comparative analysis of copper nanoparticles (Cu-NPs) and cobalt nanoparticles (Co-NPs) synthesized via conventional solvothermal and green hydrothermal synthesis using ethylene glycol and extract, respectively. The conventional solvothermal synthesis showed higher efficiency for both Cu-NPs and Co-NPs with yields of 32.

The development of sustainable and tunable materials is crucial for advancing modern technologies. We present a controlled synthesis of colloidal Na-Cu-S nanostructures. To overcome the reactivity difference between Na and Cu precursors toward chalcogens in a colloidal synthesis and to achieve metastable phase formation, we designed a single-source precursor for Cu and S.
