文摘The capacity of the central nervous system for structural plasticity and regeneration is commonly believed to show a decreasing progression from“small and simple”brains to the larger,more complex brains of mammals.However,recent findings revealed that some forms of neural plasticity can show a reverse trend.Although plasticity is a well-preserved,transversal feature across the animal world,a variety of cell populations and mechanisms seem to have evolved to enable structural modifications to take place in widely different brains,likely as adaptations to selective pressures.Increasing evidence now indicates that a trade-off has occurred between regenerative(mostly stem cell–driven)plasticity and developmental(mostly juvenile)remodeling,with the latter primarily aimed not at brain repair but rather at“sculpting”the neural circuits based on experience.In particular,an evolutionary trade-off has occurred between neurogenic processes intended to support the possibility of recruiting new neurons throughout life and the different ways of obtaining new neurons,and between the different brain locations in which plasticity occurs.This review first briefly surveys the different types of plasticity and the complexity of their possible outcomes and then focuses on recent findings showing that the mammalian brain has a stem cell–independent integration of new neurons into pre-existing(mature)neural circuits.This process is still largely unknown but involves neuronal cells that have been blocked in arrested maturation since their embryonic origin(also termed“immature”or“dormant”neurons).These cells can then restart maturation throughout the animal's lifespan to become functional neurons in brain regions,such as the cerebral cortex and amygdala,that are relevant to high-order cognition and emotions.Unlike stem cell–driven postnatal/adult neurogenesis,which significantly decreases from small-brained,short-living species to large-brained ones,immature neurons are particularly abundant in large-brained,long-living mammals,including humans.The immature neural cell populations hosted in these complex brains are an interesting example of an“enlarged road”in the phylogenetic trend of plastic potential decreases commonly observed in the animal world.The topic of dormant neurons that covary with brain size and gyrencephaly represents a prospective turning point in the field of neuroplasticity,with important translational outcomes.These cells can represent a reservoir of undifferentiated neurons,potentially granting plasticity within the high-order circuits subserving the most sophisticated cognitive skills that are important in the growing brains of young,healthy individuals and are frequently affected by debilitating neurodevelopmental and degenerative disorders.

文摘Serbisütherapy(ST)is a distinctive external treatment modality within traditional Mongolian medicine(TMM),historically developed within a nomadic cultural framework.This study presents a comprehensive philological and historical analysis of ST,tracing its evolution from early battlefield applications to contemporary clinical use.By critically examining classical Mongolian medical texts alongside modern case studies,we aim to systematize ST’s therapeutic methods,indications,and limitations,while exploring its mechanisms of action through both traditional theory and modern biomedical perspectives.ST has undergone significant transformation,shifting from whole-body cavity immersion in the 13th century to targeted,organ-specific applications in modern practice.Its four primary methods–Covering,Mounted,Organ Placement,and Suction–demonstrate efficacy in treating cold-natured diseases,musculoskeletal disorders,gynecological conditions,and certain emergencies.ST embodies the core principles of TMM,particularly the balance of the“Three Roots”and the correction of cold-induced pathologies through heat.Despite challenges related to standardization,cultural translation,and regulatory acceptance,ST holds translational potential for integrative medicine.Future research should prioritize mechanistic validation,clinical standardization,and the development of biocompatible thermal technologies to bridge traditional practice with modern healthcare systems.

文摘Low-density superalloys often exhibit low yield strength in the intermediate temperature range(300−650℃).To enhance yield performance in this range,the CALPHAD method was used to design a new Co-based superalloy.The Co−30Ni−10Al−3V−6Ti−2Ta alloy,designed based onγʹphase dissolution temperature and phase fraction,was synthesized via arc melting and heat treatment.Phase transition temperatures,microstructure evolution,and hightemperature mechanical properties were characterized by differential scanning calorimetry,scanning electron microscopy,dual-beam TEM,and compression tests.Results show that the alloy has low density(8.15 g/cm^(3))and highγʹdissolution temperature(1234℃),along with unique yield strength retention from room temperature to 650℃.The yield strength anomaly(YSA)is attributed to high stacking fault energy and activation of the Kear−Wilsdorf locking mechanism,contributing to superior high-temperature stability of the alloy.The yield strength of this alloy outperforms other lowdensity Co-based superalloys in the temperature range of 23−650℃.

文摘In underwater target search path planning,the accuracy of sonar models directly dictates the accurate assessment of search coverage.In contrast to physics-informed sonar models,traditional geometric sonar models fail to accurately characterize the complex influence of marine environments.To overcome these challenges,we propose an acoustic physics-informed intelligent path planning framework for underwater target search,integrating three core modules:The acoustic-physical modeling module adopts 3D ray-tracing theory and the active sonar equation to construct a physics-driven sonar detection model,explicitly accounting for environmental factors that influence sonar performance across heterogeneous spaces.The hybrid parallel computing module adopts a message passing interface(MPI)/open multi-processing(Open MP)hybrid strategy for large-scale acoustic simulations,combining computational domain decomposition and physics-intensive task acceleration.The search path optimization module adopts the covariance matrix adaptation evolution algorithm to solve continuous optimization problems of heading angles,which ensures maximum search coverage for targets.Largescale experiments conducted in the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans demonstrate the framework's effectiveness:(1)Precise capture of sonar detection range variations from 5.45 km to 50 km in heterogeneous marine environments.(2)Significant speedup of 453.43×for acoustic physics modeling through hybrid parallelization.(3)Notable improvements of 7.23%in detection coverage and 15.86%reduction in optimization time compared to the optimal baseline method.The framework provides a robust solution for underwater search missions in complex marine environments.

文摘Oxygen evolution reaction(OER)is a key step in hydrogen production by water electrolysis technology.How-ever,developing efficient,stable,and low-cost OER electrocatalysts is still challenging.This article presents the preparation of a series of novel copper iridium nanocatalysts with heterostructures and low iridium content for OER.The electrochemical tests revealed higher OER of Cu@Ir_(0.3) catalyst under acidic conditions with a generated current density of 10 mA/cm^(2) at only 284 mV overpotential.The corresponding OER mass activity was estimated to be 1.057 A/mgIr,a value 8.39-fold higher than that of the commercial IrO_(2).After 50 h of endurance testing,the Cu@Ir_(0.3) catalyst preserved excellent catalytic activity with a negligible rise in overpotential and maintained a good heterostructures.Cu@Ir_(0.3) The excellent OER activity can be attributed to its heterostructure,as con-firmed by density functional theory(DFT)calculations,indicating that Cu@Ir The coupling between isoquanta causes charge redistribution,optimizing the adsorption energy of unsaturated Ir sites for oxygen intermediates and reducing the energy barrier of OER free energy determining the rate step.In summary,this method provides a new approach for designing efficient,stable,and low iridium content OER catalysts.

文摘The dissimilar 2B06 and 7B04 Al alloy joints were prepared by refill friction stir spot welding(RFSSW),and the microstructural evolution and corrosion behavior of the joints were investigated.Based on microstructural analysis,the welded joints exhibit distinct microstructural zones,including the stir zone(SZ),thermomechanically affected zone(TMAZ),and heat-affected zone(HAZ).The grain size of each zone is in the order of HAZ>TMAZ>SZ.Notably,the TMAZ and HAZ contain significantly larger secondary-phase particles compared to the SZ,with particle size in the HAZ increasing at higher rotational speeds.Electrochemical tests indicate that corrosion susceptibility follows the sequence of HAZ>TMAZ>SZ>BM,with greater sensitivity observed at increased rotational speeds.Post-corrosion mechanical performance degradation primarily arises from crevice corrosion at joint overlaps,but not from the changes in the microstructure.

文摘The evolution of the S'precipitate in Al−Cu−Mg alloy was investigated using transmission electron microscopy(TEM),high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy(HAADF−STEM),molecular dynamics(MD)simulations,and other analytical techniques.The precipitation behavior during different aging stages of the supersaturated solid solution formed after rapid cold punching was focused,which induces rapid dissolution of precipitates.The findings reveal that the precipitation sequence is significantly influenced by aging temperature.At higher aging temperatures,which mitigate lattice distortion in the matrix,the precipitation sequence follows the conventional path.Conversely,at lower aging temperatures,where lattice distortion persists,the sequence deviates,suppressing the formation of Guinier−Preston−Bagaryatsky(GPB)zones.MD simulations confirm that the variations in solute atom diffusion rates at different aging temperatures lead to the differences in the S'phase precipitation sequence.

文摘Lithium-oxygen(Li-O2)batteries are perceived as a promising breakthrough in sustainable electrochemical energy storage,utilizing ambient air as an energy source,eliminating the need for costly cathode materials,and offering the highest theoretical energy density(~3.5 k Wh kg^(-1))among discussed candidates.Contributing to the poor cycle life of currently reported Li-O_(2)cells is singlet oxygen(1O_(2))formation,inducing parasitic reactions,degrading key components,and severely deteriorating cell performance.Here,we harness the chirality-induced spin selectivity effect of chiral cobalt oxide nanosheets(Co_(3)O_(4)NSs)as cathode materials to suppress 1O_(2)in Li-O_(2)batteries for the first time.Operando photoluminescence spectroscopy reveals a 3.7-fold and 3.23-fold reduction in 1O_(2)during discharge and charge,respectively,compared to conventional carbon paperbased cells,consistent with differential electrochemical mass spectrometry results,which indicate a near-theoretical charge-to-O_(2)ratio(2.04 e-/O_(2)).Density functional theory calculations demonstrate that chirality induces a peak shift near the Fermi level,enhancing Co 3d-O 2p hybridization,stabilizing reaction intermediates,and lowering activation barriers for Li_(2)O_(2)formation and decomposition.These findings establish a new strategy for improving the stability and energy efficiency of sustainable Li-O_(2)batteries,abridging the current gap to commercialization.

文摘Optimizing the microchannel design of the next generation of chips requires an understanding of the in situ property evolution of the chip-based materials under fast cooling.This work overcomes the conventional reliance on reheating data of melt-quenched glasses by demonstrating direct observations of glass transition on cooling curves utilizing the most advanced fast differential scanning calorimetry.By leveraging an MEMS chip sensor that allows for rapid heat extraction from microgram-sized samples to a purged gas coolant,the device is able to reach ultra-fast cooling rates of up to 40,000 K·s^(−1).Four thermal regions are identified by examining the cooling behaviors of two metallic glasses.This is because the actual rate of the specimen can differ from the programmed rate,especially at high set rate when the actual rate decreases before the glass transition is completed.We define the operational window for reliable cooling curve analysis,build models with empirical and theoretical analyses to determine the maximum feasible cooling rate,and demonstrate how optimizing sample mass and environment temperature broaden this window.The method avoids deceptive structural relaxation effects verified by fictivetemperature analysis and permits the capture of full glass transition during cooling.

文摘Economical,stable,and corrosion-resistant catalytic electrodes are still urgently needed for the oxygen evolution reaction(OER)in water and seawater.Herein,a mild electroless plating strategy is used to achieve large-scale preparation of the“integrated”phosphorus-based precatalyst(FeP-NiP)on nickel foam(NF),which is in situ reconstructed into a highly active and corrosion-resistant(Fe)NiOOH phase for OER.The interaction between phosphate anions(PO_(x)^(y-))and iron ions(Fe^(3+))tunes the electronic structure of the catalytic phase to further enhance OER kinetics.The integrated FeP-NiP@NF electrode exhibits low overpotentials for OER in alkaline water/seawater,requiring only 275/289,320/336,and 349/358 mV to reach 0.1,0.5,and 1.0 A cm^(−2),respectively.The in situ reconstructed PO_(x)^(y-)anion electrostatically repels Cl−in seawater electrolytes,allowing stable operation for over 7 days at 1.0 A cm^(−2) in extreme electrolytes(1.0 M KOH+seawater and 6.0 M KOH+seawater),demonstrating industrial-level stability.This study overcomes the complex synthesis limitations of P-based materials through innovative material design,opening new avenues for electrochemical energy conversion.

文摘Green hydrogen from water splitting has emerged as a critical energy vector with the potential to spearhead the global transition to a fossil fuel-independent society.The field of catalysis has been revolutionized by single-atom catalysts(SACs),which exhibit unique and intricate interactions between atomically dispersed metal atoms and their supports.Recently,bimetallic SACs(bimSACs)have garnered significant attention for leveraging the synergistic functions of two metal ions coordinated on appropriately designed supports.BimSACs offer an avenue for rich metal–metal and metal–support cooperativity,potentially addressing current limitations of SACs in effectively furnishing transformations which involve synchronous proton–electron exchanges,substrate activation with reversible redox cycles,simultaneous multi-electron transfer,regulation of spin states,tuning of electronic properties,and cyclic transition states with low activation energies.This review aims to encapsulate the growing advancements in bimSACs,with an emphasis on their pivotal role in hydrogen generation via water splitting.We subsequently delve into advanced experimental methodologies for the elaborate characterization of SACs,elucidate their electronic properties,and discuss their local coordination environment.Overall,we present comprehensive discussion on the deployment of bimSACs in both hydrogen evolution reaction and oxygen evolution reaction,the two half-reactions of the water electrolysis process.

文摘Brazing filler metals are widely applied,which serve as an industrial adhesive in the joining of dissimilar structures.With the continuous emergence of new structures and materials,the demand for novel brazing filler metals is ever-increasing.It is of great significance to investigate the optimized composition design methods and to establish systematic design guidelines for brazing filler metals.This study elucidated the fundamental rules for the composition design of brazing filler metals from a three-dimensional perspective encompassing the basic properties of applied brazing filler metals,formability and processability,and overall cost.The basic properties of brazing filler metals refer to their mechanical properties,physicochemical properties,electromagnetic properties,corrosion resistance,and the wettability and fluidity during brazing.The formability and processability of brazing filler metals include the processes of smelting and casting,extrusion,rolling,drawing and ring-making,as well as the processes of granulation,powder production,and the molding of amorphous and microcrystalline structures.The cost of brazing filler metals corresponds to the sum of materials value and manufacturing cost.Improving the comprehensive properties of brazing filler metals requires a comprehensive and systematic consideration of design indicators.Highlighting the unique characteristics of brazing filler metals should focus on relevant technical indicators.Binary or ternary eutectic structures can effectively enhance the flow spreading ability of brazing filler metals,and solid solution structures contribute to the formability.By employing the proposed design guidelines,typical Ag based,Cu based,Zn based brazing filler metals,and Sn based solders were designed and successfully applied in major scientific and engineering projects.
