The theoretical inv...A single particle magneto-confined in a one-dimensional (1D) quantum wire experiences a harmonic potential, and imposing a sharply focused laser beam on an appropriate site shapes a δ potential. The theoretical investigation has demonstrated that for a sufficiently strong δ pulse the quantum motional stationary state of the particle is one of the eigenstates of the free harmonic oscillator, and it is determined by the site of the laser beam uniquely, namely a quantum state is admissible if and only if the laser site is one of its nodes. The numerical computation shows that all the nodes of the lower energy states with quantum numbers n ≤ 20, except the coordinate origin, are mutually different. So we can manipulate the multiphoton transitions between the quantum states by adjusting the position of the laser δ pulse and realize the transition from an unknown higher excitation state to a required lower energy state.展开更多

摘要Ferroptosis can serve as a potent strategy for regulating cell death via lipid peroxidation and the imbalance of the antioxidant system resulting from iron accumulation in triple-negative breast cancer(TNBC)therapy.However,the ferroptosis accompanied with down-regulation of glutathione peroxidase 4(GPX4)lead to CD36-mediated tumor-infiltrating CD8+T cells uptaking fatty acids,resulting in the negative action on immunotherapeutic efficacy.Herein,the albumin nanoparticles,abbreviated as LHS NPs,were designed by co-assembly of hemin,linoleic acid-cystamine,and a CD36 inhibitor sulfosuccinimide oleate,to bi-directionally manipulated ferroptosis in tumor and CD8+T cells for TNBC therapy.LHS NPs exerted more efficient reactive oxygen species generation,glutathione depletion and malondialdehyde production by the combinatory strategy of classical and non-classical ferroptosis modes,which amplified the positive action on ferroptosis in tumor cells.Meanwhile,LHS manipulated the negative action of ferroptosis by inhibiting the CD36 mediated-lipid peroxidation in CD8+T cells,thereby activating the immunotherapeutic efficacy with the improvements on induction of immunogenic cell death,proliferation of CD4+CD8+T cells and natural killer cells,alleviation immunosuppressive regulatory T cells and myeloid-derived suppressor cells,and repolarization of the M2-to M1-phenotype tumor-associated macrophages.Thus,LHS NPs demonstrated an improved antitumor efficacy in suppressing the tumor growth and lungmetastasis of 4T1-tumormice.Our work gives novel insights for the bi-directionally manipulating ferroptosis in tumor and CD8+T cells on TNBC chemoimmunotherapy.

摘要Oomycete secretes a range of RxLR effectors into host cells to manipulate plant immunity by targeting proteins from several organelles.In this study,we report that chloroplast protein StFC-Ⅱis hijacked by a pathogen effector to enhance susceptibility.Phytophthora infestans RxLR effector Pi22922 is activated during the early stages of P.infestans colonization.Stable overexpression of Pi22922 in plants suppresses flg22-triggered reactive oxygen species(ROS)burst and enhances leaf colonization by P.infestans.A potato ferrochelatase 2(FC-Ⅱ,a nuclear-encoded chloroplast-targeted protein),a key enzyme for heme biosynthesis in chloroplast,was identified as a target of Pi22922 in the cytoplasm.The pathogenicity of Pi22922 in plants is partially dependent on FC-Ⅱ.Overexpression of StFC-Ⅱdecreases resistance of potato and Nicotiana benthamiana against P.infestans,and silencing of NbFC-Ⅱin N.benthamiana reduces P.infestans colonization.Overexpression of StFC-Ⅱincreases heme content and reduces chlorophyll content and photosynthetic efficiency in potato leaves.Moreover,ROS accumulation both in chloroplast and cytoplasm is attenuated and defense-related genes are down-regulated in StFC-Ⅱoverexpression transgenic potato and N.benthamiana leaves.Pi22922 inhibits E3 ubiquitin ligase StCHIP-mediated StFC-Ⅱdegradation in the cytoplasm and promotes its accumulation in chloroplasts.In summary,this study characterizes a new mechanism that an oomycete RxLR effector suppresses host defenses by promoting StFC-Ⅱaccumulation in chloroplasts,thereby compromising the host immunity and promoting susceptibility.

摘要The kagome ferrimagnet TbMn6Sn6,featuring a pristine Mn kagome lattice,has emerged as a candidate Chern magnet with a large intrinsic anomalous Hall effect(AHE).While chemical substitution can modulate its properties,hydrostatic pressure provides a disorder-free route to manipulate electronic and magnetic interactions.Herein,we investigate the effects of hydrostatic pressure on electrical and magneto-transport in TbMn6Sn6 up to 18.3 GPa.Pressure significantly enhances hysteresis in the magnetoresistance and Hall responses,causing a concurrent monotonic coercive field increase,suggesting the enhancement of interlayer magnetic couplings in a robust c-axis ferrimagnetic order.The intrinsic anomalous Hall conductivity increases considerably from 129.5 S·cm−1 at ambient pressure conditions to 448.7 S·cm−1 at 14.0 GPa—an enhancement of 247%that is unprecedented among pressure-tuned kagome magnets.Based on density functional theory calculations,we reveal that pressure induces multiple gap openings near the Fermi level,giving rise to pronounced Berry curvature hotspots that may contribute to the AHE.Our results show that pressure can be used to enhance the intrinsic topological responses of this kagome magnet.

摘要Smart windows that can repel diverse liquids are highly attractive for the development of self-cleaning building system.Despite immense achievements having been made in drophobic smart windows,unfortunately,the limitations of inferior transparency,unsatisfactory flexibility,and scarce functionality greatly hinder their practical applications.Here,a multifunctional,all-flexible and slef-cleaning electrothermal-actuated(SETA)module with superior transparency is developed by sandwiching the hydrophobic SiO2 nanoparticles decorated silver nanowires thin-film heater and the thermo-responsive hydrogel.Through loading/discharging an electric stimulus of 5 V,the optical visibility of SETA could be in situ switched between an opaque state(T550=11.0%)and a transparent state(T550=84.9%)relying on the dynamically collapsed and swollen transition of hydrogel on planar and three-dimensional curved surfaces.Moreover,SETA chipset is able to repel diverse liquids,including organic and inorganic species,showcasing an excellent self-cleaning capability.Lastly,all-in-one multifunctionalities,including pixelated display,thermal regulation,defogging,and self-cleaning on a single SETA chipset,are successfully deployed.Compared to the previous windows,the current SETA chipset is more competent for optical switching in reality,owing to its portable,energy-efficient,flexible,highly-transparent,and on-demand manipulating advantages.This work provides inspirations for self-cleaning greenhouse,tunable optics,intelligent vehicles,and so on.

摘要This work demonstrates a radicalmanipulation strategy for synthesizing graphene(Gr)-skinned SiO2 fabric via low-pressure chemical vapor deposition using methanol precursor.Controlled pyrolysis at high temperature regulated C1/C2/C6 radical ratios,enabling microstructure engineering.Substrate effects governed bilayer evolution.SiO2 imposed lower adsorption energy of C1 and higher diffusion barriers of radical compared to Gr,promoting edge defects in subsurface G1-type Gr layers,whereas reduced substrate constraints facilitated low-defect G2-type Gr growth on top of G1-type Gr.Synergistic control of gas-phase kinetics and substrate dynamics enabled fine-tunable sheet resistance(26-150Ωsq−1),establishing Grskinned fibers as multifunctional platforms for integrated electromagnetic-thermal management systems.When addressing the needs of electromagnetic communication and electrothermal deicing,laser-etched band-pass frequency selective surface structures of Gr-skinned fabric were fabricated to achieve electromagnetic wave(EMW)transmittance while maintaining Joule heating capability.A sandwich structure was prepared by laminating the Gr-skinned fabric with EMW transparent sheets exhibiting voltage-dependent transmittance,simultaneously sustaining broadband transmission and effective heating.This work demonstrates a strategy to mitigate the longstanding conductivity-EMW transparency trade-off in Gr-functionalized fibers through a multiscale engineering that coordinates microscopic structural regulation with macroscopic patterning,thereby unlocking next-generation smart composites for 5G/6G wearables,aerospace radomes,and beyond.

摘要Being renewable and readily available,solar energy has gained significant attention in addressing the global energy crisis and climate change.The efficiency of solar-energy harvesting using a concentrator depends on the angle between the incident sunlight and the solar concentrator.Therefore,a solar-energy collection system equipped with a solar tracker that follows the apparent motion of the sun offers the highest collection efficiency.In this study,a novel solar tracker with a parallel mechanism is proposed based on the line graph method.The proposed parallel solar tracker(PST) features a main column with passive movements and two UPU chains that share a common constraint.This design enhances the rotational workspace,stiffness,and load-bearing capacity of the system.To solve the forward kinematics problem of the PST efficiently and accurately,a geometric elimination method is employed,converting the three-dimensional kinematics into a simpler planar problem.This allows the forward kinematics problem to be solved analytically using planar equations.By considering key performance indices,such as the effective workspace,transmission,and manipulability,the structural parameters of the PST are optimized in two steps,thereby identifying the optimal region in the design space.Finally,the computational efficiency and accuracy of both the forward and inverse kinematic solutions for the PST with optimized structural parameters are validated,demonstrating their potential for use in real-time control systems.The proposed novel solar tracker has high stiffness and load-bearing capacity.The study provides a solid foundation for improving the efficiency of solar energy utilization.

摘要The ever-increasing consumption of fossil fuels has led to environmental crises,which accelerated the quest for sustainable hydrogen energy.Among various production routes,water electrolysis stands out as a promising approach.However,the efficiency of hydrogen evolution reaction is limited by the adhesion of gas bubbles on electrode surfaces,which blocks active sites,increases overpotential,and limits mass transfer.This review highlights the design of microanostructured array electrodes to achieve underwater superaerophobicity,reducing bubble adhesion,facilitating the nucleation and rapid release of ultrasmall bubbles,thereby contributing to reduce in overpotential,faster bubble growth,enhanced mass transport,and improved catalyst stability.We summarize recent advances in fabrication strategies of such electrodes,focusing on microanostructural designs,covering from 0 to 3-dimensional structures.Additionally,the role of hydrophilic gels in optimizing superaerophobicity is discussed.Finally,challenges and future directions are addressed,including bubble dynamics accurate modeling,development of high activity and stability catalysts,intelligent adaptive electrode structure and active bubble regulation,and the integration of artificial intelligence and deep learning for guided electrode design.This review aims to provide a comprehensive perspective on how superaerophobic electrode design address bottlenecks in gas-evolving electrodes,paving the way toward more efficient and economical hydrogen production.

摘要Control of bubble motion is essential for improving efficiency and creating new functionalities in electrochemistry,heat transfer,and biomedical systems.Photoresponsive surfactants enable bubble manipulation by creating surface-tension gradients,inducing a“photo-Marangoni”flow under illumination,without the need for engineered substrates,by leveraging a reversible switch in molecular conformation.Although previous studies have demonstrated bubblemanipulation using photo-responsive surfactants,a comprehensive understanding of how fluid behavior is affected by critical parameters,such as bubble size,illumination,photo-switching kinetics,concentration,and adsorption/desorption kinetics,remains elusive.Advances have been limited by the complex multiphysics processes involved,and by the fact that earth-bound experiments couple bubble photo-Marangoni dynamics with interference from buoyancy and photo-thermal convection.We elucidate the factors enabling fast photo-Marangonidriven bubble motion,by performing microgravity experiments,enabled by a bespoke photo-surfactant,complemented by a detailed modeling framework.We identify an optimal bubble size for migration(radius∼1 mm),since smaller and larger bubbles incur weaker photo-Marangoni stresses and larger drag,respectively.Surfactants that switch rapidly under illumination drive fastmigration,provided their reverse switch(in darkness)is 10-100×slower.These foundational results enable the synthesis of nextgeneration photo-surfactants and photo-Marangoni manipulation across multiphase fluid systems.
