BackgroundWith the urgent demand to increase the gravimetric energy density of sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) for practical applications, O3-type layered transition metal oxides have emerged as promising cathode materials due to their high capacity. In particular, raising the cut-off voltage of these cathodes to 4.2 V versus Na/Na⁺ has the potential to achieve energy densities comparable to comme...

​Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia, excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS), and accumulation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs). These pathological factors often lead to persistent inflammation, recurrent infections, and delayed tissue regeneration during wound healing. Titanium (Ti) alloys are widely used in hard tissue repair due to thei...

​High strength and large tensile ductility (indicating high static toughness, i.e., the area under the stress-strain curve) are critical prerequisites for the engineering applications of metallic structural materials, especially for those used in low-temperature environments. The strength-ductility-toughness matching of materials is particularly important to avoid catastrophic accidents caused...

​BackgroundWith the increasing attention of researchers on organic electrode materials due to their ability to break free from dependence on transition metal elements, Perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic dianhydride (PTCDA) has attracted attention because of its molecular structure consisting of perylene and peripheral oxygen-rich atoms, offering high electronic conductivity. However, like most ...

The efficient storage and release of elastic mechanical energy are crucial in both natural and engineered mechanical systems, such as biological tissues for the fast locomotion as well as high-performance microelectromechanical actuators. Emerging applications, including artificial muscles, hopping robots, and unmanned aerial vehicle catapults, require elastic materials with enhanced energy den...

The controllable nuclear fusion, often described as "artificial sun," is a crucial frontier technology for achieving low-carbon emission in China. Tungsten (W), as a promising plasma-facing material for fusion reactors, exhibits outstanding properties, such as high melting point, high thermal conductivity, excellent sputtering erosion. However, the susceptibility to brittleness below a critical...
