The application of electrochemical methods on the recycling of valuable metals from spent lithium-ion batteries, and the removing of pollutant from wastewater by persulfate have attracted widespread attention in recent years. However, high energy consumption resulting from side electrochemical reactions constrains its application. Herein, a paired ...

Chronic liver injury, as observed in non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), progressive fibrosis, and cirrhosis, remains poorly treatable. Steatohepatitis causes hepatocyte loss in part by a direct lipotoxic insult, which is amplified by derangements in the non-parenchymal cellular (NPC) interactive network wherein hepatocytes reside, including, hep...
Semiconductor nanomaterials are often proposed as photocatalysts for wastewater treatment; silica nanomaterials are still largely unexploited because their photocatalytic performances need improvements, especially under visible light. The present study is a proof-of-concept that amorphous silica colloids once submitted to the proper surface modific...

To benchmark single cell bioinformatics tools, data simulators can provide a robust ground truth. Here the authors present dyngen, a multi-modal simulator, and apply it to aligning cell developmental trajectories, cell-specific regulatory network inference and estimation of RNA velocity.
Regulatory T cells (Tregs) are indispensable for the control of immune homeostasis and have clinical potential as a cell therapy for treating autoimmunity. Tregs can lose expression of the lineage-defining Foxp3 transcription factor and acquire effector T cell (Teff) characteristics, a process referred to as Treg plasticity. The extent and reversib...
The development of efficient strategies to recycle lithium-ion battery (LIB) electrode materials is an important yet challenging goal for the sustainable management of battery waste. This work reports a facile and economically efficient method to convert spent cathode material, LiFePO4, into a high-performance NiFe oxy/hydroxide catalyst for the ox...

A method for forming electromagnetic waves with a tunable nonzero orbital angular momentum (OAM) is proposed. The approach is based on transforming an incident plane wave into a helical one using an electrically tunable ferroelectric lens. It uses high-resistive thin/thick film electrodes with a special discrete topology. The correlation between fi...
Renewable Energy Sources (RES) have drawn significant attention in the past years to make the transition towards low carbon emissions. On the one hand, the intermittent nature of RES, resulting in variable power generation, hinders their high-level penetration in the power system. On the other hand, RES can aid not only to supply much more eco-frie...
