Roadmap on multivalent batteries
(2024)Journal of Physics: EnergyBattery technologies based in multivalent charge carriers with ideally two or three electrons transferred per ion exchanged between the electrodes have large promises in raw performance numbers, most often expressed as high energy density, and are also ideally based on raw materials that are widely abundant and less expensive. Yet, these are still globally in their infancy, with some concepts (e.g. Mg metal) being more technologically ...Review Article -
Recent Advances in Fluorescent Polymers with Color-Tunable Aggregate Emission
(2024)Chemistry of MaterialsThe modulation of fluorescence properties of light-emitting molecules, especially in solid or aggregate states, is crucial for their practical applications. Polymeric systems offer flexible structural design and solution-processing abilities, affording versatile platforms for achieving color-tunable aggregate fluorescence, especially for those with well-defined structures obtained by controlled polymerization. Meanwhile, the emergence of ...Review Article -
Characteristics and changes of glacial lakes and outburst floods
(2024)Nature Reviews Earth & EnvironmentGlobal glacier mass loss has accelerated, producing more and larger glacial lakes. Many of these glacial lakes are a source of glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs), which pose threats to people and infrastructure. In this Review, we synthesize global changes in glacial lakes and GLOFs. More than 110,000 glacial lakes currently exist, covering a total area of ~15,000 km2, having increased in area by ~22% dec–1 from 1990 to 2020. More than ...Review Article -
Multimodal optoacoustic imaging: methods and contrast materials
(2024)Chemical Society ReviewsOptoacoustic (OA) imaging offers powerful capabilities for interrogating biological tissues with rich optical absorption contrast while maintaining high spatial resolution for deep tissue observations. The spectrally distinct absorption of visible and near-infrared photons by endogenous tissue chromophores facilitates extraction of diverse anatomic, functional, molecular, and metabolic information from living tissues across various scales, ...Review Article -
Should Transformation Products Change the Way We Manage Chemicals?
(2024)Environmental Science & TechnologyWhen chemical pollutants enter the environment, they can undergo diverse transformation processes, forming a wide range of transformation products (TPs), some of them benign and others more harmful than their precursors. To date, the majority of TPs remain largely unrecognized and unregulated, particularly as TPs are generally not part of routine chemical risk or hazard assessment. Since many TPs formed from oxidative processes are more ...Review Article -
The Ascyrus Medical Dissection Stent: A One-Fits-All Strategy for the Treatment of Acute Type A Aortic Dissection?
(2024)Journal of Clinical MedicineThe treatment of DeBakey type I aortic dissection remains a major challenge in the field of aortic surgery. To upgrade the standard of care hemiarch replacement, a novel device called an “Ascyrus Medical Dissection Stent” (AMDS) is now available. This hybrid device composed of a proximal polytetrafluoroethylene cuff and a distal non-covered nitinol stent is inserted into the aortic arch and the descending thoracic aorta during hypothermic ...Review Article -
Myopia Control: Are We Ready for an Evidence Based Approach?
(2024)OPHTHALMOLOGY AND THERAPYIntroduction Myopia and its vision-threatening complications present a significant public health problem. This review aims to provide an updated overview of the multitude of known and emerging interventions to control myopia, including their potential effect, safety, and costs.Methods A systematic literature search of three databases was conducted. Interventions were grouped into four categories: environmental/behavioral (outdoor time, ...Review Article -
Out-of-equilibrium dynamics of quantum many-body systems with long-range interactions
(2024)Physics ReportsExperimental progress in atomic, molecular, and optical platforms in the last decade has stimulated strong and broad interest in the quantum coherent dynamics of many long-range interacting particles. The prominent collective character of these systems enables novel non-equilibrium phenomena with no counterpart in conventional quantum systems with local interactions. Much of the theory work in this area either focussed on the impact of ...Review Article -
A survey on underwater coral image segmentation based on deep learning
(2024)Geo-Spatial Information ScienceImage-based coral reef survey technologies have revolutionized the monitoring of coral reefs by offering a cost-effective and noninvasive method for collecting data across large spatial scales and extended periods. Among these technologies, underwater videography has emerged as a well-established and reliable tool for remote sensing in coral research. Automatic segmentation of coral images represents a forward-looking and fundamental ...Review Article -
Unveiling the chemical complexity of food-risk components: A comprehensive data resource guide in 2024
(2024)Trends in Food Science & TechnologyBackground: With the influence of climate change, environmental pollution, global industrialization, and new agricultural practices, increasing amounts of chemical substances with potential risks—both anthropogenic and biogenic—enter the food supply chain, entailing new challenges to food safety and security. Although some food-risk components (FRCs) have been accessed and regulated, the toxicity and exposure level of the numerous components ...Review Article
