Geotechnical geological disasters occur frequently in China. Especially under complex environmental conditions, the failure mode of rock and the change mechanism of its mechanical properties are not clear. Although some progress has been made in recent studies on the physical and chemical properties...

Summary: Ferroptosis, an iron-dependent form of regulated cell death driven by lipid peroxide accumulation, induces lethal oxidative damage and disrupts cell membrane integrity. Its role in malignant tumors, such as esophageal carcinoma (EC), is increasingly recognized, offering a promising therapeu...

In optical communication systems, optical half-band filters are essential for efficient spectral separation, necessitating stringent performance criteria such as a wide spectral range, low insertion loss, and minimal crosstalk. This paper proposes a broadband optical half-band filter based on a casc...

The integration of two-dimensional (2D) materials into heterostructures provides an effective approach to designing advanced electronic devices by synergistically combining the advantages of constituent monolayers. In this study, we employ density functional theory (DFT) to systematically evaluate t...

The mechanistic target of the Rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) signaling pathway plays a pivotal role in regulating crucial life processes, including cell growth and proliferation, by sensing and integrating various signals, such as growth factors, energy status, and amino acids. Our previous studies sh...

Magnetic cooling technology, based on the magnetocaloric effect (MCE), offers an energy-efficient and eco-friendly alternative to conventional gas compression, but is often hindered by large magnetic hysteresis, which limits cyclic performance. In this study, we show that the hysteresis of La0.7Ce0....

Exohiss are broadband, structureless whistler-mode waves outside the plasmapause. In our work, using the data sets detected by the EMFISIS suite aboard Van Allen Probe A, from 1st January 2013 to 30th June 2017, the exohiss waves are categorized among two types based on the direction of Poynting flu...
