Using synchrotron surface X-ray diffraction, we investigated the atomic structures of the interfaces of a solid electrolyte (LiPO) and electrode (LiCoO). We prepared two types of interfaces with high and low interface resistances; the low-resistance interface exhibited a flat and well-ordered atomic arrangement at the electrode surface, whereas the high-resistance interface showed a disordered interface. These results indicate that the crystallinity of LiCoO at the interface has a significant impact on interface resistance. Furthermore, we reveal that the migration of Li ions along the interface and into grain boundaries and antiphase domain boundaries is a critical factor reducing interface resistance.

The estrogen receptor (ER or ERα) remains the primary therapeutic target for luminal breast cancer, with current treatments centered on competitive antagonists, receptor down-regulators, and aromatase inhibitors. Despite these options, resistance frequently emerges, highlighting the need for alternative targeting strategies. We discovered a novel mechanism of ER inhibition that targets the previously unexplored interface between the DNA-binding domain (DBD) and ligand-binding domain (LBD) of the receptor.

Soft wearable sensors offer promising potential for advanced diagnostics, therapeutics, and human-machine interfaces. Unlike conventional devices that are bulky and rigid, often compromising skin integrity, comfort, and user compliance, soft wearable sensors are flexible, conformable, and better suited to the dynamic skin surface. This improved mechanical integration enhances signal fidelity and device performance, while also enabling safer, more comfortable, and continuous physiological monitoring in real-world environments.

The potential of hafnia-based ferroelectric materials for Ferroelectric Random Access Memory (FeRAM) applications is limited by the imprint effect, which compromises readout reliability. Here, we systematically investigate the asymmetric imprint behavior in W/HfZrO/W ferroelectric capacitors, demonstrating that the imprint direction correlates directly with the ferroelectric polarization state. Notably, a pre-pulse of specific polarity can temporarily suppress the imprint effect.

Nucleic acid aptamers are artificial recognition elements with great potential in biotechnology. For their effective integration into nanodevices, rational strategies for optimizing aptamer affinity and regulating activity are essential. Artificial nucleotide analogs offer versatile tools for both fundamental and applied research in the aptamer field.

Electrochemical CO capture (eCC) excels in selectivity, reversibility, low-temperature operation, and reusability, yet liquid-phase systems struggle with mass transfer limitations. In this study, a phenazine-based capture agent was chemically grafted onto carboxylated carbon nanotubes, achieving an active loading of 4.4 wt %.
