Although transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) monolayers are widely applied in electronics, optics, catalysis, and energy storage, their yield or output is commonly very low (<1 wt % or micrometer level) based on the well-known top-down (, exfoliation) and bottom-up (, chemical vapor deposition) approaches. Here, 1T MoS monolayers with a very high fraction of ∼90% were achieved the conversion of Mo-based MXenes (MoCT and MoCT) at high temperatures in hydrogen sulfide gas, in which the Mo-layer of Mo-based MXenes could be transformed to MoS monolayers and the Mo vacancies facilitate the gliding of sulfur layers to form 1T MoS. The resultant 1T MoS monolayers with numerous vacancies exhibit strong chemisorption and high catalytic activity for lithium polysulfides (LiPSs), delivering a reversible capacity of 736 mAh g at 0.5 C, a superior rate capability of 532 mAh g at 5 C, and a good stability up to 200 cycles at 1 C in lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries.

The challenge of photocatalytic hydrogen production has motivated a targeted search for MXenes as a promising class of materials for this transformation because of their high mobility and high light absorption. High-throughput screening has been widely used to discover new materials, but the relatively high cost limits the chemical space for searching MXenes. We developed a deep-learning-enabled high-throughput screening approach that identified 14 stable candidates with suitable band alignment for water splitting from 23 857 MXenes.

The unparalleled loss-less electrical current conduction of high-temperature superconducting (HTS) materials encourages research on YBaCuO (YBCO) to unravel opportunities toward numerous applications. Nonetheless, production costs and throughput of the commercialized HTS Coated Conductors (CCs) are still limiting a worldwide spread. Transient liquid assisted growth (TLAG) is a non-equilibrium process displaying ultrafast growth rate which, when combined with chemical solution deposition (CSD), is emerging as a strong candidate to reduce the cost/performance ratio of YBCO superconductors.

Robotic-assisted total joint arthroplasty (RA-TJA) is projected to account for 70% of all arthroplasties by 2030, yet its economic value and operational efficiency have yet to be thoroughly synthesized. While early literature emphasized technical precision, evolving payment models and implementation costs have shifted focus toward cost-effectiveness and workflow integration. To evaluate the economic and institutional viability of RA-TJA by synthesizing available evidence on capital costs, perioperative expenses, learning curves, throughput, and long-term adoption trends.

Human activities have introduced a wide range of contaminants into aquatic ecosystems, posing substantial ecological and health risks. Robust bioindicators are essential for accurately predicting these impacts. Since the early 1980s, planarians-freshwater flatworms known for their remarkable regenerative ability and neurologically relevant system-have been used in ecotoxicology, witnessing renewed scientific interest post-2010.
