Lithium ruthenium oxide (LiRuO) is an archetypal lithium rich cathode material (LRCM) with both cation and anion redox reactions (ARRs). Commonly, the instability of oxygen redox activities has been regarded as the root cause of its performance degradation in long-term operation. However, we find that not triggering ARRs does not improve and even worsens its cyclability due to the detrimental strain accumulation induced by Ru redox activities. To solve this problem, we demonstrate that F-doping in LiRuO can alter its preferential orientation and buffer interlayer repulsion upon Ru redox, both of which can mitigate the strain accumulation along the -axis and improve its structural stability. This work highlights the importance of optimizing cation redox reactions in LRCMs and provides a new perspective for their rational design.

Background: The river ecosystems provide habitats and source of water for a number of species including humans. The uncontrolled accumulation of pollutants in the aquatic environment enhances the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and genes.
Methods: Water samples were collected seasonally from different sites of Gomti and Ganga River.

Unlabelled: Oropouche fever is a debilitating disease caused by Oropouche virus (OROV), an arthropod-borne member of the Peribunyaviridae family. Despite its public health significance, the molecular mechanisms driving OROV pathogenesis remain poorly understood. In other bunyaviruses, the nonstructural NSs protein encoded by the small (S) genome segment acts as a major virulence factor.

A crack-free and residue-free transfer technique for large-area, atomically-thin 2D transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) such as MoS and WS is critical for their integration into next-generation electronic devices, either as channel materials replacing silicon or as back-end-of-line (BEOL) components in 3D-integrated nano-systems on CMOS platforms. However, cracks are frequently observed during the debonding of TMDCs from their growth substrates, and polymer or metal residues are often left behind after the removal of adhesive support layers wet etching. These issues stem from excessive angular strain accumulated during debonding and the incomplete removal of support layers due to their low solubility.

Locoism refers to a neurological disorder in livestock caused by chronic ingestion of locoweeds, which contain toxic alkaloid swainsonine produced by the fungus . Therefore, reducing swainsonine levels not only prevents locoism but may also transform these toxic plants into animal feed. In this study, we identified a pivotal role for the gene in swainsonine biosynthesis.

Organochlorine pesticides (OCPs), including hexachlorobenzene (HCB) and pentachloronitrobenzene (PCNB), are highly toxic and persistent pollutants that pose significant ecological and human health risks. Their chemical stability makes them particularly resistant to biodegradation. In this study, we isolated and characterized Cupriavidus nantongensis HB4B5, a novel aerobic bacterium capable of efficiently degrading HCB and PCNB, without the accumulation of toxic intermediates.
