In this Letter, we report the dark matter search results from the commissioning run (Run0) and the first science run (Run1) of the PandaX-4T experiment. The two datasets were processed with a unified procedure, with the Run1 data treated blindly. The data processing is improved compared to previous work, unifying the low-level signal reconstruction in a wide energy range up to 120 keV. With a total exposure of 1.54 tonne·year, no significant excess of nuclear recoil events is found. The lowest 90% confidence level exclusion on the spin-independent cross section is 1.6×10^{-47} cm^{2} at a dark matter mass of 40 GeV/c^{2}. Our results represent the most stringent constraint for a dark matter mass above 100 GeV/c^{2}.

Antimony trisulfide (SbS) has emerged as a promising inorganic semiconductor for optoelectronics due to its distinctive anisotropic crystal structure and suitable bandgap (∼1.7 eV). While hydrothermal synthesis remains challenging for achieving high crystallinity and controlled morphology, we developed an innovative dual‑sulfur precursor strategy utilizing sodium thiosulfate (STS) and thioacetamide (TAA) at a 7:2 M ratio with SbCl.

Zero and ultralow-field nuclear magnetic resonance (ZULF NMR) is an NMR modality where experiments are performed in fields at which spin-spin interactions within molecules and materials are stronger than Zeeman interactions. This typically occurs at external fields of microtesla strength or below, considerably smaller than Earth's field. In ZULF NMR, the measurement of spin-spin couplings and spin relaxation rates provides a nondestructive means for identifying chemicals and chemical fragments, and for conducting sample or process analyses.

Recent advances in sequencing technology have enabled the recovery of near-complete microbial genomes directly from metagenomic samples, also known as metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs). However, accurately characterizing these genomes remains a significant challenge due to the presence of sequencing errors, incomplete assembly, and contamination.

Microbial communities drive essential global processes, yet much of their functional potential remains unexplored. Metagenomics stands to elucidate this microbial "dark matter" by directly sequencing the microbial community DNA from environmental samples. However, the exploration of metagenomic sequences is mostly limited to establishing their similarity to curated reference sequences.
