Developing a functional separator is an important strategy to improve the electrochemical performance of the Zn anode by suppressing the Zn dendrite growth and parasitic side reactions, thus advancing the aqueous zinc-ion batteries. Herein, we experimentally realize functional separator with gradient-structure based on CeF nanoparticles functionalized glass fibers. The experimental and theoretical results confirmed that the functional separator can tailor the Zn flux and restrain SO transport, promoting dense Zn deposition. The strong interaction between CeF nanoparticles and HO separates Zn and HO at the electrolyte/Zn anode interface, suppressing side reactions. Consequently, the Zn||Zn with this separator achieves excellent cycling stability of 2500 h at 1 mA cm and 1 mAh cm and 1000 h at 5 mA cm and 5 mAh cm. This design of a functionalized separator provides a distinctive solution for the development of aqueous zinc-ion 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.

Beech leaf disease (BLD) poses a serious threat to the health of beech forests throughout the northeastern USA and Canada. Caused by invasive nematodes, BLD first appeared in 2012 in Ohio and has rapidly spread eastward. We investigated the effects of BLD on leaf and litter chemistry and leaf litter decomposition rate from four infected beech stands in Falmouth, Massachusetts.

Postdiction is a perceptual phenomenon where the perception of an earlier stimulus is influenced by a later one. This effect is commonly studied using the 'rabbit illusion', in which temporally regular, but spatially irregular, stimuli are perceived as equidistant. While previous research has focused on short inter-stimulus intervals (100-200 ms), the role of longer intervals, which may engage late attentional processes, remains unexplored.

Plasmids are fundamental to molecular biology and biotechnology, playing a crucial role in bacterial evolution. Some plasmids are linked to complex cellular dynamics, including pathogenicity islands, antibiotic resistance, and gene mobilization. This study reports the isolation and sequencing of two cryptic plasmids with different electrophoretic mobilities from the Escherichia coli clinical isolate O55.

Separation of ethanol-water azeotrope is extremely challenging. Here, we design and synthesize a new sulfate-pillared metal triazolate framework, which shows sieving-like separation of water/ethanol. A dynamic breakthrough verified the ultrahigh selectivity (145), and it could produce a record-breaking ethanol productivity (3.
