Article Abstract
Iridium-based oxides are the best commercial catalysts for the acidic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) because of their relatively excellent stability. However, their high price and low OER activity have greatly impeded their commercialization. Doping IrO with transition metals significantly enhances its activity; however, the instability of transition metals in OER kinetic processes can result in substantial metal dissolution and ion exchange. Herein, we report a metastable amorphous Fe:IrO OER catalyst, which provided excellent structural flexibility, enhancing the catalyst's performance in the OER with minimal Ir loading. Their constrained minimal interface structure ensures stability, as shown by the minimal dissolution of Fe ions after chronopotentiometry tests. In situ FTIR and DEMS analyses reveal that the catalyst utilizes an *O-*O radical coupling mechanism to generate O. These findings illustrate the important role of metastable amorphous IrO catalysts in establishing an optimal catalytic pathway for stable and excellent electrochemical properties.

Harnessing dried mycelium membranes for rapid and efficient lead cleanup in soils.

Bioremediation offers a sustainable strategy for mitigating heavy metal contamination in soil, but is often constrained by slow removal kinetics, limited uptake efficiency, and high implementation costs. This study investigates dried mycelium membranes, rich in surface-bound proteins and high surface area, as a promising biosorbent for in situ Pb(II) remediation in urban soils. Untreated mycelium membranes buried in soil achieved Pb(II) removal efficiencies of ∼70 % and ∼40 % at initial lead soil concentrations of 100 mg/kg and 1500 mg/kg, respectively, within eight days.

Wearable bioelectronics have advanced dramatically over the past decade, yet remain constrained by their superficial placement on the skin, which renders them vulnerable to environmental fluctuations and mechanical instability. Existing microneedle (MN) electrodes offer minimally invasive access to dermal tissue, but their rigid, bulky design-often 100 times larger and 10,000 times stiffer than dermal fibroblasts-induces pain, tissue damage, and chronic inflammation, limiting their long-term applicability. Here, a cell-stress-free percutaneous bioelectrode is presented, comprising an ultrathin (<2 µm), soft MN (sMN) that dynamically softens via an effervescent structural transformation after insertion.

The minimal basis iterative Stockholder (MBIS) decomposition of molecular electron densities into atomic contributions is extended from spherical to ellipsoidal atomic basins. Despite the more flexible parametrization, the derived atomic multipole moments do not systematically improve the reproduction of molecular multipole moments and electrostatic potentials relative to a decomposition into spherical atomic densities. The decomposition can be constrained to exactly reproduce molecular multipole moments, in the present work extended up to hexadecapole moments, and this slightly improves the ability to reproduce the electrostatic potential.

Institute for Global Health, University College London, London, UK.
Background: In a cluster-randomised trial in Uganda and Tanzania, we showed that integrated management, compared with standard vertical care, could achieve a high standard of care for diabetes and hypertension without adversely affecting outcomes for HIV. However, evidence on the value for money of integrated care is needed to inform policy.
Objective: Our economic evaluation aimed to establish the value for money of integrated care compared with vertical care for HIV, diabetes and hypertension.
Simultaneous in vivo detection of spectrally resolved glutamate, glutamine, and glutathione at 3 T with NAA-aspartyl editing and echo-time optimization.

Purpose: To achieve spectrally resolved in vivo detection of glutamate, glutamine, and glutathione at 3 T.
Methods: Difference editing of N-acetylaspartate CH protons (NAA-CH) combined with a new echo-time (TE) optimization approach is introduced. Difference editing was used to detect NAA-CH independently of NAA-CH, thereby eliminating systematic errors arising from constrained fitting of the entire NAA molecule.
