This study presents a multilayer magnetic Janus sub-micrometric particle (MMJSP) as a nanoreactor for lipase catalysis. The core of the nanoparticle is constructed from a core-shell FeO@SiO framework, which serves as a precursor for the sequential amino and aldehyde modifications using 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane and benzaldehyde. Following localized etching and subsequent modification with N,N-dimethyldodecylamine, a Janus nanoparticle with distinct hydrophilic and hydrophobic domains is synthesized. The resulting MMJSP demonstrates a stable attachment to the reaction interface and significantly enhances lipase performance, exhibiting 1.4-fold and 1.6-fold enhancements in activity after immobilization during 1 h hydrolysis and 24 h esterification reactions, respectively. Additionally, the storage stability of the immobilized lipase is improved by 100% over a period of 30 days. Reusability assessments reveal that the immobilized enzyme retains 80.7% activity after 10 cycles of esterification and 80.6% after 50 cycles of hydrolysis, with the magnetic properties allowing for rapid separation and recovery of the immobilized enzyme.

Due to its sizable direct bandgap and strong light-matter interactions, the preparation of monolayer MoS has attracted significant attention and intensive research efforts. However, multilayer MoS is largely overlooked because of its optically inactive indirect bandgap caused by interlayer coupling. It is highly desirable to modulate and decrease the interlayer coupling so that each layer in multilayer MoS can exhibit a monolayer-like direct-gap behavior.

Rapid strides in portable electronics and telecommunication technologies have sharply escalated the demand for high-performance electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials that effectively suppress secondary electromagnetic pollution while simultaneously integrating thermal management. Here an innovative, lightweight, hierarchical triple-layer aerogel structure comprising nickel (Ni) foam (NiF), titanium carbonitride (TiCNT) MXene, and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), fabricated via a facile, one-step bidirectional freeze-casting process is presented. This asymmetric aerogel architecture strategically employs an impedance-matching MXene/PVA top layer for optimized microwave entry, a NiF/MXene/PVA interlayer introducing magnetic loss and enhancing heat conduction, and a reflective, thermally foamed MXene bottom layer promoting internal reflection for superior energy absorption.

Functional magnetic multilayers are particularly interesting for enabling many emerging spintronic physics, including spin-orbit torque (SOT), magnetic proximity effect (MPE), and perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA), among many others. A comprehension of these spintronic phenomena is vital for the development of advanced spintronic materials and devices. Here, we investigate the interplay between the MPE and the current-induced SOT switching in the perpendicularly magnetized Pt/[Co/Pd] multilayers (with being the number of repetitions).

The ever-increasing global demand for low-carbon energy underscores the urgency of water energy harvesting. Despite intensive progress, achieving continuous and efficient water energy harvesting-particularly from abundant, distributed, and low-frequency water flows such as rain, streams, and rivers-remains a critical challenge. Herein, inspired by the classical waterwheel that spatially decouples the gravitational force of flowing water into orthogonal directions for continuous rotation, we report a hybrid, rotatable flowing water-based energy generator (R-FEG) capable of continuous and efficient water energy harvesting at both low and high frequencies.

Background: Osteoporotic vertebral fractures (OVFs) are common in older adults and often lead to disability if not properly diagnosed and classified. With the increased use of computed tomography (CT) imaging and the development of radiomics and deep learning technologies, there is potential to improve the classification accuracy of OVFs.
Objective: This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of a deep learning radiomics model, derived from CT imaging, in accurately classifying OVFs.
