Article Abstract
Heat barrier, the unrestricted increase in airplane or rocket speeds caused by aerodynamic heating, which-without adequate provisions for cooling the exposed surfaces-can lead to the loss of a hypersonic vehicle's reusability, maneuverability, and cost-effectiveness. To date, indirect thermal protection methods, such as regenerative cooling, film cooling, and transpiration cooling, have proven to be complex and inefficient. Here, we propose a direct liquid cooling system to mitigate the heat barrier, utilizing a blunt-sharp structured thermal armor (STA)-a recently proposed material [36] to elevate the Leidenfrost point. The fiber-metal nano-/micro-STA withstands rigorous simulated hypersonic aerodynamic heating using butane and acetylene flames, ensuring effective temperature management in scenarios where flame temperatures reach up to 3000 °C-far exceeding the melting point of the STA substrate. Systematic cycling and durability tests further confirm the STA's exceptional tolerance and robustness under extreme conditions. This work offers an efficient thermal protection method for hypersonic vehicles.

Heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) represents a critical barrier to effective mild-temperature photothermal therapy (MPTT), limiting its clinical utility in aggressive cancers like triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). While small interfering RNA (siRNA)-mediated HSP70 suppression offers a promising solution, optimal timing for this therapeutic combination remains unexplored. Here, it is demonstrated that precisely timed administration significantly enhances MPTT efficacy through systematic temporal characterization of HSP70 expression dynamics.

Guar gum (GG), a natural galactomannan polysaccharide derived from Cyamopsis tetragonoloba, is gaining popularity as a biodegradable and environmentally friendly packaging material. With the growing demand for sustainable food packaging, stricter regulations prioritize cost efficiency, consumer safety, and environmental impact. It exhibits strong potential for use in packaging films and coatings, offering barrier properties that slow down fruit ripening and reduce post-harvest quality loss.

Epidemiological studies in humans have suggested that tomato consumption and the compositional ratios of Prevotella, Megamonas, and Streptococcus in the intestinal microbiota are related to intestinal permeability. In this study, we investigated the causal relationship using Caenorhabditis (C.) elegans.

Background: Bruceine A (BA), a natural quassinoid compound derived from the fruit of Brucea javanica, has demonstrated diverse pharmacological activities. However, the treatment effectiveness of BA against ulcerative colitis (UC) and its underlying mechanisms of action are yet to be fully elucidated.
Purpose: To explore the effects of BA against UC and uncover its underlying mechanisms, with a particular focus on its influence on inhibiting macrophage M1 polarization via the IL-17/NF-κB pathway.

The activation energy (E) is the minimum energy necessary for (bio)chemical reactions acting as an energy barrier and defining reaction rates, for example, organic matter transformations in soil. Based on the E database of (i) oxidative and hydrolytic enzyme activities, (ii) organic matter mineralization and CO production, (iii) heat release during soil incubation, as well as (iv) thermal oxidation of soil organic matter (SOM), we assess the E of SOM transformation processes. After a short description of the four approaches to assess these E values-all based on the Arrhenius equation-we present the E of chemical oxidation (79 kJ mol, based on thermal oxidation), microbial mineralization (67 kJ mol, CO production), microbial decomposition (40 kJ mol, heat release), and enzyme-catalyzed hydrolysis of polymers and cleavage of mineral ions of nutrients (33 kJ mol, enzyme driven reactions) from SOM.
