Assessment of 4D Magnetic Printing Capability of UV Composite Resin Containing Recycled Nd–Fe–B Nanocrystalline Particles

This study demonstrates that recycled Nd–Fe–B nanocrystalline particles, despite exhibiting lower spatial resolution than commercial powders due to larger particle sizes, are viable for 4D magnetic printing and can effectively enable the fabrication of magnetically actuated soft robots and devices.

Effect of Different Surface Treatment Protocols on Surface Roughness, Topography, Composition, Shear Bond Strength, and Failure Mode of Monolithic Translucent Multi-Layered Zirconia

This laboratory study demonstrates that among various surface pretreatment protocols for monolithic multi-layered zirconia, airborne-particle abrasion yields the highest shear bond strength, while laser irradiation results in the lowest, with neither surface treatment nor material type significantly improved by double application of an MDP-containing primer.

Distribution Characteristics and Controlling Mechanisms of Radon and Primordial Radionuclides in a Certain Impact Crater in China

This study investigates the spatial distribution and controlling mechanisms of radon and primordial radionuclides in a Chinese impact crater, revealing that granite lithology, impact-induced fragmentation, and environmental factors drive higher radioactivity in the crater core and granite compared to peripheral zones, while identifying sediment as the primary radon reservoir with low radiological risk in surface water.

Target RNA abundance controls the collateral activity of RfxCas13d in human cells and zebrafish embryos

This study reveals that target RNA abundance acts as a critical threshold governing the collateral RNA cleavage activity of RfxCas13d, causing global toxicity in human cells and zebrafish embryos when targets are highly expressed, while identifying guide-target mismatches that can mitigate this off-target effect without compromising on-target silencing.

Meta-analysis of biochar-driven changes in soil antibiotic resistance genes: toward mitigation strategies

This global meta-analysis demonstrates that biochar application reduces soil antibiotic resistance gene abundance by an average of 78.2%, identifying optimal mitigation thresholds such as a 0.5% dosage, near-neutral pH conditions, and specific feedstock properties to guide context-specific strategies for controlling antibiotic resistance.

Study on diffusion penetration of lignohumate into leaves in foliar application

This study investigates the diffusion and penetration of lignohumate into plant leaves using both model hydrogel systems and direct leaf experiments, revealing that while lignohumate comprises both small molecules and larger supramolecules, only the smaller fraction can effectively penetrate the cuticle barrier, with the choice of cuticle isolation method significantly influencing barrier integrity.

Temporal changes and associated factors of depressive symptoms among primary school students in Eastern China: A repeated cross-sectional study with a nested longitudinal subsample

This repeated cross-sectional study with a nested longitudinal subsample of primary school students in Eastern China reveals a significant decline in depressive symptoms from 2021 to 2023, while identifying poor parent–child relationships, academic difficulties, excessive screen time, and socioeconomic disadvantage as persistent risk factors that warrant multilevel interventions.
