Theory for dynamic ion transport in ion-shuttling electrodes for electrochemical ion pumping

Electrochemical ion pumping combines the advantages of conventional capacitive deionization and electrodialysis for effective ion separation. A mathematical model of the technique reveals aspects of ion transport that show fundamental differences from conventional capacitive deionization or electrodialysis.

Three-dimensional mapping of the altermagnetic spin splitting in CrSb

Altermagnets combine the rapid dynamics and zero magnetization of collinear antiferromagnets with the spin-splitting of ferromagnets, making them an idea platform for both fundamental research and applications. Here, Yang, Li and coauthors map the large altermagnetic spin-splitting in CrSb located near the Fermi level.

Pseudo-continuous and scalable electrochemical ion pumping with circuit-switching-induced ion shuttling

Unlike solution switching in conventional electrosorption, electrochemical ion pumping achieves ion separation via circuit switching, enabling pseudo-continuous desalination with a unidirectional ion flux and a very high frequency of charging and discharging.

A designer peptide against the EAG2–Kvβ2 potassium channel targets the interaction of cancer cells and neurons to treat glioblastoma

Huang and colleagues identify that EAG2 and Kvβ2 physically interact to form a potassium channel complex in glioblastoma and develop a designer peptide that disrupts their interaction and induces tumor regression.

Oscillatory cortical forces promote three dimensional cell intercalations that shape the murine mandibular arch

Morphogenesis of tissue sheets is well studied, but mechanisms that shape bulk tissues are unclear. Here, the authors show that mesenchymal cells intercalate in 3D to shape the mouse branchial arch, with cortical forces driving intercalations in a Wnt5a-, Yap/Taz- and Piezo1-dependent manner.

Fast and scalable production of crosslinked polyimide aerogel fibers for ultrathin thermoregulating clothes

The scalable production of polyimide aerogel fibers, promising intelligent thermal management fabrics, is limited by the slow gelation kinetics and the weak backbone. Here, the authors present a UV-enhanced dynamic gelation strategy for fast and scalable preparation of cross-linked polyimide aerogel fibers by wet spinning and cost-effective ambient pressure drying.

Postsynaptic RIM1 modulates synaptic function by facilitating membrane delivery of recycling NMDARs in hippocampal neurons

Rab3-interacting molecules (RIMs) are a key component of the presynaptic active zone that regulate neurotransmitter release. Here, the authors show that RIM1 also has postsynaptic function to organize NMDA receptors and synaptic response.
