Diaphragm-based carbon monoxide electrolyzers for multicarbon production under alkaline conditions

Current CO electrolyzers using anion exchange membranes suffer from poor stability in the presence of organic intermediates. Here, the authors demonstrate that low-cost Zirfon diaphragms enable durable and scalable CO electrolysis toward multicarbon products.

Active learning-guided catalyst design for selective acetate production in CO electroreduction

CO electroreduction offers a sustainable route to acetate production but remains mechanistically unclear. Here, the authors develop an active learning multiscale framework revealing CH* binding strength as the key descriptor, predicting Cu/Pd and Cu/Ag as optimal catalysts.

Broad neuraminidase antibodies confer protection against seasonal and avian influenza viruses

Influenza A virus neuraminidase (NA) is an important target for universal influenza vaccines. Here, the authors identify two monoclonal antibodies, CAV-F6 and CAV-F34, that inhibit NA activity across multiple subtypes, offering protection against seasonal and emerging avian influenza strains, thus advancing the development of broadly protective vaccines and therapeutics.

A negative feedback loop between TET2 and leptin in adipocyte regulates body weight

The epigenetic regulation in adipocytes during obesity remains poorly understood. Here, the authors demonstrate a negative feedback loop between TET2, a DNA demethylation enzyme, and leptin, an adipokine, in adipocytes, unveiling a compensatory mechanism by which the body counteracts the metabolic dysfunction induced by obesity.

Unraveling the rate-determining step of C₂₊ products during electrochemical CO reduction

The electrochemical reduction of CO for sustainable fuel production has gained attention, but the reaction mechanism needs further clarification. Here the authors delve into the discussion regarding whether the rate-determining step for the generation of multi-carbon products is the C-C coupling or the hydrogenation of CO, and provide evidence for dimerization of two *CO as the pivotal step in this process.
