Hypersonic flight, characterized by speeds exceeding Mach 5, imposes unprecedented thermal, mechanical, and chemical stresses on aerospace structures. The extreme temperatures, rapid thermal cycling, high heat fluxes, and oxidative environments encountered can lead to material degradation, micro-cracking, and ultimately, structural failure. Traditional aerospace materials, while robust, often lack the ability

Wireless magnetothermal neurostimulation offers a transformative approach for next-generation brain-machine interfaces (BMIs). By employing magnetic nanoparticles to transduce alternating magnetic fields into localized heating, this technology enables remote, minimally invasive activation of targeted populations of neurons. Combined with high-fidelity neural recording capabilities, wireless magnetothermal stimulation paves the way for bidirectional

Liquid metal catalysis, particularly involving gallium (Ga) and indium (In) based alloys, is a rapidly developing field presenting revolutionary possibilities for the sustainable conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) into valuable chemicals. These innovative catalytic systems offer promising approaches to reducing greenhouse gas emissions while establishing new pathways for green chemical

Glycosylation, the enzymatic attachment of sugar moieties (glycans) to proteins and lipids, is a fundamental post-translational modification that profoundly influences a wide array of biological processes, including protein folding, cell-cell recognition, immune responses, and pathogen-host interactions. The immense structural diversity of glycans translates into a complex 'glycocode' that

Intracellular condensates, often referred to as membraneless organelles, are dynamic biomolecular assemblies that form through processes like liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS). These compartments play crucial roles in organizing cellular biochemistry by concentrating specific proteins and nucleic acids, thereby facilitating diverse functions such as RNA metabolism, stress response, signaling, and DNA

Epithelial tissues form essential barriers and functional surfaces in multicellular organisms. Maintaining their integrity and functionality in the face of cell damage, overcrowding, or the emergence of aberrant cells is critical. Cellular extrusion is a fundamental biological process by which unwanted or superfluous cells are actively removed from an epithelial

Mycelial composites, materials grown from the root-like network of fungi (mycelium) and organic byproducts, are rapidly emerging as a transformative class of sustainable materials. In an era defined by the urgent need for circular economies and reduced environmental impact, these bio-fabricated composites offer a compelling alternative to conventional materials derived
