Nuclear tests at Mt. Mantap have reactivated intraplate faults
Underground nuclear explosions typically produce short-lived seismic sequences that decay rapidly after testing ceases. In contrast, seismicity near the Punggye-ri nuclear test site at Mt. Mantap in DPRK has persisted and intensified for years after the final large-yield explosion in 2017, evolving ...

A Super-Adhesive Air Filter With Capillarity-Mediated Spontaneous Particle Absorption via Dynamic Bond Exchange
A strategy to coat a thin liquid film over substrates enables strong particle adhesion via capillary force. However, the practical utility of a liquid film is hindered by inherent fluid instabilities, including the Plateau-Rayleigh instability, interfacial dewetting, and drainage. Here, we introduce...

The sRNA-encoded peptide TimP rewires the Escherichia coli envelope via LamB to sensitize bacteria to polymyxins
The rise of multidrug-resistant (MDR) Escherichia coli has marginalized last-line polymyxins (PMs) owing to evolving resistance and narrow therapeutic windows. Revitalizing these agents requires the identification of novel regulatory circuits governing the integrity of the gram-negative envelope. In...

Polydopamine-Mediated Multi-Stage Delivery for Precise Local Therapy of Helicobacter pylori–Infected Gastric Ulcers
The effective treatment of Helicobacter pylori-infected gastric ulcers requires precise local delivery of antibiotics to the deep-seated pathogens within the inflamed tissue. However, the complex gastric environment poses significant biological barriers, necessitating distinct functional requirement...

Adipocyte death promotes hepatic infiltration of S100A8+ macrophages and steatotic liver disease progression in mice
Both adipocytes and hepatocytes have the capacity to store fat, but the factor(s) that determine fat distribution between these cell types remain unknown. In mice fed a high-fat diet, fat initially accumulates predominantly in adipocytes, while hepatic fat accumulation mainly emerges after the onset...

Gender-Affirming Hormone Therapy and Cardiovascular Risk: An Umbrella Review of Meta-Analyses
Introduction: Gender-affirming hormone therapy (GAHT) is widely used to help transgender individuals align physical traits with gender identity, yet concerns remain regarding its cardiovascular safety. Previous reviews have produced conflicting findings, often constrained by small sample sizes, shor...

Controlling severe atopic dermatitis dynamics
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a pervasive inflammatory skin disease, with severe forms constituting a refractory phenotype that devastates quality of life through relentless pruritus, widespread lesions, and resistance to standard therapies. A central clinical challenge is to steer the disease away from...

A Multi-Scale Biocompatibility Atlas of Porous Silicon Nanoparticles: From Whole Embryo to Single-Cell Resolution
The clinical translation of nanomedicines, such as porous silicon nanoparticles (pSiNPs), requires rigorous and multidimensional safety evaluation that extends beyond conventional in vitro assays, which often fail to capture complex in vivo interactions. Here, we establish a multi-scale assessment p...

Discovery of Peripheral Airway Beyond Incomplete CT Annotations for Navigational Bronchoscopy
Navigational bronchoscopy relies on patient-specific airway maps derived from preoperative CT to plan and guide access to peripheral lung lesions. However, public CT airway datasets often contain incomplete annotations, especially in thin, low-contrast distal branches, so conventional deep-learning ...

Homoepitaxy-like heteroepitaxy via monolayer interface achieves grain-boundary-free ultraflat silver thin films
Wafer-scale growth of metallic films into single crystals is challenging due to large lattice mismatches and uncontrollable atomic stacking during deposition. Here, single-crystalline Ag(111) films are grown on atomically flat Cu(111) buffer layers using atomic sputtering epitaxy, despite the signif...

Uniform Monolithic Perovskite Films for Scalable Modules: Anti‐Solvent‐Free Crystallization via Seed Priming and Vacuum Processing
The scalable fabrication of perovskite solar modules (PSMs) is currently hindered by the difficulty of controlling crystallization over large areas and the reliance on toxic anti-solvents. To address these challenges, we report a novel Seed-primed Vacuum-Assisted Crystallization (S-VAC) strategy tha...
