摘要High-performance alloys are indispensable in modern engineering because of their exceptional strength,ductility,corrosion resistance,fatigue resistance,and thermal stability,which are all significantly influenced by the alloy interface structures.Despite substantial efforts,a comprehensive overview of interface engineering of high-performance alloys has not been presented so far.In this study,the interfaces in high-performance alloys,particularly grain and phase boundaries,were systematically examined,with emphasis on their crystallographic characteristics and chemical element segregations.The effects of the interfaces on the electrical conductivity,mechanical strength,toughness,hydrogen embrittlement resistance,and thermal stability of the alloys were elucidated.Moreover,correlations among various types of interfaces and advanced experimental and computational techniques were examined using big data analytics,enabling robust design strategies.Challenges currently faced in the field of interface engineering and emerging opportunities in the field are also discussed.The study results would guide the development of next-generation high-performance alloys.

摘要Two anaerobic ammonia oxidation(anammox)systems,one with adding nano-scale zerovalent iron modified biochar(nZVI@BC)and the other with adding biochar,were constructed to explore the feasibility of nZVI@BC for enhancing the resistance of low-nitrogen anammox processes to low temperatures.The results showed that the average nitrogen removal efficiency with nZVI@BC addition at lowtemperatureswas maintained at about 80%,while that with biochar addition gradually decreased to 69.49%.The heme-c content of biomass with nZVI@BC was significantly higher by 36.60%-91.45%.Additional,nZVI@BC addition resulted in more extracellular polymeric substances,better biomass granulation,and a higher abundance of anammox bacteria.In particularly,anammox genes hzsA/B/C,hzo and hdh played a pivotal role in maintaining nitrogen removal performance at 15℃.These findings suggest that nZVI@BC has the potential to enhance the resistance of low-nitrogen anammox processes to low temperatures,making it a valuable approach for practical applications in low-nitrogen and low-temperature wastewater treatment.

摘要Producing steel requires large amounts of energy to convert iron ores into steel,which often comes from fossil fuels,leading to carbon emissions and other pollutants.Increasing scrap usage emerges as one of the most effective strategies for addressing these issues.However,typical residual elements(Cu,As,Sn,Sb,Bi,etc.)inherited from scrap could significantly influence the mechanical properties of steel.In this work,we investigate the effects of residual elements on the microstructure evolution and mechanical properties of a quenching and partitioning(Q&P)steel by comparing a commercial QP1180 steel(referred to as QP)to the one containing typical residual elements(Cu+As+Sn+Sb+Bi<0.3wt%)(referred to as QP-R).The results demonstrate that in comparison with the QP steel,the residual elements significantly refine the prior austenite grain(9.7μm vs.14.6μm)due to their strong solute drag effect,leading to a higher volume fraction(13.0%vs.11.8%),a smaller size(473 nm vs.790 nm)and a higher average carbon content(1.26 wt%vs.0.99 wt%)of retained austenite in the QP-R steel.As a result,the QP-R steel exhibits a sustained transformation-induced plasticity(TRIP)effect,leading to an enhanced strain hardening effect and a simultaneous improvement of strength and ductility.Grain boundary segregation of residual elements was not observed at prior austenite grain boundaries in the QP-R steel,primarily due to continuous interface migration during austenitization.This study demonstrates that the residual elements with concentrations comparable to that in scrap result in significant microstructural refinement,causing retained austenite with relatively higher stability and thus offering promising mechanical properties and potential applications.

摘要High-strength Fe-Mn-Al-C-Ni low-density steels are highly desirable in lightweight transportation,safe infrastructure,and advanced energy applications.However,these steels generally suffer from limited ductility owing to the formation of coarse B2 particles at grain boundaries.In this study,we proposed a strategy to introduce copious intragranular B2 nanoprecipitates within fully-recrystallized fine austenitic grains in a Fe-26Mn-11Al-0.9C-5Ni ultralight steel by a simple cold rolling and annealing process.Compared with steel where B2 particles are mainly distributed at grain boundaries,the yield strength and ultimate tensile strength of this steel increased from 768 MPa and 1100 MPa to 954 MPa and 1337 MPa,respectively,whereas the total elongation increased from 38%to 50%.The higher yield strength was primarily due to the synergistic strengthening effect of intragranular B2 nanoprecipitates and grain refinement.The excellent ductility and sustained work hardening were mainly attributed to the strong dislocation storage capability mediated by the intragranular B2 nanoprecipitates and the greater dynamic slip band refinement strengthening effect.Hence,the achievement of copious intragranular B2 nanoprecipitation in fully recrystallized ultralight steel offers an effective pathway for developing lightweight materials with high strength and large ductility.

摘要Immune checkpoint inhibitors have markedly improved outcomes in patients with multiple advanced malignancies.However,their widespread use has markedly increased the incidence of immune-related adverse events(irAEs).irAEs can affect a wide range of organ systems and are characterized by heterogeneous onset,broad toxicity spectra,and complex management requirements,thus ultimately impairing treatment continuation and patient quality of life.This review systematically summarizes the epidemiological features,clinical progression,and current management of irAEs.Existing guidelines largely focus on acute toxicities but have not provided structured strategies for chronic,delayed-onset,or multisystem irAEs.Moreover,clinical practice is hampered by incomplete multidisciplinary collaboration,insufficient training of oncologists,and fragmented treatment pathways,all of which limit the efficacy of irAE management.We propose incorporating irAE management into core oncology training and call for the establishment of comprehensive interdisciplinary frameworks to ensure the standardized long-term use of immunotherapy.

摘要The seepage characteristics of shale reservoirs are influenced not only by multi-field coupling effects such as stress field,temperature field,and seepage field but also exhibit evident creep characteristics during oil and gas exploitation.The complex fluid flow in such reservoirs is analyzed using a combination of theoretical modeling and numerical simulation.This study develops a comprehensive mathematical model that integrates the impact of creep on the seepage process,with consideration of factors including stress,strain,and time-dependent deformation.The model is validated through a series of numerical experiments,which demonstrate the significant influence of creep on the seepage behavior.The results indicate that the rock mechanical parameters and creep constitutive model were determined through triaxial compression tests and uniaxial creep tests.A creep-seepage coupling control equation for shale was established based on the Burgers creep model.The absolute value of the volumetric strain of shale increases rapidly in the initial creep stage,and the increase in vertical stress accelerates the rock’s creep deformation.During the deceleration creep stage,the volumetric strain of the reservoir increases rapidly,leading to a significant decrease in permeability.In the stable creep stage,the pores and fractures in the rock are further compressed,causing a gradual reduction in permeability,which eventually stabilizes.

摘要Increasing anthropogenic nitrogen(N)inputs has profoundly altered soil microbial necromass carbon(MNC),which serves as a key source of soil organic carbon(SOC).Yet,the response pattern of MNC and its contribution to SOC across a wide range of N addition rates,remain elusive.In a temperate grassland with six years'consecutive N addition spanning seven rates(0-50 g N/(m2·year))in Inner Mongolia,China,we explored the responses of soil MNC and its contribution to SOC.The soil MNC showed a hump-shaped pattern to increasing N addition rates,with the N saturation threshold at 18.07 g N/(m2·year).The soil MNC was driven by nematode abundance and the ratio of bacterial to fungal biomass below the N threshold,and by plant biomass allocation pattern and diversity above the N threshold.The contribution of soil MNC to SOC declined with increasing N addition rates,and was mainly regulated by the ratio of MNC to mineral-associated organic carbon and plant diversity and the ratio of bacterial to fungal biomass.In addition,the soil MNC and SOC differentially responded to N addition and were mediated by disparate biological and geochemical mechanisms,leading to the decoupled MNC production from SOC formation.Together,in this N-enriched temperate grassland,the soilmicrobial necro-mass production tends to be insufficient as a general explanation linking SOC formation.This study expands the mechanistic comprehension of the connections between external N input and soil carbon sequestration.

摘要The sixth generation(6G)mobile networks will reshape the world by offering instant,efficient,and intelligent hyper-connectivity,as envisioned by the previously proposed Ubiquitous-X 6G networks.Such hyper-massive and global connectivity will introduce tremendous challenges into the operation and management of 6G networks,calling for revolutionary theories and technological innovations.To this end,we propose a new route to boost network capabilities toward a wisdom-evolutionary and primitive-concise network(WePCN)vision for the Ubiquitous-X 6G network.In particular,we aim to concretize the evolution path toward the WePCN by first conceiving a new semantic representation framework,namely semantic base,and then establishing an intelligent and efficient semantic communication(IE-SC)network architecture.In the IE-SC architecture,a semantic intelligence plane is employed to interconnect the semantic-empowered physical-bearing layer,network protocol layer,and application-intent layer via semantic information flows.The proposed architecture integrates artificial intelligence and network technologies to enable intelligent interactions among various communication objects in 6G.It features a lower bandwidth requirement,less redundancy,and more accurate intent identification.We also present a brief review of recent advances in semantic communications and highlight potential use cases,complemented by a range of open challenges for 6G.

摘要Flexible pressure sensors are unprecedentedly studied on monitoring human physical activities and robotics.Simultaneously,improving the response sensitivity and sensing range of flexible pressure sensors is a great challenge,which hinders the devices’practical application.Targeting this obstacle,we developed a Ti3C2Tx-derived iontronic pressure sensor(TIPS)by taking the advantages of the high intercalation pseudocapacitance under high pressure and rationally designed structural configuration.TIPS achieved an ultrahigh sen-sitivity(Smin>200 kPa−1,Smax>45,000 kPa−1)in a broad sensing range of over 1.4 MPa and low limit of detection of 20 Pa as well as stable long-term working durability for 10,000 cycles.The practical application of TIPS in physical activity monitoring and flexible robot manifested its versatile potential.This study provides a demonstration for exploring pseudocapacitive materials for building flexible iontronic sensors with ultrahigh sensitivity and sensing range to advance the development of high-performance wearable electronics.

摘要Grain boundary(GB)significantly influences the mechanical properties of metal structural materials,yet the effect of solutes on GB modification and the underlying atomic mechanisms of solute segregation and strengthening in iron-based alloys remain insufficiently explored.To address this research gap,we conducted a comprehensive investigation into the segregation and strengthening effect of 33 commonly occurring solutes in iron-based alloys,with a specific focus on the body-centered cubic(BCC)iron5(310)GB,utilizing first-principle calculations.Our findings reveal a negative linear correlation between solute segregation energy and atomic radius,highlighting the crucial role of atomic radius and electronic structure in determining GB strength.Moreover,through analyzing the relationship between strengthening energy and segregation energy,it was found that the elements Ni,Co,Ti,V,Mn,Nb,Cr,Mo,W,and Re are significant enhancers of GB strength upon segregation.This study aims to provide theoretical guidance for selecting optimal doping elements in BCC iron-based alloys.
