Adsorption in nanoporous materials is crucial to addressing global challenges such as carbon capture, gas separation, and water harvesting. While machine learning potentials (MLPs) offer a revolutionary way to predict material behavior with high accuracy, integrating them into traditional simulation tools has been a major technical bottleneck. Researchers have now developed HULU, a universal Python-based framework that acts as a "bridge," allowing scientists to seamlessly apply diverse atomistic foundation models to Monte Carlo simulations. This breakthrough paves the way for faster, more accurate discovery of the next generation of sustainable materials.

Self-emissive quantum dot light-emitting diodes (QLEDs) are promising next-generation displays, but their industrialization is hindered by uncontrollable acid-induced positive aging, leading to non-uniform luminescence and short operating lifetimes. Researchers from BOE Technology Group developed a solution-processed thermal treatment strategy for ZnMgO electron transport layers, reducing the density of oxygen vacancies and increases the nanoparticle size, enabling QLED devices to achieve uniform electroluminescence with high efficiency, bright luminance and longer operating lifetime. This work provides a reliable route for scalable manufacturing of high-performance QLED displays.

A flexible sensing-storage integrated system have been developed for wearable health monitoring. This system is fabricated using a low-cost solution spin-coating process, combining a flexible floating-gate organic thin-film transistor memory with an organic thin-film transistor pressure sensor to achieve in-situ acquisition and storage of physiological signals, which provides an innovative platform for constructing low-cost, fully flexible electronic skins capable of simultaneous physiological sensing, data storage, and wireless transmission.

Inspired by human skin, researchers proposed a skin-inspired intumescent flame-retardant and superhydrophobic coating with excellent self-extinguishing properties and robustness. Combining an outer superhydrophobic layer with an inner intumescent flame-retardant layer, this coating offers a new solution with exceptional mechanical durability and efficient flame retardancy for various combustible materials, showing broad application prospects in fields such as materials, pipe insulation, energy storage, and interior plastics.
