Sustainable nitrogen transformation is central to clean energy development, environmental protection, and future chemical manufacturing. This study summarizes major advancements in designing metal–organic framework–nanoparticle (MOF–NP) composite catalysts that accelerate key nitrogen electrochemical reactions under mild conditions. By integrating the structural tunability and porosity of metal–organic frameworks MOFs with the conductivity and catalytic activity of nanoparticles, these hybrid materials significantly improve nitrogen reduction, nitrate reduction, and ammonia oxidation. The analysis highlights how MOF–NP interfaces enhance reaction selectivity, stabilize intermediates, increase Faradaic efficiency, and support strong long-term durability. Together, these performance gains position MOF–NP composites as promising candidates for green ammonia synthesis, nitrate remediation, and next-generation nitrogen-based energy systems.
This review highlights how natural polysaccharide-based microneedles (PMNs) are emerging as a transformative platform for cancer immunotherapy. We report their unique dual role in drug delivery and immune regulation, the innovative use of 3D printing for precision fabrication, and their smart responsiveness to the tumor environment. By integrating biocompatibility, enhanced drug loading, and controlled release, polysaccharide-based microneedles (PMNs) offer a promising strategy to overcome challenges in traditional cancer immunotherapies, potentially supporting the development of more effective and personalized treatments.
A breakthrough design combining a multi-periodic (Pd/Fe/FeO/MgO)4 spin tunnel junction and the coexistence of skyrmions and bimerons has enabled unprecedented control over electron spins. This dual-innovation platform provides cascaded spin filtering and topology-guided electron trajectory control, working in synergy to inject highly polarized spins into a GaN LED, achieving a record 25.3% circular polarization without any external magnetic field.
Scientists have developed a novel Cr-based single-atom catalyst that enables highly efficient hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) production in acidic environments through an electrochemical process. This breakthrough, guided by molecular dynamics simulations, reveals a self-adjusting mechanism with the catalyst actively restructuring during the reaction, achieving exceptional selectivity that rivals or even surpasses that of conventional Co-based catalysts.
Recently, a research team led by Academician Lijun Wang at CIOMP under UCAS has systematically reviewed the latest advancements in transfer printing (TP) technology. The team detailed its practical applications in integrating III-V semiconductor devices into photonic integrated circuits (PIC), demonstrating its significant potential for developing high-performance, high-reliability PICs. Their work provides crucial theoretical guidance for improving transfer yield and precision, while also offering forward-looking insights into current technical challenges and future development directions for this technology.
