8-Jan-2026 Researchers propose a new model to study developmental dyslexia Kyushu University Developmental dyslexia is characterized by persistent literacy difficulties despite typical intelligence, yet causal links between regional brain activity abnormalities and specific symptoms remain unclear. Kyushu University researchers propose a novel approach in this hypothesis paper, integrating neuroimaging-based subtyping with non-invasive brain stimulation to study dyslexia. Researchers expect this framework to clarify causal brain–behavior relationships and to contribute to personalized educational support and treatment strategies in the future.

8-Jan-2026 D-A COFs/ZnIn2S4 for high-efficiency H2O2 photosynthesis Higher Education Press We report a dual IEF-driven S-scheme heterojunction based on TpAQ and ZIS for photocatalytic H2O2 production. Without using any sacrificial agents or cocatalysts, TpAQ/ZIS-10 exhibits superior visible-light driven H2O2 production rate compared to unitary TpAQ and ZIS, illustrating the facilitated photogenerated charge separation and transfer by dual IEF-driven S-scheme heterojunctions. More importantly, the dual-pathway in TpAQ/ZIS-10 involving 2e⁻-ORR and 4e⁻-WOR synergistically promote photocatalytic H2O2 production during the reaction process. Journal Acta Physico-Chimica Sinica
8-Jan-2026 How plastic film mulching and microplastics affect soil nitrogen cycling？ Higher Education Press As a crucial agricultural yield-increasing technique in arid and semi-arid regions, plastic film mulching (PFM) has significantly enhanced crop yield and quality by increasing soil temperature, reducing water evaporation, and optimizing nutrient cycling. However, with the increasingly prominent issue of farmland microplastic pollution caused by residual plastic films, this "white revolution" is now facing severe challenges to sustainable development.
