Nature Communications, Published online: 26 July 2024; doi:10.1038/s41467-024-50455-1The low-temperature operation of lithium-ion batteries with fast-charging capability is impeded by sluggish Li+ diffusion and polarization. Here, authors propose a O-vacancy modulation coupled with N dopant strategy to activate electronic states of TiNb2O7 for improved...

Nature Communications, Published online: 26 July 2024; doi:10.1038/s41467-024-50605-5Discovering new active catalysts for water splitting is of high interest. Here the authors develop a generalizable transfer learning approach to accelerate the prediction of perovskite electrocatalysts, and report Pr0.1Sr0.9Co0.5Fe0.5O3 and Pr0.1Sr0.9Co0.5Fe0.3Mn0.2O3...

Nature Communications, Published online: 26 July 2024; doi:10.1038/s41467-024-50546-zNeurons receive their input in three dimensions via their dendrites, but how electrical activity in dendrites is organized is unknown. Here, the authors work out the distinct rules that govern activity across this 3D structure in different brain states.

Nature Communications, Published online: 26 July 2024; doi:10.1038/s41467-024-50751-wHere, authors propose a weakly coordinating-intervention strategy to modulate the Na+ solvation sheath and construct a robust interphase in sodium-metal batteries. Correlation between electrode interface properties and solvation structure is also stated.

Nature Communications, Published online: 26 July 2024; doi:10.1038/s41467-024-50306-zThe Authors demonstrate how time traces of individual fluorescent sources can be demixed from spatio-temporal intensity patterns transmitted by short multimode fibers. This is a first step towards measuring activity of single sources in fiber photometry experiments.

Nature Communications, Published online: 26 July 2024; doi:10.1038/s41467-024-50676-4CRISPR-Cas9 editing outcomes were considered highly predictable. Here, authors reveal distinctive insertion profiles in plants via DNA Polymerase λ. Its dual activities modulate insertion efficiency and profiles, offering insights for species-specific precise genome...
