Chronic stress fuels cancer by releasing stress mediators that remodel the tumor and stromal cells, promoting immune evasion, angiogenesis, and metastasis. A review in Science Bulletin underscores how blocking this signaling could improve outcomes and proposes stress management as a potential component of precision oncology.

Analysis revealed that ignition occurred during the development stage of the thunderstorm—not the mature stage as traditionally thought. The lightning frequency and intensity were lower in this phase, but the discharge characteristics were unique.

Micro-sized anatase TiO₂ displays inferior capacity as cathode material for magnesium ion batteries because of the higher diffusion energy barrier of Mg²⁺ in anatase TiO₂ lattice. Herein, we report that nanosized anatase TiO₂ exposed (001) facet doubles the capacity compared to the micro-sized sample ascribed to the interfacial Mg²⁺ ion storage. First-principles calculations reveal that the diffusion energy barrier of Mg²⁺ on the (001) facet is significantly lower than those in the bulk phase and on (100) facet, and the adsorption energy of Mg²⁺ on the (001) facet is also considerably lower than that on (100) facet, which guarantees superior interfacial Mg²⁺ storage of (001) facet. Moreover, anatase TiO₂ exposed (001) facet displays a significantly higher capacity of 312.9 mAh g⁻¹ in Mg–Li dual-salt electrolyte compared to 234.3 mAh g⁻¹ in Li salt electrolyte. The adsorption energies of Mg²⁺ on (001) facet are much lower than the adsorption energies of Li⁺ on (001) facet, implying that the Mg²⁺ ion interfacial storage is more favorable. These results highlight that controlling the crystal facet of the nanocrystals effectively enhances the interfacial storage of multivalent ions. This work offers valuable guidance for the rational design of high-capacity storage systems.

Diabetes mellitus represents a major global health issue, driving the need for noninvasive alternatives to traditional blood glucose monitoring methods. Recent advancements in wearable technology have introduced skin-interfaced biosensors capable of analyzing sweat and skin biomarkers, providing innovative solutions for diabetes diagnosis and monitoring. This review comprehensively discusses the current developments in noninvasive wearable biosensors, emphasizing simultaneous detection of biochemical biomarkers (such as glucose, cortisol, lactate, branched-chain amino acids, and cytokines) and physiological signals (including heart rate, blood pressure, and sweat rate) for accurate, personalized diabetes management. We explore innovations in multimodal sensor design, materials science, biorecognition elements, and integration techniques, highlighting the importance of advanced data analytics, artificial intelligence-driven predictive algorithms, and closed-loop therapeutic systems. Additionally, the review addresses ongoing challenges in biomarker validation, sensor stability, user compliance, data privacy, and regulatory considerations. A holistic, multimodal approach enabled by these next-generation wearable biosensors holds significant potential for improving patient outcomes and facilitating proactive healthcare interventions in diabetes management.
