Uncovering the phytotoxicity of typical perovskite nanomaterials in peanut plants by Ziqian Li, Hong Liu, Yunmu Xiao, Ke Min, Yuliang Pan, Yong Li, Wende Yan

“…Omics analysis revealed a marked activation of Salicylic Acid (SA) signaling pathways during defense priming, while the concomitant m etabolic hyperactivity triggered severe growth trade-offs, resulting in ‌55.5 % reduction in fresh biomass, 56 % suppression in shoot elongation, and 47 % inhibition of root development‌ compared to untreated controls. This work pioneers the elucidation of absorption dynamics, spatial distribution patterns, and molecular toxicity cascades of Pb-PSCs in plants, providing design-critical insights for developing biodegradable encapsulation systems, targeted material substitution strategies, and bio-inspired material architectures to mitigate ecological risks while advancing sustainable photovoltaic nanotechnology.…”

Fat-free noncontrast whole-heart cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging with fast and power-optimized off-resonant water-excitation pulses by Adèle L.C. Mackowiak, Davide Piccini, Ruud B. van Heeswijk, Roger Hullin, Christoph Gräni, Jessica A.M. Bastiaansen

“…Water-selective off-resonant radiofrequency (RF) pulses have been proposed but come with tradeoffs between pulse duration, which increases scan time, and increased RF energy deposit, which limits their applicability due to specific absorption rate (SAR) constraints. The study introduces a lipid-insensitive binomial off-resonant (LIBOR) RF pulse, which addresses concerns about SAR and scan time, and aims to provide a comprehensive quantitative comparison with published off-resonant RF pulses for CMR at 3T. …”
