Stimuli‐Responsive MXene/PNIPAM Hydrogel WITH High‐Performance and Tunable Electromagnetic Interference Shielding Performance by Qian Yan, Zonglin Liu, Jinhua Xiong, Huanxin Lian, He Chen, Teng Fei, Yunxiang Chen, Haowen Zheng, Xu Zhao, Liangliang Xu, Fuhua Xue, Yesheng Zhong, Xiaoliang Ma, Liping Shi, Qingyu Peng, Xiaodong He

“…The EMI shielding performance of PPM hydrogels can transition from an EMI shielding status (EMI shielding on, >50 dB) to an EM‐wave‐transparent status (EMI shielding off, ≈2 dB) in the X‐band with the dynamic change in water content. Notably, the EMI SE value of PPM hydrogel in the X‐band can be quantitatively adjusted from ≈59.3 to 15.5 dB, demonstrating excellent repeatability and adjustability. …”

Mating from a female perspective: Do brown bear females play an active role in mate searching? by Vincenzo Penteriani, María del Mar Delgado, Ilpo Kojola, Samuli Heikkinen, Ancuta Fedorca, Pino García-Sánchez, Mihai Fedorca, Slavomír Find’o, Michaela Skuban, Javier Balbontín, Alejandra Zarzo-Arias, Daniele Falcinelli, Andrés Ordiz, Jon E. Swenson

“…First, we estimated movement speed, total distance and net distance at a daily scale. Then, we quantitatively described when the movement peaks occur by estimating two critical points of the functions described by each of the aforementioned movement parameters: (1) the point in time when the rate of change in brown bear movement behaviour is the highest; and (2) the point in time when each aspect of brown bear movement is most pronounced. …”

Longitudinal accumulation of glial activation measured by TSPO-PET predicts later brain atrophy in multiple sclerosis by Nylund Marjo, Lehto Jussi, Matilainen Markus, Rajander Johan, Wahlroos Saara, Sucksdorff Marcus, Kuhlmann Tanja, Airas Laura

“…Activated glial cells express 18-kDa translocator protein (TSPO), and TSPO-binding radioligands and positron emission tomography (PET) imaging can be used to quantitate glial activation in vivo. The aim of this study was to evaluate the longitudinal evolution of glial activation in untreated cohorts of relapsing remitting MS (RRMS) and secondary progressive MS (SPMS) patients over one-year follow-up, and to explore how a change in glial activation associates with later imaging and clinical outcomes. …”
