Recent advances in image super-resolution (SR) explored the power of deep learning to achieve a better reconstruction performance. However, feedback mechanism, which commonly exists human visual system, has not been fully exploited existing based SR methods. In this paper, we propose an network (SRFBN) refine low-level representations with high-level information. Specifically, use hidden states recurrent neural (RNN) constraints such manner. A block is designed handle connections and...
Microcapsules containing reactive diisocyanate for use in self-healing polymers are successfully fabricated via interfacial polymerization of polyurethane (PU). Isocyanates potential catalyst-free healing agents humid or wet environments. The preparation PU prepolymer and microencapsulation isophorone (IPDI) agent presented. Smooth spherical microcapsules 40−400 μm diameter produced by controlling agitation rate (500−1500 rpm) according to a power law relation (n = −2.24). shell wall...
Abstract Electrically insulating polymer dielectrics with high energy densities and excellent thermal conductivities are showing tremendous potential for dielectric storage. However, the practical application of often requires mutually exclusive multifunctional properties such as constants, breakdown strengths, conductivities. The rational assembly 2D nanofillers boron nitride nanosheets (BNNS) reduced graphene oxide (rGO) into a well‐aligned micro‐sandwich structure in polyimide (PI)...
Polyurethane (PU) microcapsules containing hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) as core materials are facilely manufactured via interfacial polymerization reaction of commercial methylene diphenyl (MDI) prepolymer and 1,4-butanediol in an oil-in-water emulsion. The resultant capsules have diameters 5–350 μm shell thickness 1–15 μm, both linearly related to the agitation rate double logarithm coordinates. typical fraction yield synthesis around 60 wt% 70 wt%, respectively, while varying with...
Schizophrenia is a severe mental disorder that affects 0.5–1% of the population worldwide. Current diagnostic methods are based on psychiatric interviews, which subjective in nature. The lack disease biomarkers to support objective laboratory tests has been long-standing bottleneck clinical diagnosis and evaluation schizophrenia. Here we report global metabolic profiling study involving 112 schizophrenic patients 110 healthy subjects, who were divided into training set test set, designed...
Flexible multidirectional strain sensors are crucial to accurately determining the complex states involved in emerging sensing applications. Although considerable efforts have been made construct anisotropic structures for improved selective capabilities, existing suffer from a trade-off between high sensitivity and stretchability with acceptable linearity. Here, an ultrasensitive, highly sensor is developed by rational design of functionally different layers. The bilayer consists aligned...
Abstract Cooling in buildings is vital to human well-being but inevitability consumes significant energy, adding pressure on achieving carbon neutrality. Thermally superinsulating aerogels are promising isolate the heat for more energy-efficient cooling. However, most tend absorb sunlight unwanted solar gain, and it challenging scale up aerogel fabrication while maintaining consistent properties. Herein, we develop a thermally insulating, solar-reflective anisotropic cooling panel containing...
Abstract Electronic skins (e‐skins) mimic multimodal sensing capabilities of various tactile receptors in natural skin. Herein, a stretchable chromotropic ionic skin is rationally designed to simultaneously detect and decouple multiple stimuli, including in‐plane strain, temperature, pressure. The mutually discriminating trimodal consists mechanochromic, thermoresistive triboelectric layers that individually function as temperature pressure sensors, respectively. These three distinct are...

The OE-skin...
Abstract Photosensitizers (PSs) with aggregation‐induced emission (AIE) characteristics are competitive candidates for bioimaging and therapeutic applications. However, their short wavelength nonspecific organelle targeting hinder effectiveness.

By employing...
Improving the long-term cycling stability and energy density of all-solid-state lithium (Li)-metal batteries (ASSLMBs) at room temperature is a severe challenge because notorious solid-solid interfacial contact loss sluggish ion transport. Solid electrolytes are generally studied as two-dimensional (2D) structures with planar interfaces, showing limited further resulting in unstable Li/electrolyte cathode/electrolyte interfaces. Herein, three-dimensional (3D) architecturally designed...
