As typical chaotropic Hofmeister ions, weakly hydrated anions (WHAs) can reshape hydration structures and accumulate at water–hydrophobe interfaces. Notably, WHAs paradoxically suppress the solubility of certain small-molecule monomers in water while enhancing that of chemically analogous polymers. Here, we exploit WHA-mediated Hofmeister hydration control to regulate polyamide-forming interfacial polymerization (IP), using the piperazine (PIP) and trimesoyl chloride (TMC) nanofiltration system as the primary model. Introducing WHAs into the aqueous phase reduces the affinity of amine monomers for water and accelerates partitioning into the reaction front in the oil phase, remarkably reinforcing IP self-limitation. Simultaneously, interfacial WHA enrichment lowers interfacial tension and, together with accelerated amine delivery, potentially intensifies transport-driven interfacial instabilities. WHAs also lower interfacial water availability, attenuating acyl chloride hydrolysis. These synergistic effects yield hollow-ridged polyamide selective layers with reduced thickness and high crosslinking density, delivering enhanced water permeance and salt rejection. Crucially, module-scale fabrication of high-performance membranes demonstrates that WHA-mediated Hofmeister hydration control is directly compatible with established desalination pipelines.","PeriodicalId":19066,"journal":{"name":"Nature Communications","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":16.6,"publicationDate":"2026-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149210215","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The treadmilling of microtubules towards spindle poles, termed poleward flux, is involved in spindle length control. However, poleward flux velocity has been shown to be both inversely and directly proportional to spindle length, a contradiction that remains unexplained by current mechanisms. Here we introduce a model which demonstrates that length-dependent regulation at both microtubule ends allows plus- and minus-end dynamics to synchronize with one another, enabling pathways of poleward-flux-based spindle length control which rectify previous results. Moreover, our model predicts that spindle length and poleward flux velocity can vary independently via simultaneous perturbations at both microtubule ends, which we validate with protein depletion experiments in human cells. Finally, we provide experimental evidence for length-dependent accumulation of proteins at microtubule minus-ends. Our results thus resolve a longstanding paradox and provide mechanistic insight into the reciprocal control of spindle length and poleward flux.","PeriodicalId":19066,"journal":{"name":"Nature Communications","volume":"33 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":16.6,"publicationDate":"2026-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149210220","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We report that in situ segregated fluorine can actuate the desolvation of cations and Cl − ions via strong H ∙ ∙ ∙ F bonding, leading to the formation of intimate cation-Cl − contact ion pairs that make Cl − migration toward electrode surface prohibited. Meanwhile, fluorine remaining in the cobalt-based catalyst shortens the Co–Co distance, attributable to its large electronegativity, triggering an oxide path mechanism that circumvents the nonideal scaling between OH * and OOH * during oxygen-evolving reaction. Direct seawater electrolysis (with 1 M NaOH) incorporating this catalyst achieves 1 ampere per square centimeter (A cm −2 ) at 1.7 volts and maintains at 0.5 A cm −2 and 60 °C over 2,450 hours degrading at 24.9 microvolts per hour. Our catalyst even survives repeatedly switched current densities (0.25, 0.5, and 1 A cm −2 ) for more than 1,250 hours, manifesting compatibility with fluctuating renewable electricity.","PeriodicalId":19066,"journal":{"name":"Nature Communications","volume":"73 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":16.6,"publicationDate":"2026-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149210201","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
