Here, we analyzed a large-scale accelerometry-based cohort, including 70,473 participants with up to 10 years of follow-up, yielding a total of 11.8 million person-hours of data. From this cohort, we constructed a comprehensive atlas of 210 accelerometer-derived phenotypes (ADPs), encompassing physical activity, sedentary behavior, sleep, circadian rhythm, step counts, and step intensity. The study identified 8149 ADP-disease and 36,614 ADP-trait associations across 406 diseases and 956 health-related traits. Step intensity and circadian rhythm emerged as the most prominent ADP domains associated with diseases. In addition, we developed an artificial intelligence (AI) framework, named Wearable-Accelerometry-based Temporal-Structural Network (WATSNet), achieving high discrimination (AUC >0.7) for 112 (28.1%) incident and 65 (34.0%) prevalent diseases, e.g., incidence of Parkinson's disease (AUC = 0.873) and dementia (AUC = 0.841). We provided evidence-informed behavioral benchmarks associated with lower disease risks: at least 0.8 h per day of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, 10,000 daily steps, and 7.8 h of sleep per day. Furthermore, we evaluated the generalizability of both ADP-disease associations and the performance of WATSNet in an external dataset (n = 4406). Together, these findings provide a comprehensive landscape linking digital behaviors to diverse health outcomes (https://digital-phenome-atlas.com) and a foundation for precision health monitoring.</p>","PeriodicalId":421,"journal":{"name":"Science Bulletin","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":20.7,"publicationDate":"2026-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149102354","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}

Identical location transmission electron microscopy and molecular dynamics simulation demonstrate that carbon vacancies induce strong catalyst-support interactions, effectively maintaining well-dispersed RuO<sub>x</sub> nanoparticles without agglomeration during the OER. Importantly, the assembled PEMWE employing the as-prepared RuO<sub>x</sub>/TiC<sub>x</sub> catalyst achieves a low cell voltage of 1.61 V at 1 A cm<sup>-2</sup> and high durability for over 200 h at 200 mA cm<sup>-2</sup>.

Based on the UHE γ-ray survey conducted by LHAASO, this paper reports the discovery of a new source distinct from all previously identified high energy γ-ray objects. This source exhibits an elongated, peanut-like structure, which can be described as a rectangular strip measuring 4.6° in length and 0.45° in width, featuring two bright knots. It is located at a Galactic latitude of -17.5°, well below the Galactic plane and away from regions rich in UHE sources. The energy spectrum is spatially uniform across the entire region and is well fitted by a power-law model with an index of -1.95 and a cutoff at 250 TeV. The highest detected photon energy reaches 760 TeV. Morphological and spectral analyses indicate the presence of a powerful particle accelerator in this region, capable of accelerating particles beyond 1 PeV. An energetic millisecond pulsar (MSP) J0218 + 4232 is located at the brighter end of this source, with a spatial chance coincidence probability of 3.6 × 10<sup>-4</sup>, corresponding to 3.4σ. This suggests that the emission from this region very likely originates from particles accelerated within the MSP wind nebulae, potentially providing the first observational evidence supporting the wind nebulae of MSP as sources of UHE γ rays. However, the presence of other hidden accelerators, whether associated with known or entirely new populations of PeVatrons, cannot be ruled out, motivating future multi-wavelength observations.</p>","PeriodicalId":421,"journal":{"name":"Science Bulletin","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":20.7,"publicationDate":"2026-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149206272","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}

However, it suffers from severe structural degradation and rapid capacity fading at high voltage (>4.5 V vs. Li<sup>+</sup>/Li). To improve high-voltage stability, researchers employ channel-type materials to desolvate lithium ions, resulting in a localized high-concentration environment. However, current channel-type materials, whether deployed as separators or additives, are hard to achieve effective desolvation of the electrolyte. Herein, we employ a facile and scalable high-speed solid-phase mechanofusion technique to construct a continuous and uniform zeolite coating layer on LCO (Zeolite@LCO). This inorganic zeolite layer physically decouples the Li<sup>+</sup> desolvation process from the electric-field-driven intercalation. Enabled by the complete Li<sup>+</sup> desolvation within the confined zeolite channels, a locally supersaturated electrolyte forms on the cathode surface, inherently suppressing the oxidative dehydrogenation of solvent molecules. Synergizing the confined channel effect with the intrinsic thermal robustness of the zeolite framework, this strategy comprehensively enhances the interfacial stability, thermal safety, and electrochemical performance of the Zeolite@LCO cathode. Consequently, Zeolite@LCO delivers an exceptional capacity retention of ∼83.0% after 300 cycles at a high cut-off voltage of 4.8 V. This confined channel interface design provides a highly translatable paradigm for developing high-energy-density cathodes innext-generation lithium-ion batteries.</p>","PeriodicalId":421,"journal":{"name":"Science Bulletin","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":20.7,"publicationDate":"2026-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149102138","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}
