Discerning structure sensitivity of Ni-core Pd-shell nanoparticles for enhanced nitrite reduction

Elsevier, Cell Reports Physical Science, Volume 6, 15 October 2025
Denitrification using Pd-based catalysts converts N-oxyanions into harmless products. However, the metal cost and scarcity are barriers to application. In this work, we synthesize water-suspended, structure-controlled Ni-core/Pd-shell nanoparticles (Ni@Pd NPs) that show Pd-catalyzed nitrite (NO2−) reduction catalysis promoted by Ni.

AlzFormer: Video-based space-time attention model for early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease

Elsevier,

Neuroscience, Volume 585, 15 October 2025

This study presents AlzFormer, a novel deep learning framework utilizing spatiotemporal self-attention to classify Alzheimer’s disease (AD), mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and cognitively normal (CN) individuals from structural MRI scans. By modeling MRI volumes as sequential slice-based inputs and fine-tuning a pre-trained TimeSformer model, AlzFormer achieved 94% accuracy and high class-wise F1-scores, while attention map analyses highlighted clinically relevant brain regions, demonstrating both robust performance and interpretability in multiclass AD diagnosis.
