Transformer-Based Quantification of the Echo Chamber Effect in Online Communities

An Echo Chamber on social media refers to the environment where like-minded people hear the echo of each others' voices, opinions, or beliefs, which reinforce their own. Echo Chambers can turn social media platforms into collaborative venues that polarize and radicalize users rather than broadening their exposure to diverse information. Having a quantified metric for measuring the Echo Chamber effect can aid moderators and policymakers in tracking and mitigating online polarization and radicalization. Existing methods for Echo Chamber detection are either one-dimensional, only considering the network behavior of users while ignoring their semantic behavior, or require demanding supervised labeling, which is both expensive and less generalizable. This paper proposes a new metric to quantify the Echo Chamber effect using Transformer models for context-sensitive processing of natural language (NLP). Our metric quantifies (1) the effect of an Echo Chamber through the inverse effect of user diversity , and (2) polarization by means of user separability between two Echo Chambers in a topic. Leveraging this metric, we further propose an NLP-based embedding that represents the users' activity. Our model is simultaneously effective, computationally cheap, and unsupervised. As our method is unsupervised, it makes existing collaborative moderation efforts to thwart Echo Chamber effects more efficient by addressing the problem of identifying narrow information bases for algorithmic biases and misinformation detection. We run our analysis on three recent highly controversial political topics and a non-controversial topic: Russo-Ukrainian War, Abortion, Gun-Control, and SXSW music festival. Our results offer data-driven findings such as a higher Echo Chamber effect among Republicans over Democrats and diverse explicit support for Ukraine, especially among Democrats. We also observe a direct relationship between the Echo Chamber effect and polarization while observing that the low Echo Chamber effect for the Russo-Ukraine war is accompanied by a low polarization; and vice versa for Gun-Control.

Sn Penetrated Zincophilic Interface Design in Porous Zn Substrate for High Performance Zn‐Ion Battery

AbstractRechargeable zinc‐ion batteries are considered an ideal energy storage system due to their low cost and nonflammable aqueous electrolyte. However, dendrite growth, hydrogen evolution reaction, and self‐corrosion of zinc anode brought about serious safety risks including short circuits and electrode expansion. Therefore, a modified host‐design strategy with a 3D porous structure and bulk‐phase penetrated zincophilic interface is proposed to boost the stability and lifetime of the Zn anode. The porous Zn substrate is constructed by universal HCl etching and the uniform and tight Sn‐penetrated zincophilic interface is formed by effective electron beam evaporation (EBE). The porous substrate can uniform zinc ion flux and the Sn coating could effectively improve zinc ion deposition behavior, thus inhibiting the risk of dendrites growth and side reaction. As a result, the 3D Zn substrate with Sn interface (3D Zn@Sn) exhibits prolonged galvanostatic cycling performance up to 4500 h with a low polarization of ≈25 mV (1 mA cm−2, 1 mAh cm−2) in the symmetric cell. The full cell assembled with KVOH@Ti could maintain a high specific capacity of 148.6 mAh g−1 after 500 galvanostatic cycles (10 A g−1). This work proposed an improved electrode design to realize the high performance of zinc ion batteries.

Enhanced Energy Storage Performance of Lead-Free Sr0.7Bi0.2TiO3 Ceramics via Tape Casting.

Abstract The development of pulsed power technology demands high energy storage density dielectric materials. In this study, Sr0.7Bi0.2TiO3 relaxor ferroelectric ceramic thick films were prepared using a tape-casting process. The ceramics exhibit a dense structure and typical relaxor ferroelectric hysteresis curves, achieving an energy storage density of 4.77 J/cm³ and efficiency of 94.4%, attributed to the high polarization intensity, low remnant polarization, and low hysteresis loss of relaxor ferroelectrics. Additionally, the material demonstrates good temperature stability. Moreover, the Sr0.7Bi0.2TiO3 ceramic thick films show advantages in charge-discharge performance, capable of discharging within hundreds of nanoseconds and achieving a power density of 137 MW/cm³. Overall, the Sr0.7Bi0.2TiO3 ceramic thick film exhibits a comprehensive performance advantage in terms of energy storage density, efficiency, and power density. Additionally, the material was fabricated using the tape-casting process, which is compatible with subsequent multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) production, indicating potential for further performance enhancement.

Research progress of organic small probes sensitive to tumor microenvironment

The development, metastasis, and spread of malignant tumors are closely associated with the inherent properties of tumor cells. These tumors often exhibit low pH, low polarity, high viscosity, and hypoxia. Understanding these characteristics is essential for early cancer detection and monitoring treatment effectiveness. Small molecule fluorescent probes have emerged as powerful tools for real-time localization, dynamic detection, and visualization of tumors. In this paper, we review recent progress in the use of these probes to study tumor biology, focusing on their design strategies, response mechanisms, and preclinical applications for detecting pH, viscosity, polarity, and hypoxia.

Outer Helmholtz plane adsorption regulation to achieve low-concentration of pure propylene carbonate solvent electrolytes compatible with graphite anode

The low melting point and high polarity of propylene carbonate (PC) make it an ideal solvent for electrolytes of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), but the incompatibility with graphite anode hinders the application. In the present study, a new method is developed to solve this problem from a new viewpoint. Introduction of saturated LiNO3 (0.14 mol L‒1) into pure PC electrolyte containing lithium salt with normal concentration (1.38 mol L‒1) leads to a perfect compatibility with graphite anode. Li/Graphite cell using this pure PC electrolyte shows a reversible capacity of 350.0 mAh g‒1 and a 200-cycle capacity retention of 96.3 %. Further mechanism study and theoretical computation indicate that the NO3‒ anions are adsorbed to outer Helmholtz plane of the electric double layer at the graphite anode interface. This changes the Li+ solvation structure in the electric double layer, facilitating the Li+ desolvation process hence resulting in high compatibility with the graphite anode. The most prominent advantage of the present strategy is that, because of the adsorption of NO3‒ anions to the outer Helmholtz plane, the compatibility with graphite anode could be improved by introduction of tiny amount of Li salt without large change of the bulk phase properties of the electrolyte. This work provides a new understanding of the compatibility from the viewpoint of outer Helmholtz plane, which might deliver new insights for the optimization of electrolytes for LIBs.

Chitosan-based gel polymer electrolytes for high performance Li-ion battery

This study explores the use of glutaraldehyde-crosslinked chitosan-based gel polymer electrolytes (GPEs) in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). GPEs are prepared by solution casting using two different molecular weights of chitosan including 150 kDa as medium and 400 kDa as high molecular weight (MMWCS and HMWCS, respectively) with varying amounts of crosslinker. Degree of crystallinity was 25.9 and 24.1 % for HMWCS and MMWCS, respectively that was decreased to 18.3 and 22.7 % by using 5 % crosslinker and 17.8 and 21.1 % by using 10 % crosslinker, and 17.2 and 17.6 % by using 20 % crosslinker. The obtained ionic conductivity for HMWCS and MMWCS was 3.1 × 10−3 and 2.9 × 10−3 S.cm−1. After crosslinking by 5, 10, and 20 % crosslinker, the ionic conductivity was obtained to 0.9 × 10−3 and 0.3 × 10−3 S.cm−1, 6.3 × 10−3 and 5 × 10−3 S.cm−1, and 1.1 × 10−3 and 0.5 × 10−3 S.cm−1 for high and medium molecular weight, respectively. Lithium-ion transfer number was obtained between 0.34 and 0.83 and the highest t+ value was obtained for the MMWCS-GA10. Electrochemical stability window of the prepared polymer electrolytes was >5 V and samples showed no remarkable dendrite growth after cycling analyses. The symmetric cells demonstrated reliable performance, operating for over 300 h without any short-circuiting, which indicates excellent reversible cycling stability for chitosan-based lithium-ion batteries. Furthermore, the Gr/GPE cell exhibited very low voltage polarization, with the over-potential decreasing from 10 mV initially to 6 mV after 300 h at the same current density. Discharge capacity was obtained higher than 170 mAh/g at 0.2C with CE = 97 % for both HMWCS-GA20 and HMWCS-GA20.

Cross-community affinity: A polarization measure for multi-community networks

This article introduces a heterophily-based metric for assessing polarization in social networks when different opposing ideological communities coexist. The proposed metric measures polarization at the node level and is based on a node’s affinity for other communities. Node-level values can then be aggregated at the community, network, or any intermediate level, resulting in a more comprehensive map of polarization. We looked at our metric on the Polblogs network, the White Helmets Twitter interaction network with two communities, and the VoterFraud2020 domain network with five communities. Additionally, we evaluated our metric on different sets of synthetic graphs to confirm that it yields low polarization scores, as expected. We employed three ways to build synthetic networks: synthetic labeling, dK-series, and network models, in order to assess how the proposed measure behaves to various topologies and network features. Then, we compared our metric to two commonly used polarization metrics, Guerra’s boundary polarization and the random walk controversy score. We also examined how our suggested metric correlates with two network metrics: assortativity and modularity.

An active and stable PrOx-modified open-straight pore (La0.8Sr0.2)0.98MnO3-δ-Sc0.18Zr0.82O2-δ air electrode for reversible solid oxide cells

Air electrode supported reversible solid oxide cells (RSOCs) have drawn increasing attention for the capability of fuel flexibility and well bonding between the air electrode and electrolyte. However, the high concentration polarization and sluggish oxygen reduction/evolution reaction (ORR/OER) has significantly restricted the practical applications. Herein, finger-like (La0.8Sr0.2)0.98MnO3-δ-Sc0.18Zr0.82O2-δ (LSM98-SSZ) air electrode supported symmetrical and single cells are successfully fabricated by phase inversion tape-casting technology. The open-straight pores formed on the air electrode support can facilitate the gas transport and catalyst impregnation. The ORR/OER activity of LSM98-SSZ air electrode is largely increased with the introduction of impregnated PrOx nano catalyst, showing a low polarization resistance (Rp) of 0.06 Ω cm2 and great stability for 550 h at 700 oC. Furthermore, the LSM98-SSZ supported cell with PrOx modification shows a remarkable peak power density of 1.0 W cm-2 and electrolysis current density of 1.09 A cm-2 at 1.3 V at 750 oC. The enhanced performance is primarily ascribed to the facilitated oxygen surface exchange.

Iron-Free Anode Boosting High Energy Efficiency Aqueous Full Iron-Ion Batteries.

Aqueous iron-ion batteries with reversible storage of Fe2+ have undergone rapid development in recent years. Consistently throughout these studies, metallic iron is selected as the anode material. However, the large overpotential (250mV) associated with the plating/stripping process of iron in aqueous solutions leads to unsatisfactory energy efficiency of the battery, although high capacity and Coulomb efficiency can be achieved. Herein, an iron-free anode material, 9,10-anthraquinone (AQ) is proposed in aqueous iron-ion batteries, which shows a low reaction potential and minimal polarization during storing iron ions. The organic anode exhibits favorable specific capacity of 106mAhg-1 at 0.5Ag-1 and excellent cycling stability (92.6% retention after 500 cycles). In addition, an aqueous full iron-ion battery is constructed using AQ as the anode and 9,10-phenanthraquinone (PQ) as the cathode. The full battery demonstrates an enhanced energy efficiency of 72%, which is 206% higher than that of metal iron anode, and shows excellent cycling stability and Coulombic efficiency. This work provides a viable route to overcome the high polarization of metallic iron anode and promote the development of aqueous iron-ion batteries.

Exploration of Optimization Strategies for Locking Sulfur in 2D Layered/Polymer-Enveloped Cathode Composite for High Power Li-S Batteries.

In Lithium sulfur (Li-S) batteries the sulfur host material is a significant area of research that could impart enhanced conductivity and alleviate the shuttling of polysulfides. In the present study, graphene oxide- sulfur, GO-S was synthesized in melt diffusion method by exploring the two different strategies: Ambient (G2-M) and Inert (G2-T) conditions. Within the cathode, efficient storage of S with sufficient space in GO interlayers was outperformed by G2-T method. Further with PEDOT nanostructures enveloped by oxidative polymerisation proves to be a robust conductive layer and an adsorbing agent. It is evidenced physicochemically by XRD, FTIR, TGA, HR-SEM. Moreover, in addition to the supporting studies, high binding energies of 168.3 and 169.5 eV confirms the superior performance of PEDOT/GO-S (G3-T) as most suitable cathode within the system. The electrochemical behaviour of G3-T possess very low cell impedance with an excellent cyclic reversibility in CV during (de)lithiation process. At 0.1 C, an initial discharge capacity of 868 mAh g-1 has been achieved confirming a high catalytic activity with a low polarisation potential of (ΔE=0.25) inducing fast reaction kinetics. Thus potential locking of sulfur under inert condition is explored with a proven OCV of 2.3 V with red LED glow.

The Faraday Rotation Measure of the M87 Jet at 3.5 mm with ALMA

Faraday rotation is an important probe of the magnetic fields and magnetized plasma around active galactic nuclei jets. We present a Faraday rotation measure (RM) image of the M87 jet between 85.2 and 101.3 GHz with a resolution of ∼2″ with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array. We found that the RM of the M87 core is (4.5 ± 0.4) × 104 rad m−2 with a low linear polarization fraction of (0.88 ± 0.08)%. The spatial RM gradient in the M87 jet spans a wide range from ∼ −2 × 104 rad m−2 to ∼3 × 104 rad m−2 with a typical uncertainty of 0.3 × 104 rad m−2. A comparison with previous RM measurements of the core suggests that the Faraday rotation of the core may originate very close to the supermassive black hole. Both an internal origin and an external screen with a rapidly varying emitting source could be possible. As for the jet, the RM gradient indicates a helical configuration of the magnetic field that persists up to the kiloparsec scale. Combined with the kiloparsec-scale RM measurements at lower frequencies, we found that RM is frequency-dependent in the jet. One possible scenario to explain this dependence is that the kiloparsec-scale jet has a trumpet-like shape, and the jet coil unwinds near its end.

Magnetic fields in the outskirts of PSZ2 G096.88+24.18 from a depolarization analysis of radio relics

Context. Radio relics are diffuse, non-thermal radio sources present in a number of merging galaxy clusters. They are characterized by elongated arc-like shapes and highly polarized emission (up to ∼60%) at gigahertz frequencies, and are expected to trace shock waves in the cluster outskirts induced by galaxy cluster mergers. Their polarized emission can be used to study the magnetic field properties of the host cluster. Aims. In this paper, we investigate the polarization properties of the double radio relics in PSZ2 G096.88+24.18 using the rotation measure (RM) synthesis, and try to constrain the characteristics of the magnetic field that reproduce the observed depolarization as a function of resolution (beam depolarization). Our aim is to understand the nature of the low polarization fraction that characterizes the southern relic with respect to the northern relic. Methods. We present new 1–2 GHz Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) observations in multiple configurations. We derived the RM and polarization of the two relics by applying the RM synthesis technique, and thus solved for bandwidth depolarization in the wide observing bandwidth. To study the effect of beam depolarization, we degraded the image resolution and studied the decreasing trend of polarization fraction with increasing beam size. Finally, we performed 3D magnetic field simulations using multiple models for the magnetic field power spectrum over a wide range of scales, in order to constrain the characteristics of the cluster magnetic field that can reproduce the observed beam depolarization trend. Results. Using RM synthesis, we obtained a polarization fraction of (18.6 ± 0.3)% for the northern relic and (14.6 ± 0.1)% for the southern one. Having corrected for bandwidth depolarization, and after noticing the absence of relevant complex Faraday spectrum, we inferred that the nature of the depolarization for the southern relic is external, and possibly related to the turbulent gas distribution within the cluster, or to the complex spatial structure of the relic. The best-fit magnetic field power spectrum, which reproduces the observed depolarization trend for the southern relic, was obtained for a turbulent magnetic field model, described by a power spectrum derived from cosmological simulations, and defined within the scales of Λmin = 35 kpc and Λmax = 400 kpc. This yields an average magnetic field of the cluster within 1 Mpc3 volume of ∼2 μG.

Turning crisis into opportunity: Intrinsically polarised low concentration eutectic electrolytes enable highly reversible zinc anodes

Low-concentration electrolytes (LCEs) hold great promise for sustainable energy storage due to their low viscosity, excellent wettability, and cost-effectiveness. However, their intrinsic polarization issues often lead to side reactions and dendrite growth, hindering their broader application. Herein, we present an approach to convert the negative effects of intrinsic polarization in LCEs into advantages, overcoming these challenges. The experimental and theoretical analyses demonstrate that acetate-adsorbed zinc anodes can harness the intrinsic polarization of LCEs to direct the electrocrystallization process on their surfaces. This promotes the preferential orientation of Zn(002) plane with high stability, resulting in symmetric batteries loaded with low-concentration eutectic electrolytes (LCEE) that maintain surprisingly low voltage polarization during the dendrite-free growth of up to 3150 h. In addition, by forming an organic-inorganic composite film enriched with N and Cl, LCEE achieves rapid migration of Zn2+. This allows Zn//PANI full batteries with LCEE to demonstrate superior capacity and cycling stability compared to other Zn-based batteries with LCEs. This study not only achieves a divergent design in LCEs but also provides clear guidance for future electrolyte development.

Oxygen Reduction Reaction Coupled Electro‐Oxidation for Highly‐Efficient and Sustainable Water Treatment

AbstractElectro‐oxidation (EO) technology demonstrates significant potential in wastewater treatment. However, the high energy consumption has become a pivotal constraint hindering its large‐scale implementation. Herein, we design an EO and 4‐electron oxygen reduction reaction coupled system (EO‐4eORR) to replace the traditional EO and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) coupled system (EO‐HER). The theoretical cathodic potential of the electrolytic reactor is tuned from 0 V (vs. RHE) in HER to 1.23 V (vs. RHE) in 4eORR, which greatly decreases the required operation voltage of the reactor. Moreover, we demonstrate that convection can improve the mass transfer of oxygen and organic pollutants in the reaction system, leading to low cathodic polarization and high pollutant removal rate. Compared with traditional EO‐HER system, the energy consumption of the EO‐4eORR system under air aeration for 95 % total organic carbon (TOC) removal is greatly decreased to 2.61 kWh/kgTOC (only consider the electrolyzer energy consumption), which is superior to previously reported EO‐based water treatment systems. The reported results in this study offer a new technical mode for development of highly efficient and sustainable EO‐based treatment systems to remove organic pollutants in waste water.

Tailoring eco-friendly siloxane-based electrolytes for high-performance lithium–sulfur batteries

Lithium–sulfur batteries (LSBs), with their ultra-high theoretical energy density (2600 Wh kg−1), are considered one of the most attractive high-energy batteries. However, the “shuttling effect” of polysulfides and the uncontrolled growth of lithium (Li) dendrites pose significant challenges to the practical implementation of LSBs. Herein, a lightweight and eco-friendly diethoxydimethylsilane (DEMS) is chosen as a multi-functional solvent for LSBs. The low polarity of DEMS promotes the “solid–solid” conversion of sulfurized polyacrylonitrile (SPAN) during charge–discharge processes, eliminating the shuttle effect of polysulfides. Moreover, the DEMS-based electrolyte enables highly reversible Li plating/stripping processes across a wide temperature range spanning from −20 to 60 °C. As a result, the Li/SPAN batteries using the DEMS electrolyte exhibit excellent cyclic stability at 0.2 C with retainable capacities of 524.4 mAh/g after 200 cycles, 598.8 mAh/g after 100 cycles, and 318.6 mAh/g after 50 cycles at 26, 60 and −20 °C, respectively. This study aims to identify low-cost and highly stable electrolytes through solvent screening to enhance the electrochemical performance of LSBs.

Metasurface with high cross-polarization isolation using rectangular split rings for simultaneous amplitude and phase controls

Metasurfaces have demonstrated significant potential for versatile modulation of electromagnetic waves. To enhance the control of electromagnetic waves, simultaneous control of amplitudes and phases is often essential in certain applications. The C-shaped split ring (SR) with polarization conversion and its deformed structures can fulfill this requirement; however, such structures encounter the challenge of low polarization isolation, which is mainly reflected in its inherent characteristics of low polarization isolation and the deterioration of polarization isolation in amplitude control. In this paper, a reflective metasurface with improved polarization isolation is proposed. The designed metasurface consists of rectangular split ring (R-SR) elements, which can realize both amplitude and phase controls simultaneously and independently while exhibiting higher polarization isolation than the conventional SR element. Furthermore, an alternating mirror rotation method (AMRM) for the arrangement of amplitude-control elements is proposed to suppress the degradation of polarization isolation caused by amplitude control. Several metasurfaces are designed to verify the characteristics of the proposed R-SR structure and the effectiveness of the AMRM. Finally, two reflective metasurfaces composed of R-SR elements and SR elements with identical configurations are designed and manufactured. Both the simulation and measured results demonstrate the versatility of the proposed design and its advantages in terms of polarization isolation and transfer efficiency.

Intramolecular Charge Transfer Inhibition Strategy toward a Desired Solvatochromic Fluorescent Platform: Visualization of Duple Organelles and Detection of Carbon Dioxide.

Solvatochromic fluorescent probes are crucial molecular tools to investigate and aggregate proteins' fold, visualize fine structures in biomembranes, and label different organelles in dual emission colors. However, solvatochromic fluorogens often displayed a weak emission at high polarity, hindering their bioimaging applications. To resolve this problem, herein, we propose an intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) inhibition strategy. The probe was designed with a single electronic donor and two acceptors in order to split and inhibit the ICT procedure. As a result, the probe displayed an intense emission at both low and high polarities and showed a large emission shift (84 nm) upon polarity change. Using the probe, we successfully imaged lipid droplets and the endoplasmic reticulum in different fluorescence colors. Moreover, the different degrees of lipid accumulation by oleic acid, stearic acid, and cholesterol (oleic acid > stearic acid > cholesterol) have been revealed. The lipid accumulation induced by the three lipids could be rapidly consumed under lipid-less conditions, and the lipids with stearic acid were the most difficult to be consumed. The biological results could facilitate the understanding and treatment of lipid accumulation and obesity. Furthermore, utilizing the polarity increase of diethylamine after the reaction with CO2, the ratiometric detection of CO2 has been achieved for the first time with the probe.

Insights into kinetic and transfer mechanisms for alkaline decoupled water electrolysis based on distribution of relaxation times

Electrochemical water splitting is crucial for the decarbonization of industrial processes and the coupling of renewable energy sources. Evaluation of individual HER and OER contributions to the transfer process is essential for optimizing electrolysis system performance. This study uses nickel-cobalt layered double hydroxide (NiCo-LDH) as a solid-state redox mediator (SRM), achieving efficient H2 and O2 separation. This study provides an in-depth analysis of kinetic and ion/charge/mass transfer mechanisms linked to various characteristic impedances in alkaline decoupled water electrolysis (DWE) system by integrating Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) and Distribution of Relaxation Times (DRT) methods. The characteristic frequency evolution is consistent with the charge-discharge state of SRM and mass transfer frequency is related to the bubble size and gas diffusion rate of electrocatalysts at different current densities. The charge transfer Rct dominates the total polarization impedance in decoupled HER, and mass transfer Rm decreases remarkably in decoupled OER. OER shows lower Rct with Fe species existence and lower total polarization impedance than HER. Rm in decoupled HER increases by 38.24% and OER by 29.82% during prolonged decoupled test. This study provides valuable insights into the impedance contributions and kinetic mechanisms through novel electrolysis approaches, guiding further optimization of decoupled electrolyzer and electrode.
