Abstract

The increasing concentration of atmospheric CO₂ has prompted the development of efficient strategies for carbon capture and utilization. In this study, a novel bimetallic Cu-Zn/ZT metal-organic framework (MOF) was synthesized and evaluated for direct hydrogenation of CO₂ to methanol and ethanol at ambient temperature (30°C) and 1 atm. The Cu-Zn/ZT catalyst exhibited superior activity compared to monometallic analogs, achieving a CO₂ conversion of 12.5% with 78% selectivity toward methanol and 15% toward ethanol. Characterization revealed a highly crystalline framework, uniform mesoporosity (~1.2 nm), and synergistic Cu⁺/Zn²⁺ active sites that facilitate H₂ activation and CO₂ adsorption. The catalyst demonstrated good stability and reusability over five cycles, retaining high selectivity. These findings highlight the potential of rationally designed bimetallic MOFs for energy-efficient CO₂-to-liquid-fuel conversion under mild conditions, offering a promising route for sustainable carbon utilization

Abstract

This study aims to analyze recent developments in quantum supremacy by comparing the computational performance of stabilized superconducting qubit systems with classical supercomputing capabilities. A systematic literature review was conducted on major experimental studies published between 2019 and 2024, focusing on random circuit sampling, qubit stability, gate fidelity, and computational runtime comparisons. The analysis covers key quantum processors, including Sycamore and Zuchongzhi, by evaluating three main parameters: number of qubits, circuit complexity, and performance gap relative to classical simulation.The results show that quantum processors with 50–100 qubits and high gate fidelity are able to complete specific sampling tasks within seconds to hours, whereas equivalent classical simulations would require thousands to billions of years. The findings also indicate that computational advantage increases exponentially with system scale and is strongly influenced by qubit stability and error suppression techniques. Although the demonstrated tasks remain specialized and not yet applicable to practical problems, the evidence confirms that stabilized qubit systems have achieved a measurable computational regime beyond classical feasibility.This review provides a clear synthesis of current experimental achievements and highlights that future progress toward practical quantum advantage depends on improvements in error correction, scalability, and hardware reliability.

Abstract

The concept of a sterile human brain has recently been challenged by emerging evidence suggesting the presence of microbial DNA and components within brain tissue. This study aimed to investigate the presence and disease-specific patterns of microbial signatures in human brains affected by Alzheimer’s disease and depression, compared to healthy controls. Using 16S rRNA sequencing on post-mortem brain samples, we detected microbial DNA in all groups, with notable differences in diversity and composition. Alzheimer’s brains exhibited reduced microbial richness and were enriched in genera such as Cutibacterium and Streptococcus, which may contribute to neuroinflammation and amyloid aggregation. Depressive brains showed increased abundance of Eggerthella, potentially influencing neurotransmitter metabolism and systemic inflammatory pathways, while control brains had higher prevalence of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, consistent with neuroprotective roles. These findings support the emerging “brain microbiome” concept and suggest that low-abundance microbial communities may reflect disease-associated processes or interactions via the microbiota-gut-brain axis. While causality and microbial viability remain to be established, the study highlights the potential relevance of brain-associated microbes in neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders and provides a foundation for future experimental and translational research exploring microbiome-targeted diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
