TL;DR: The enhancement in the dielectric properties suggests that the strategy for optimizing a ceramic solid solution enables the design of better high- performance capacitors and should be generalizable for designing high-performance dielectrics and other functional materials that benefit from nanoscale domain structure manipulation.

TL;DR: The local structure-sequence features reflect discriminative and conserved characteristics of miRNAs, and the successful ab initio classification of real and pseudo pre-miRNAs opens a new approach for discovering new mi RNAs.

TL;DR: A mesoscale mechanism is proposed to reveal the origin of the high piezoelectricity in relaxor ferroelectrics, where the polar nanoregions aligned in a ferroelectric matrix can facilitate polarization rotation.

TL;DR: The newly developed capacitor exhibits a wide temperature usage range of -60 to 120 °C, with an energy-density variation of less than 10%, and satisfactory cycling reliability, with degradation of more than 8% over 106 cycles demonstrate that the NBT-0.45SBT multilayer ceramic is a promising candidate for high-power energy storage applications.

TL;DR: Rare-earth doping is identified as a general strategy for introducing local structural heterogeneity in order to enhance the piezoelectricity of relaxor ferroelectric crystals.
