Quasi-coherent micro-instabilities is one of the key topics of magnetic confinement fusion. This work focuses on the quasi-coherent spectra of ion temperature gradient(ITG) and trapped-electron-mode instabilities using newly developed far-forward collective scattering measurements within ohmic plasmas in the J-TEXT *** ITG mode is characterized by frequencies ranging from 30 to 100 k Hz and wavenumbers(k_(θρs)) less than 0.3. Beyond a critical plasma density threshold, the ITG mode undergoes a bifurcation, which is marked by a reduction in frequency and an enhancement in amplitude. Concurrently, enhancements in ion energy loss and degradation in confinement are observed. This ground-breaking discovery represents the first instance of direct experimental evidence that establishes a clear link between ITG instability and ion thermal transport.

High entropy alloys(HEAs), known for their synergistic orbital interactions among multiple elements, have been recognized as promising electrocatalysts for enhancing the sluggish kinetics of oxygen evolution reaction(OER). Despite their potential, the facile and rapid preparation of HEA nanoparticles(NPs) with high electrocatalytic activity remains challenging. Here, we report an ultrafast synthesis of noble-metal-free FeCoMnCuAl HEA NPs loaded on conductive carbon fiber networks using a Joule heating strategy. The prepared HEA NPs exhibited a face-centered cubic(FCC) structure with an average size of approximately 25 *** X-ray absorption fine structure(XAFS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) studies were performed to investigate the atomic and electronic structures of the HEA NPs, revealing the co-presence of Fe, Co, Mn, Cu and Al elements as well as their different valences across surface and internal regions. The HEA NPs showed remarkable OER performance, exhibiting an overpotential of 280 mV at 10 mA cm-2and a low Tafel slope of 76.13 mV dec-1in a 1.0 M KOH solution with high electrochemical stability, superior to commercial RuO2electrocatalysts. This work provides a new approach for synthesizing nanoscale noble-metal-free HEA electrocatalysts for clean energy conversion applications on a large-scale basis for practical commercialization.

Understanding the fundamental properties of actinide-based materials is pivotal in unlocking new solutions for challenges in nuclear waste management. In this work, we showcase a novel thorium cluster(Th-npc) that exhibits an extremely rare Th–N bond capping the square antiprismatic Th4+metal center. Remarkably, Th-npc exhibits both photochromic and radiochromic behaviors under UV and X-ray radiation, respectively, allowing for distinct, measurable colorimetric shifts that facilitate a redgreen-blue(RGB) radiation dosimetry method. The integration of Th-npc with a custom-built optoelectronic device enables onsite radiation dosimetry, offering the advantages of simple operation and rapid data acquisition. Additionally, this work pioneers the application of actinide materials in photothermal conversion, opening new avenues for the strategic utilization of thoriumbased compounds.
