Magnetosensitivity of tightly bound radical pairs in cryptochrome is enabled by the quantum Zeno effect by Matt C. J. Denton, Luke D. Smith, Wenhao Xu, Jodeci Pugsley, Amelia Toghill, Daniel R. Kattnig

“…Traditionally, magnetic field sensitivity in this mechanism is attributed to radical pairs with weakly interacting, well-separated electrons; closely bound pairs were considered unresponsive to weak fields due to arrested spin dynamics. In this study, we challenge this view by examining the FAD-superoxide radical pair within cryptochrome, a protein hypothesised to function as a biological magnetosensor. …”

Blue photoluminescence from active carboxyl adatoms on nanoporous anodic alumina films by Sam Yeon Cho, Kangmo Yeo, Jin Woo Kim, Jin Ho Kwak, Deok-Yong Cho, Jae Hyuck Jang, Sukmin Jeong, Yong Chan Choi, Sang Don Bu

“…Abstract Nanoporous anodic alumina (nPAA) films formed on aluminum in lower aliphatic carboxylic acids exhibit blue self-coloring and characteristic properties such as photoluminescence (PL), electroluminescence, and electron spin resonance. The blue colors are seemingly originated from the adsorbed radicals incorporating into the oxide during the aluminum anodization. …”

Numerical and Experimental Study of Friction Damping Blade Attachments of Rotating Bladed Disks by D. Charleux, C. Gibert, F. Thouverez, J. Dupeux

“…Nonlinear behavior observed experimentally at resonances was well reproduced and an acceptable correlation was found with experimental resonant frequencies, amplitudes, and amount of damping throughout the spinning speed and excitation level range. The proposed numerical method can therefore serve to enhance the prediction of the alternating stresses in bladed disk assemblies.…”

Synthesis of Specifically Modified Oligonucleotides for Application in Structural and Functional Analysis of RNA by Nico Rublack, Hien Nguyen, Bettina Appel, Danilo Springstubbe, Denise Strohbach, Sabine Müller

“…In particular, we report on the synthesis of 5′-O-dimethoxytrityl-2′-O-tert-butyldimethylsilyl protected 3′-O-phosphoramidites of nucleosides that carry amino linkers of different lengths and flexibility at the heterocyclic base, their incorporation in a variety of RNAs, and postsynthetic conjugation with fluorescent dyes and nitroxide spin labels. Further, we show the synthesis of a flavine mononucleotide-N-hydroxy-succinimidyl ester and its conjugation to amino functionalized RNA.…”

Effect of Al~2~O~3~ Passivation on Structured Si/PEDOT:PSS Hybrid Solar Cell by Sameer Alghanmi, Khalid Alshammari

“…The deposited Al~2~O~3~ thin layer provides better wettability of PEDOT:PSS compared to native oxide, which minimizes pores, and pin-hole density usually occurs in spin-coating process. Additionally, Al~2~O~3~ thin layer acts as an electron-blocking and hole-transporting layer, resulting in an effective charge separation as well as transport, which boosts the power conversion efficiency. …”
