Visualizing stepwise evolution of carbon hybridization from sp 3 to sp 2 and to sp by Wei Xiong, Guang Zhang, De-Liang Bao, Jianchen Lu, Lei Gao, Yusen Li, Hui Zhang, Zilin Ruan, Zhenliang Hao, Hong-Jun Gao, Long Chen, Jinming Cai

“…Utilizing scanning probing microscopy, we distinguish three distinct carbon-carbon bond types within polymers induced by annealing at elevated temperatures. Density-functional-theory calculations unveil the pivotal role of the electron-withdrawing cyano group in activating neighboring methylene to form C(sp 3 )–C(sp 3 ) bonds, and in facilitating subsequent stepwise HCN eliminations to realize the transformation across three carbon-carbon bond types. …”

Universal relations and bounds for fluctuations in quasistatic small heat engines by Kosuke Ito, Guo-Hua Xu, Chao Jiang, Édgar Roldán, Raúl A. Rica-Alarcón, Ignacio A. Martínez, Gentaro Watanabe

“…Our results show that, in the quasistatic limit, higher-order statistics of a small engine’s energetics depend solely on the ratio between the temperatures of the thermal baths. We further prove that our result for the second moment gives universal bounds for the ratio between the variances of work and heat for quasistatic cycles. …”
