Enhancing CO2 Electroreduction Precision to Ethylene and Ethanol: The Role of Additional Boron Catalytic Sites in Cu‐Based Tandem Catalysts by Fuqing Yu, Minxing Shu, Guangyao Zhang, Qiming Yu, Hongming Wang

“…This study shows that incorporating elemental boron (B) into copper (Cu) catalysts provides additional adsorption sites for *CO intermediates, enhancing the selectivity of desirable C2+ products. Additionally, using a nickel single‐atom catalyst (Ni‐SAC) as a *CO source increases local *CO concentration and reduces the hydrogen evolution reaction. …”

Calculation of the main operational characteristics of a tethered high-altitude ship-based system by I. I. Dawlyud

“…The long-term operation of UAVs on ships can be ensured by tethered high-altitude systems in which the power supply of engines and equipment is provided from the onboard energy source through a thin cable tether. This paper aims to select and justify the appearance of such system, as well as to calculate the required performance characteristics.Methods. …”

Mito Stress Assay of PBMCs With Seahorse XFe96 Flux Analyzer and Comparison of Poly-D-Lysine and Poly-L-Lysine for Cell Affinity by Kumudu Subasinghe, R. Berry III, Megan Rowe, Ali Winters, Shaohua Yang, Nicole Phillips

“…Recent studies have suggested that these cell populations provide an overview of systemic changes within the body and therefore provide a source of sensitive biomarkers. Assessing mitochondrial function in PBMCs has been shown to provide an indication of metabolic stress associated with diseases such as diabetes and neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease. …”

Wave-packet manipulation of He Rydberg states by a seeded free-electron laser by Mathieu Dumergue, Paolo Antonio Carpeggiani, Tamás Csizmadia, Miltcho Danailov, Alexander Demidovich, Giovanni De Ninno, Michele Di Fraia, Per Eng-Johnsson, Dominik Ertel, Hikaru Fujise, Mizuho Fushitani, Luca Giannessi, Harshitha Nandiga Gopalakrishna, Akiyoshi Hishikawa, Heide Ibrahim, Sergei Kühn, Francois Légaré, Yu Luo, Praveen Kumar Maroju, Johan Mauritsson, Matteo Moioli, Anna Olofsson, Jasper Peschel, Oksana Plekan, Stephen T. Pratt, Lorenzo Raimondi, Primož Rebernik Ribič, Shu Saito, Giuseppe Sansone, Ronak Shah, Emma R. Simpson, Daehyun You, Marco Zangrando, Carlo Callegari, Kiyoshi Ueda, Kevin C. Prince

“…The He atoms were postionized by infrared (IR) pulses, and the ion yield was measured as a function of XUV phase and IR arrival time. We tagged and sorted the relative phase of the XUV pulse pair on a single-shot basis by fitting each FEL spectrum with a suitable function that accounts for nonidealities of the XUV pulse pairs, associated with the seeding process; more generally, the fit returns the time-dependent electric field of the FEL spectra. …”
