Flip Angle Errors in Actual Flip Angle Imaging Using Polyvinylpyrrolidone/Water-Based Phantoms. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Purpose The aim of this work is to report and investigate unexpected errors in actual flip angle imaging (AFI) applied to phantom fillings based on polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). Methods Flip angle maps of PVP/water mixtures with different PVP ratios were acquired at 3 T and 7 T using a 3D cartesian AFI. The influence of spoiling was investigated

N-Heterocyclic Carbenes on a III-V Semiconductor: From Chain Formation to Ordered Monolayers. [PDF]
The functionalization of GaAs, a model III‐V semiconductor, with N‐heterocyclic carbenes is demonstrated in a multidisciplinary experimental and theoretical approach. In this way, ordered monolayers consisting of chains of molecules binding covalently to the surface are obtained, which are found to strongly modify the surface properties as evident from

Capacitive photocharging of gold nanorods [PDF]
Light can charge plasmonic nanoparticles by photoredox reactions, significantly modifying their optical and chemical properties. However, the charging process has been challenging to track experimentally, severely hindering its thorough evaluation.

Is Phenylnitrene a Missing Link in the Formation of Polycyclic Aromatic Nitrogen Heterocycles? [PDF]
A new formation pathway for polycyclic aromatic nitrogen heterocycles (PANHs) has been found. The reaction of phenylnitrene and the propargyl radical leads to quinoline, proving that nitrenes are suitable precursors for nitrogen incorporation mechanisms.

A multiscale <i>in situ</i> time-resolved study of the nano- to millisecond structural dynamics during protein crystallization. [PDF]
Protein crystallization is a crucial method for structure determination and biological studies, but its pathways remain poorly understood, often relying on trial and error to initiate crystallization. Using a multitechnique approach, this study investigates structural and diffusion properties across various time and length scales to compare different ...

Mitigating Mobile-Ion-Induced Instabilities and Performance Losses in 2D Passivated Perovskite Solar Cells. [PDF]
This study addresses the challenges of mobile‐ion‐induced instability in perovskite solar cells. Introducing bilayer passivation with ammonium salts (EDAI₂/PEAI and ABS/PEAI) significantly reduces ion density and improves device stability. The approach mitigates the detrimental effects of PEAI‐induced ionic losses, enhancing both performance and ...

Eduard Heis, an early pioneer in meteor research [PDF]
At the beginning of the 19th century, meteor observations were not well established. One of its pioneers, who observed meteors on a regular basis, was Eduard Heis in Münster, Germany. We summarise the life of this scientist.

Les tables de réfraction astronomique
The paper investigates the refraction as it concerns position astronomy and the attempts of generations of astronomers since Tycho Brahe to estimate its size as a function of the apparent zenith distance of the sources.

L’enfant merveilleux chez Héraclite d’Ephèse
Dans la phrase marquée DK22 B52, Héraclite décrit un enfant jouant avec de petits objets (pessoi). Le garçon a tout un royaume à sa disposition et il est identifié lui-même avec l’éon.
