Quantum-mechanical Suppression of Accretion by Primordial Black Holes

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
The Schwarzschild radii of primordial black holes (PBHs) in the mass range of 6 × 10 ^14 –4 × 10 ^19 g match the sizes of nuclei to atoms. I discuss the resulting quantum-mechanical suppression in the accretion of matter by PBHs in dense astrophysical ...

Unlock the Walnut: How a Pectin‐Rich Suture Tissue and Moisture‐Driven Crack Formation Induce Shell Splitting and Facilitate Seed Germination

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Walnut seeds are enclosed in a remarkably strong shell made of sclerenchyma, separated by a pectin‐rich suture tissue. Different cell shapes and chemical composition of this tissue point to an opening mechanism, which is triggered by cyclic humidity changes.

From Exciton Dynamics to Cell Fate: A Carbon Dot Based NIR Photocatalytic Platform for Pyroptosis via Self‐Trapped Excitons

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A facile and effective method to boost NIR light induced photocatalysis based on nontoxic NIR emissive carbon dots (nir‐CDs) via Self‐trapped excitons, showing that both O2− • and •OH can be generated from nir‐CDs under NIR laser irradiation. Abstract Near‐infrared (NIR) light‐triggered photocatalytic therapy remains a critical challenge in efficient ...

Accessing a New Population of Supermassive Black Holes with Extensions to the Event Horizon Telescope

The Astrophysical Journal
The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) has produced resolved images of the supermassive black holes (SMBHs) Sgr A* and M87*, which present the largest shadows on the sky.

Cryo‐EM of Rationally Designed Photosystem I Nanoassembly on Graphene Validates Orientation‐Driven Enhancement of Photocatalytic Performance

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The first cryo‐EM visualization and quantification of oriented Photosystem I (PSI) on single‐layer graphene is reported. Domain‐specific covalent anchoring of PSI, with the reducing side of the biophotocatalyst toward graphene, promotes three‐fold higher anodic photocurrent generation compared to a randomly physisorbed counterpart. This approach allows

Perturbations of massless external fields in a special Horndeski hairy black hole

European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields
In this paper, we study the propagations of external fields in a specific black hole solution in Horndeski theory, including the scalar field, electromagnetic field and Dirac field.
