The new frontier of microstructural impurity research in polar ice
Deciphering the localisation of solid and dissolved impurities on the micron-scale in glacial ice remains a challenge, but is critical to understand the integrity of ice core records and internal deformation.

An 8×8 pixel array IC for X-ray spectroscopy [PDF]
An integrated circuit providing 64 channels of low-noise signal processing electronics in an 8x8 pixel arrangement has been developed as part of an integrated silicon detector array for high count-rate x-ray spectroscopy applications. Each pixel features low-noise charge integration, programmable peaking time and gain, and an output driver.

Breast cancer remains a major cause of cancer death in women, frequently developing endocrine therapy resistance. This study demonstrates that upregulated p21‐activated kinase 1 (PAK1) activity drives resistance to tamoxifen and long‐term estrogen deprivation in ER+ breast cancer models.

NMR characterizations of the ice binding surface of an antifreeze protein. [PDF]
Antifreeze protein (AFP) has a unique function of reducing solution freezing temperature to protect organisms from ice damage. However, its functional mechanism is not well understood.

This study identifies somatostatin receptor 4 (Sstr4) as a critical tumor suppressor against skin and head/neck cancers (HNSCC, cSCC, and BCC). The loss of Sstr4 removes a check on cell growth, causing hyperactivation of the MAPK‐ERK signaling pathway (↑).

Single particle ICP-TOFMS on previously characterised EGRIP ice core samples: new approaches, limitations, and challenges [PDF]
Polar ice contains chemical impurities, which can be used as a proxy for the past climate, using state-of-the-art chemical methods. Despite its capability to access critical physicochemical parameters of insoluble particles, such as number concentration,

Disorder Analysis in Infrared Spectroscopy of Acetylene Ice
A new method to investigate disorder in ice films is proposed and applied to acetylene ice. It is based on a quantitative analysis of the infrared spectrum data, which includes: the Brendel-Bormann model for the material's dielectric function; molecular vibration modes calculated by density functional theory (DFT); a monomer-dimer model for amorphous ...

Broadband spectroscopy of astrophysical ice analogues
Context.Reliable, directly measured optical properties of astrophysical ice analogues in the infrared and terahertz (THz) range are missing from the literature. These parameters are of great importance to model the dust continuum radiative transfer in dense and cold regions, where thick ice mantles are present, and are necessary for the interpretation ...
