Fundamental study on optical performance of low-melting-point metal mirrors for space telescopes

open access: yesResults in Optics, 2023
The installation of telescopes with larger primary mirrors in outer space is required for the study of the early universe. However, the shipping, assembling and maintenance of the primary mirror are technical challenges.

CONSTRUCTION OF A PARABOLIC SOLAR COLLECTOR AND COMPARATIVE STUDY OF THE PERFORMANCE OF ALUMINUM-COATED PELLICLE FILM AND ALUMINUM FOIL AS REFLECTING SURFACES [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Sustainable Energy, 2020
Most of the concentrators used in solar thermal systems are made from mirrors or metals with mirror or other highly reflective surfaces. Because mirror is the best reflecting surface for solar collectors and parabolic mirrors are expensive, people in the

Optical magnetic mirrors without metals

open access: yesOptica, 2014
The reflection of an optical wave from a metal, arising from strong interactions between the optical electric field and the free carriers of the metal, is accompanied by a phase reversal of the reflected electric field. A far less common route to achieve high reflectivity exploits strong interactions between the material and the optical magnetic field ...

The Mirrors from Nur-Tukhum

open access: yesПоволжская археология, 2019
Two mirrors which were unearthed in 2016–2017 on the Nur-Tukhum archaeological complex are analyzed in the paper. The first finding is represented by a fragment of a Chinese bronze mirror of the TLV type, originating from the Xiongnu burial, the second ...

Reconstructing enzyme evolution by protein engineering

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Natural enzyme evolution can be retraced by protein engineering methods such as directed evolution, rational design, and ancestral sequence reconstruction. These approaches reveal how enzymes emerged from ligand‐binding scaffolds, developed varying substrate preferences, formed oligomeric complexes, adapted to environmental changes, and evolved novel ...

Evolutionarily divergent DUF4465 domains have a common vitamin B12‐binding function

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
We show that DUF4465 family proteins, widespread across bacteria from gut microbiomes, hydrothermal vents, and soil, share a common vitamin B12‐binding function. These augmented β‐jellyroll proteins bind vitamin B12 via extended loops. Our findings establish sequence‐diverse DUF4465 proteins as a widespread class of B12‐binding proteins, highlighting ...
