Structural Colors from Modulated Topological Defects in Molecular Smectic Liquid Crystals

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Rather than using dyes and pigments, nature produces the colors of some butterflies and beetles through optical interference phenomena. This study describes an original biomimetic strategy exploiting the spontaneous formation of modulated linear defects in thin films of 8CB, a common molecular liquid crystal.

SN 2023vbg: A Type IIn Supernova Resembling SN 2009ip, with a Long-duration Precursor and Early-time Bump

The Astrophysical Journal
Type IIn supernovae (SNe) resembling SN 2009ip (09ip-like SNe) originate from the interaction between circumstellar material (CSM) and the ejecta. This subclass not only shares similar observational properties around the maximum but is also commonly ...

Probing Electrocatalyst Design for Product Selectivity in CO2 Reduction

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Selective CO2 electroreduction is controlled by catalyst structure, dynamic surface reconstruction, adsorbate interactions, and reaction microenvironment. This review summarizes Cu‐ and non‐Cu‐based catalysts, single‐atom and molecular systems, degradation pathways, and operando/computational strategies for steering CO2RR toward hydrocarbons ...

Detecting the 21 cm Signal from the Cosmic Dark Ages

The Astrophysical Journal
The cosmic “dark ages” is the period between the last scattering of the cosmic microwave background and the appearance of the first luminous sources, spanning redshifts 1100 ≳  z  ≳ 30.

Human Foetal Neuroblasts Exhibit BK Channel‐Dependent Membrane Voltage Oscillations upon Depolarization

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Primary cultures of neuroblasts isolated from the nucleus basalis of Meynert of 12‐weeks‐old human foetuses were prepared. Whole‐cell patch‐clamp recordings were performed by injecting a depolarizing stimulus current (+500 pA; 500 ms), and the membrane voltage recorded; this stimulus current evoked periodic‐like oscillations in membrane voltage ...
