The influence of star clusters on galactic disks: new insights on star-formation in galaxies

, 2008
Stars form in embedded star clusters which play a key role in determining the properties of a galaxy's stellar population. Physical mechanisms discussed in this paper are runaway stars shot out from young clusters, binary-star disruption in clusters, gas

Halide‐Exchange Arrest Enables Reabsorption‐Free CsPbCl3/CsPbI3 Perovskite Core/Shell Nanocrystals

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Achieving large Stokes shifts in perovskite nanocrystals is challenging due to halide mobility that disrupts stable core–shell structures. Using CdCl2 passivation, this work stabilizes CsPbCl3/CsPbI3 heterostructures, yielding a ≈1.2 eV Stokes shift, high quantum yield, and fast exciton transfer, enabling reabsorption‐free emitters for advanced ...

Engineering Fluoroacetate Dehalogenase by Growth‐Based Selections on Non‐Natural Organofluorides

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
We present a high‐throughput selection system to engineer fluoroacetate dehalogenases (FAcDs). By challenging E. coli populations that produce diverse FAcD libraries to grow on non‐natural organofluorides as their sole carbon source, we isolated a panel of FAcD variants with improved activity and altered substrate specificity.

Combining Ability for Grain Yield and Popping Expansion in Popcorn (Zea mays everta) Hybrids

Turkish Journal of Agriculture: Food Science and Technology
The poor yield and popping quality underscore the need for indigenous germplasm improvement. This study aimed to find parents with high general combining ability (GCA) and specific combining ability (SCA) for yield and popping traits.

Two‐Dimensional La2CoO4 Perovskite Oxide Enabled by Phonon‐Resonance‐Driven Exfoliation for High‐Performance Gas Sensing

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Few‐layer La2CoO4 nanosheets are produced via phonon‐resonance‐assisted cleavage of the rock‐salt layers in the Ruddlesden‐Popper structure under the 20 kHz resonance condition, enabling controlled exfoliation into ultrathin sheets. The nanosheets show improved gas‐sensing capability, delivering an 86.67% response to 1 ppm NO2 at room temperature ...

Proximity Engineering of Fe‒N4 Twins for Oriented Generation of Singlet Oxygen for Hospital Wastewater Treatment

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Precise modulation of Fe–N4 site distances constructs spin‐regulated Fe–N4 twins, triggering a volcano‐type Fenton‐like activity and promoting oriented singlet oxygen generation. The twin‐site catalyst enables highly selective and efficient hospital wastewater purification with simultaneous pharmaceutical degradation and disinfection under low ...

Generation and Evaluation of Modified Opaque-2 Popcorn Suggests a Route to Quality Protein Popcorn

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Introducing traits from dent corn to popcorn is challenging because it is difficult to recover adequate popping characteristics. QPM (Quality Protein Maize) is a dent corn variety carrying the opaque-2 (o2) mutation, specifying increased amounts of ...
