Rapid sample delivery for megahertz serial crystallography at X-ray FELs

IUCrJ, 2018
Liquid microjets are a common means of delivering protein crystals to the focus of X-ray free-electron lasers (FELs) for serial femtosecond crystallography measurements.

Ground‐ and Excited‐State Mixed Valency in a 4,4′‐Bipyridine‐Bridged Bimetallic Di‐Ruthenium Complex

European Journal of Inorganic Chemistry, Volume 29, Issue 16, 4 June 2026.
Photoinduced mixed‐valence interactions across a 4,4′‐bpy bridge were studied. MLCT excited states in the bimetallic complex are longer‐lived than in the monometallic reference, thanks to metal–metal electronic coupling and hole delocalization, but are still shorter than the nanosecond timescale relevant for diffusional reactivity.

Serial femtosecond crystallography of soluble proteins in lipidic cubic phase

IUCrJ, 2015
Serial femtosecond crystallography (SFX) at X-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs) enables high-resolution protein structure determination using micrometre-sized crystals at room temperature with minimal effects from radiation damage.

Tuning the Photochemistry of Entatic State Model Systems

Zeitschrift für anorganische und allgemeine Chemie, Volume 652, Issue 9, 3 June 2026.
We present the photochemistry of the entatic state model [Cu(DMEGqu)2]+/2+, a copper guanidino‐quinoline complex pair. By transient IR and UV/Vis spectroscopy, we obtained the lifetimes of the different excited states. We show that the structural effect of the guanidine tunes the photochemistry of this entatic state model.

Comment on Photosystem II: light‐dependent oscillation of ligand composition at its active site: existence of O6 in S3‐state photosystem II revealed by omit maps

Acta Crystallographica Section D, Volume 82, Issue 6, Page 574-586, June 2026.
We reanalyzed our XFEL data, the results of which showed the insertion of O6 during the S2–S3 transition in water oxidation by photosystem II. These results contradict the interpretation proposed by Wang that there is no insertion of O6 during the S2–S3 transition.Photosystem II (PSII) catalyzes the light‐driven oxidation of water to molecular oxygen ...

Structural biology of ferritin nanocages

FEBS Letters, Volume 600, Issue 10, Page 1420-1443, May 2026.
Ferritin is a conserved iron‐storage protein that sequesters iron as a ferric mineral core within a nanocage, protecting cells from oxidative damage and maintaining iron homeostasis. This review discusses ferritin biology, structure, and function, and highlights recent cryo‐EM studies revealing mechanisms of ferritinophagy, cellular iron uptake, and ...

2D Nanomaterials Toward Function‐Ready Superlubricity in Advanced Microsystems

Advanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 27, 14 May 2026.
A unified framework links structural and transformation superlubricity with microsystem functions and deployment requirements. Mechanisms, device architectures, integration strategies, AI‐guided discovery, and benchmarking protocols are connected to define function‐ready superlubricity in advanced microsystems.

Quantum biology: From mechanisms to medicine

Clinical and Translational Medicine, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Quantum biology across systems: from mechanisms to medicine. This graphical abstract highlights how quantum phenomena‐coherence, tunnelling and spin dynamics‐shape fundamental biological processes and point towards quantum‐informed medicine. In photosynthesis, quantum coherence supports near‐lossless exciton transport across pigment–protein complexes ...

Critical point drying of brain tissue for X‐ray phase‐contrast imaging

Journal of Synchrotron Radiation, Volume 33, Issue 3, Page 759-768, May 2026.
X‐ray phase contrast tomography can efficiently image brain tissue at subcellular resolution. Critical point drying allows a gentle replacement of interstitial material by air, enhancing X‐ray phase contrast of the ultrastructural features.X‐ray phase‐contrast tomography can efficiently image brain tissue at subcellular resolution.
