Uncovering the Lipid Interface in Neurotransmission: Single Molecule Measurements of Neurotransmitters Interacting with Membranes Reveal Species Dependent Membrane Binding

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Using single‐molecule whispering gallery mode sensors, neurotransmitter‐specific membrane binding signatures are measured that reveal intrinsically distinct interaction kinetics and orientations on a lipid membrane. Abstract Neurotransmitters (NTs) have traditionally been understood to act via aqueous‐phase receptor binding, but growing evidence ...

Investigating the Temperature Sensitivity of UV Line Ratios in the 280 nm Region of Solar-like Stars

The Astrophysical Journal
Stellar UV spectra are fundamental diagnostics of physical and magnetic properties of stars. For instance, lines like Mg ii at 280 nm serve as valuable indicators of stellar activity, providing insights into the activity levels of Sun-like stars and ...

Asteroseismology of Metal-poor Red Giants Observed by TESS

The Astrophysical Journal
Galactic archeology has long been limited by a lack of precise masses and ages for metal-poor stars in the Milky Way’s thick disk. However, with TESS providing a growing number of photometric observations, it is possible to calculate masses and ages for ...

Imperfection in Semiconductors Leading to High Performance Devices

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Crystalline perfection is typically pursued in semiconductors to enhance device performance. However, through modeling and experimental work, we show that defects can be strategically employed in a specific detection regime to increase sensitivity to extreme values. GaN diodes are demonstrated to effectively detect high‐energy proton beams at fluxes as

X-ray astronomy of stellar coronae [PDF]

, 2018
Abstract.: X-ray emission from stars in the cool half of the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram is generally attributed to the presence of a magnetic corona that contains plasma at temperatures exceeding 1 million K. Coronae are ubiquitous among these stars, yet many fundamental mechanisms operating in their magnetic fields still elude an interpretation ...

d‐Wave Fermi Surface Instability in the Nematic Phase of Two Monolayer FeSe/SrTiO3

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Angle‐resolved photoemission spectroscopy reveals a d‐wave nematic order in two‐monolayer FeSe/SrTiO3, showing degenerate dxz/dyz bands at Γ but a pronounced splitting at M. This momentum‐dependent anisotropy identifies the nematicity as a d‐wave Fermi surface (Pomeranchuk) instability, highlighting 2D FeSe as a model platform to explore the interplay ...

The Potential of Asteroseismology to Resolve the Blue Supergiant Problem

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
Despite major progress in our understanding of massive stars, concerning discrepancies still remain between observations and theory. Most notable are the numerous stars observed beyond the theoretical main sequence, an evolutionary phase expected to be ...

Evaluating the Resistance of Bifacial Perovskite Photodetectors to Xenon Ion Irradiation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Bifacial perovskite photodetectors maintain high efficiency and stability after 231 MeV xenon ion irradiation. Key photodetector parameters remain nearly unchanged at low fluence (1010 nucleons cm−2) and show only moderate degradation at high fluence (1011 nucleons cm−2), highlighting their strong radiation tolerance and suitability for optoelectronic ...
