RESUMEN
The transition metal kagome lattice materials host frustrated, correlated and topological quantum states of matter1-9. Recently, a new family of vanadium-based kagome metals, AV3Sb5 (A = K, Rb or Cs), with topological band structures has been discovered10,11. These layered compounds are nonmagnetic and undergo charge density wave transitions before developing superconductivity at low temperatures11-19. Here we report the observation of unconventional superconductivity and a pair density wave (PDW) in CsV3Sb5 using scanning tunnelling microscope/spectroscopy and Josephson scanning tunnelling spectroscopy. We find that CsV3Sb5 exhibits a V-shaped pairing gap Δ ~ 0.5 meV and is a strong-coupling superconductor (2Δ/kBTc ~ 5) that coexists with 4a0 unidirectional and 2a0 × 2a0 charge order. Remarkably, we discover a 3Q PDW accompanied by bidirectional 4a0/3 spatial modulations of the superconducting gap, coherence peak and gap depth in the tunnelling conductance. We term this novel quantum state a roton PDW associated with an underlying vortex-antivortex lattice that can account for the observed conductance modulations. Probing the electronic states in the vortex halo in an applied magnetic field, in strong field that suppresses superconductivity and in zero field above Tc, reveals that the PDW is a primary state responsible for an emergent pseudogap and intertwined electronic order. Our findings show striking analogies and distinctions to the phenomenology of high-Tc cuprate superconductors, and provide groundwork for understanding the microscopic origin of correlated electronic states and superconductivity in vanadium-based kagome metals.
RESUMEN
Construction of diatomic rotors, which is crucial for artificial nanomachines, remains challenging due to surface constraints and limited chemical design. Here we report the construction of diatomic Cr-Cs and Fe-Cs rotors where a Cr or Fe atom switches around a Cs atom at the Sb surface of the newly discovered kagome superconductor CsV3Sb5. The switching rate is controlled by the bias voltage between the rotor and scanning tunneling microscope (STM) tip. The spatial distribution of rates exhibits C2 symmetry, possibly linked to the symmetry-breaking charge orders of CsV3Sb5. We have expanded the rotor construction to include different transition metals (Cr, Fe, V) and alkali metals (Cs, K). Remarkably, designed configurations of rotors are achieved through STM manipulation. Rotor orbits and quantum states are precisely controlled by tuning the inter-rotor distance. Our findings establish a novel platform for the controlled fabrication of atomic motors on symmetry-breaking quantum materials, paving the way for advanced nanoscale devices.
RESUMEN
Landau quantization associated with the quantized cyclotron motion of electrons under magnetic field provides the effective way to investigate topologically protected quantum states with entangled degrees of freedom and multiple quantum numbers. Here we report the cascade of Landau quantization in a strained type-II Dirac semimetal NiTe2 with spectroscopic-imaging scanning tunneling microscopy. The uniform-height surfaces exhibit single-sequence Landau levels (LLs) at a magnetic field originating from the quantization of topological surface state (TSS) across the Fermi level. Strikingly, we reveal the multiple sequence of LLs in the strained surface regions where the rotation symmetry is broken. First-principles calculations demonstrate that the multiple LLs attest to the remarkable lifting of the valley degeneracy of TSS by the in-plane uniaxial or shear strains. Our findings pave a pathway to tune multiple degrees of freedom and quantum numbers of TMDs via strain engineering for practical applications such as high-frequency rectifiers, Josephson diode and valleytronics.
RESUMEN
Chlorophyll fluorescence is the long-wave light released by the residual energy absorbed by vegetation after photosynthesis and dissipation, which can directly and non-destructively reflect the photosynthetic state of plants from the perspective of the mechanism of photosynthetic process. Moso bamboo has a substantial carbon sequestration ability, and leaf-expansion stage is an important phenological period for carbon sequestration. Gross primary production (GPP) is a key parameter reflecting vegetation carbon sequestration process. However, the ability of chlorophyll fluorescence in moso bamboo to explain GPP changes is unclear. The research area of this study is located in the bamboo forest near the flux station of Anji County, Zhejiang Province, where an observation tower is built to monitor the carbon flux and meteorological change of bamboo forest. The chlorophyll fluorescence physiological parameters (Fp) and fluorescence yield (Fy) indices were measured and calculated for the leaves of newborn moso bamboo (I Du bamboo) and the old leaves of 4- to 5-year-old moso bamboo (â ¢ Du bamboo) during the leaf-expansion stage. The chlorophyll fluorescence in response to the environment and its effect on carbon flux were analyzed. The results showed that: Fv/Fm, Y(II) and α of â Du bamboo gradually increased, while â ¢ Du bamboo gradually decreased, and FYint and FY687/FY738 of â Du bamboo were higher than those of â ¢ Du bamboo; moso bamboo was sensitive to changes in air temperature(Ta), relative humidity(RH), water vapor pressure(E), soil temperature(ST) and soil water content (SWC), the Fy indices of the upper, middle and lower layers were significantly correlated with Ta, E and ST; single or multiple vegetation indices were able to estimate the fluorescence yield indices well (all with R2 greater than 0.77); chlorophyll fluorescence (Fp and Fy indices) of â Du bamboo and â ¢ Du bamboo could explain 74.4% and 72.7% of the GPP variation, respectively; chlorophyll fluorescence and normalized differential vegetation index of the canopy (NDVIc) could estimate GPP well using random forest (â Du bamboo: r = 0.929, RMSE = 0.069 g C·m-2; â ¢ Du bamboo: r = 0.899, RMSE = 0.134 g C·m-2). The results of this study show that chlorophyll fluorescence can provide a basis for judging the response of moso bamboo to environmental changes and can well explain GPP. This study has important scientific significance for evaluating the potential mechanisms of growth, stress feedback and photosynthetic carbon sequestration of bamboo.

Next-generation imaging systems require photodetectors with high sensitivity, polarization sensitivity, miniaturization, and integration. By virtue of their intriguing attributes, emerging 2D materials offer innovative avenues to meet these requirements. However, the current performance of 2D photodetectors is still below the requirements for practical application owing to the severe interfacial recombination, the lack of photoconductive gain, and insufficient photocarrier collection. Here, a tunneling dominant imaging photodetector based on WS2 /Te heterostructure is reported. This device demonstrates competitive performance, including a remarkable responsivity of 402 A W-1 , an outstanding detectivity of 9.28 × 1013 Jones, a fast rise/decay time of 1.7/3.2 ms, and a high photocurrent anisotropic ratio of 2.5. These outstanding performances can be attributed to the type-I band alignment with carrier transmission barriers and photoinduced tunneling mechanism, allowing reduced interfacial trapping effect, effective photoconductive gains, and anisotropic collection of photocarriers. Significantly, the constructed photodetector is successfully integrated into a polarized light imaging system and an ultra-weak light imaging system to illustrate the imaging capability. These results suggest the promising application prospect of the device in future imaging systems.
RESUMEN
Distinct hosts have been hypothesized to possess the potential for affecting species differentiation and genome evolution of parasitic organisms. However, what host shift history is experienced by the closely related parasites and whether disparate evolution of their genomes occur remain largely unknown. Here, we screened horizontal gene transfer (HGT) events in a pair of sister species of holoparasitic Boschniakia (Orobanchaceae) having obligate hosts from distinct families to recall the former host-parasite associations and performed a comparative analysis to investigate the difference of their organelle genomes. Except those from the current hosts (Ericaceae and Betulaceae), we identified a number of HGTs from Rosaceae supporting the occurrence of unexpected ancient host shifts. Different hosts transfer functional genes which changed nuclear genomes of this sister species. Likewise, different donors transferred sequences to their mitogenomes, which vary in size due to foreign and repetitive elements rather than other factors found in other parasites. The plastomes are both severely reduced, and the degree of difference in reduction syndrome reaches the intergeneric level. Our findings provide new insights into the genome evolution of parasites adapting to different hosts and extend the mechanism of host shift promoting species differentiation to parasitic plant lineages.

The development of circularly polarized thermally activated delayed fluorescence (CP-TADF) luminogens with stimuli-response characteristics remains challenging. Herein, a pair of organic enantiomers, S-CzTA and R-CzTA, with aggregation-induced emission properties, have been successfully developed by introducing chiral 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene and carbazole to phthalimide. They present CP-TADF properties in toluene solutions, giving dissymmetric factors of 0.84×10-3 and -1.03×10-3 , respectively. In the crystalline state, both S-CzTA and R-CzTA can emit intense blue TADF and produce very bright sky-blue mechanoluminescence (ML) and remarkable mechanofluorochromism (MFC) under the stimuli of mechanical force. Single-crystal analysis and theoretical calculation results suggest that their ML activities are probably associated with their chiral and polar molecular structures and unique non-centrosymmetric molecular packing modes. Furthermore, the MFC properties of the enantiomers likely originate from the destruction of crystal structure, leading to the planarization of molecular conformation. This work may provide helpful guidance for developing new CP-TADF materials with force-stimuli-responsive properties.

A endospore-forming bacterium, designated strain KQZ6P-2T, was isolated from surface-sterilized bark of the mangrove plant Kandelia candel, collected from Maowei Sea Mangrove Nature Reserve in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China. Strain KQZ6P-2T was able to grow at NaCl concentrations in the range of 0-3â% (w/v) with optimum growth at 0-1â% (w/v) NaCl. Growth occurred at 20-42 °C (optimal growth at 30-37 °C) and pH 5.5-6.5 (optimal growth at pH 6.5). The 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity between strain KQZ6P-2T and its closest phylogenetic neighbour Paenibacillus chibensis JCM 9905T was 98.2â%. Phylogenetic analyses using 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain KQZ6P-2T formed a distinct lineage with Paenibacillus chibensis JCM 9905T. The draft genome of strain KQZ6P-2T was 5â937â633 bp in size and its DNA G+C content was 47.2mol%. Comparative genome analysis revealed that the average nucleotide identity, digital DNA-DNA hybridization and average amino acid identity values among strain KQZ6P-2T and its related species were below the cut-off levels of 95, 70 and 95.5%, respec-tively. The cell-wall peptidoglycan of strain KQZ6P-2T contained meso-diaminopimelic acid as the diagnostic diamino acid. Major cellular fatty acids were anteiso-C15:0 and C16:0. The polar lipids comprised diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, two unidentified aminophospholipids, four unidentified phospholipids, an unidentified aminolipid and five unidentified lipids. Based on phylogenetic, phenotypic and chemotaxonomic data, strain KQZ6P-2T represents a novel species of the genus Paenibacillus, for which the name Paenibacillus mangrovi sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is KQZ6P-2T (=MCCC 1K07172T =JCM 34931T).

MOF/inorganic nanocomposites combine the advantages of each component. Herein, two MOF/metal selenite nanocomposites, Co-NH2-BDC/CoSeO3·H2O and Co-BDC/CoSeO3·H2O, are prepared on nickel foam through a facile two-step hydrothermal method, which inherit the 2D morphology and porosity properties of their MOF precursors. Furthermore, during the electrochemical activation process, the crystallized nanocomposites can easily transform into amorphous structures in a short time of 20 min in the presence of an electric field, similar to CoSeO3·H2O. Due to amorphization, the electrochemical performance of the two nanocomposites is much enhanced relative to that of their MOF precursors. Specifically, the areal capacitances of Co-NH2-BDC/CoSeO3·H2O and Co-BDC/CoSeO3·H2O are 5.35 and 10.65 F·cm-2 at 2 mA·cm-2, respectively. The assembled asymmetric supercapacitor (ASC) using Co-NH2-BDC/CoSeO3·H2O as positive electrodes delivers an energy density of 0.207 mWh·cm-2 at a power density of 0.799 mW·cm-2 with outstanding cycling stability (93% capacity retention after 5000 cycles). Using Co-BDC/CoSeO3·H2O as positive electrodes, the ASC can reach a high energy density of 0.483 mWh·cm-2 at a power density of 0.741 mW·cm-2 and 84% capacity retention after 5000 cycles. This work provides an efficient strategy for constructing MOF/metal selenite nanocomposites for energy storage and conversion.
RESUMEN
The uncontrolled zinc dendrite growth during plating leads to quick battery failure, which hinders the widespread applications of aqueous zinc-ion batteries. The growth of Zn dendrites is often promoted by the "tip effect". In this work, we propose a generate strategy to eliminate the "tip effect" by utilizing the electrostatic shielding effect, which is achieved by coating Zn anodes with magnetron sputtered Al-based alloy protective layers. The Al can form a surface insulating Al2O3 layer and by manipulating the Al content of Zn-Al alloy films, we are able to control the strength of the electrostatic shield, therefore realizing a long lifespan of Zn anodes up to 3000 h at a practical operating condition of 1.0 mA cm-2 and 1.0 mAh cm-2. In addition, the concept can be extended to other Al-based systems such as Ti-Al alloy and achieve enhanced stability of Zn anodes, demonstrating the generality and efficacy of our strategy.
RESUMEN
In this work, an efficient polymer-based organic afterglow system, which shows reversible photochromism, switchable ultralong organic phosphorescence (UOP), and prominent water and chemical resistance simultaneously, has been developed for the first time. By doping phenoxazine (PXZ) and 10-ethyl-10H-phenoxazine (PXZEt) into epoxy polymers, the resulting PXZ@EP-0.25 % and PXZEt@EP-0.25 % films show unique photoactivated UOP properties, with phosphorescence quantum yields and lifetimes up to 10.8 % and 845â ms, respectively. It is found that the steady-state luminescence and UOP of PXZ@EP-0.25 % are switchable by light irradiation and thermal annealing. Moreover, the doped films can still produce conspicuous UOP after soaking in water, strong acid and base, and organic solvents for more than two weeks, exhibiting outstanding water and chemical resistance. Inspired by these exciting results, the PXZ@EP-0.25 % has been successfully exploited as an erasable transparent film for light printing.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Orobanchaceae is the only flowering plant family with species from free-living nonparasite, hemi-parasite to holoparasite, making it an ideal system for studying the evolution of parasitism. However, both plastid and mitochondrial genome have been sequenced in only few parasitic species in Orobanchaceae. Therefore, further comparative study is wanted to investigate the impact of holoparasitism on organelle genomes evolution between close relatives. Here, we sequenced organelle genomes and transcriptome of holoparasitic Christisonia kwangtungensis and compared it with its closely related groups to analyze similarities and differences in adaption strategies to the holoparasitic lifestyle. RESULTS: The plastid genome of C. kwangtungensis has undergone extensive pseudogenization and gene loss, but its reduction pattern is different from that of Aeginetia indica, the close relative of C. kwangtungensis. Similarly, the gene expression detected in the photosynthetic pathway of these two genera is different. In Orobanchaceae, holoparasites in Buchnereae have more plastid gene loss than Rhinantheae, which reflects their longer history of holoparasitism. Distinct from severe degradation of the plastome, protein-coding genes in the mitochondrial genome of C. kwangtungensis are relatively conserved. Interestingly, besides intracellularly transferred genes which are still retained in its plastid genome, we also found several horizontally transferred genes of plastid origin from diverse donors other than their current hosts in the mitochondrial genome, which probably indicate historical hosts. CONCLUSION: Even though C. kwangtungensis and A. indica are closely related and share severe degradation of plastome, they adapt organelle genomes to the parasitic lifestyle in different ways. The difference between their gene loss and gene expression shows they ultimately lost photosynthetic genes but through different pathways. Our study exemplifies how parasites part company after achieving holoparasitism.

Rechargeable zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) have shown great potential as an alternative to lithium-ion batteries. The ZIBs utilize Zn metal as the anode, which possesses many advantages such as low cost, high safety, eco-friendliness, and high capacity. However, on the other hand, the Zn anode also suffers from many issues, including dendritic growth, corrosion, and passivation. These issues are largely related to the surface and interface properties of the Zn anode. Many efforts have therefore been devoted to the modification of the Zn anode, aiming to eliminate the above-mentioned problems. This review gives a comprehensive summary on the mechanism behind these issues as well as the recent progress on Zn anode modification with focus on the strategies of surface and interface engineering, covering the design and application of both the Zn anode supports and surface protective layers, along with abundant examples. In addition, the promising research directions and perspective on these strategies are also presented.

ABSTRACT: Huang, Z-H, Ma, CZ-H, Wang, L-K, Wang, X-Y, Fu, S-N, and Zheng, Y-P. Real-time visual biofeedback via wearable ultrasound imaging can enhance the muscle contraction training outcome of young adults. J Strength Cond Res 36(4): 941-947, 2022-Real-time ultrasound imaging (RUSI) can serve as visual biofeedback to train deep muscle contraction in clinical rehabilitative settings. However, its effectiveness in resistance training in sports/fitness fields remains unexplored. This article introduced a newly developed wearable RUSI system that provided visual biofeedback of muscle thickening and movement and reported its effectiveness in improving the training outcomes of muscle thickness change (%) during dynamic contraction. Twenty-five healthy young men participated and performed pec fly exercise both with and without RUSI biofeedback. Statistical analysis was conducted to examine the reliability of the measurements and the immediate effects of (a) RUSI biofeedback of muscle contraction and (b) training intensity (50 vs. 80% of 1-repetition maximum [1RM]) on the pectoralis major (PMaj) thickness change measured by ultrasound images. In addition to significantly high inter-contraction reliability (ICC3,1 > 0.97), we observed significantly increased PMaj thickness change for both training intensities upon receiving biofeedback in subjects, compared with without biofeedback (p < 0.001). We also observed significantly larger PMaj thickness change at 80% of 1RM compared with 50% of 1RM (p = 0.023). The provision of visual biofeedback using RUSI significantly enlarged the magnitude of PMaj thickness change during pec fly exercises, potentially indicating that RUSI biofeedback could improve the ability of targeted muscle contraction of PMaj in healthy young adults. To our knowledge, this study has pioneered in applying RUSI as a form of biofeedback during weight training and observed positive effectiveness. Future iterations of the technique will benefit more subject groups, such as athletes and patients with neuromuscular disorders.

For urban traffic, traffic accidents are the most direct and serious risk to people's lives, and rapid recognition and warning of traffic accidents is an important remedy to reduce their harmful effects. However, research scholars are often confronted with the problem of scarce and difficult-to-collect accident data resources for traffic accident scenarios. Therefore, in this paper, a traffic data generation model based on Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) is developed. To make GAN applicable to non-graphical data, we improve the generator network structure of the model and used the generated model to resample the original data to obtain new traffic accident data. By constructing an adversarial neural network model, we generate a large number of data samples that are similar to the original traffic accident data. Results of the statistical test indicate that the generated samples are not significantly different from the original data. Furthermore, the experiments of traffic accident recognition with several representative classifiers demonstrate that the augmented data can effectively enhance the performance of accident recognition, with a maximum increase in accuracy of 3.05% and a maximum decrease in the false positive rate of 2.95%. Experimental results verify that the proposed method can provide reliable mass data support for the recognition of traffic accidents and road traffic safety.

This paper discloses a transition metal-free selective C-H dithiocarbamation of drug skeletons using disulfiram (DSF) in the presence of KI/K2S2O8 in DMF/H2O. Drug skeletons, including 5-aminopyrazoles, indoles, pyrroloquinoline, and Julolidine, underwent C-H dithiocarbamation smoothly to afford a variety of drug-like molecules in moderate to good yields. It was found that the in situ formed 5-aminopyrazole iodide is the key intermediate for the dithiocarbamation. Bioassay results show that some of these N-heterocyclic dithiocarbamate derivatives exhibit good antifungal activity against Colletotrichum gloeosprioides and Fusarium oxysporum, F. proliferatum, Fusarium solani, Geotrichum candidum, Penicillium digitatum, Penicillium italicum, Phyricularia grisea.
