This study examined the role of intermittent illumination/dark conditions coupled with MnO2-ammendments to regulate the mobility of As and Fe in flooded arsenic-enriched soils. Addition of MnO2 particles with intermittent illumination led to a pronounced increase in the reductive-dissolution of Fe(III) and As(V) from flooded soils compared to a cor...

© 2020 The Authors The electrolysis of HCl to form Cl2 is an integral part of the production of polycarbonates and polyurethanes. In recent years, the direct gas-phase electrolysis was shown to be significantly more efficient than the current state-of-the-art process based on the oxidation of hydrochloric acid. Still, three phenomena significantly ...

Foraging is essential for honey bee colony fitness and is enhanced by the waggle dance, a recruitment behavior in which bees can communicate food location and quality. We tested if the consumption of nectar (sucrose solution) with a field-realistic concentration of 4 ppm flupyradifurone (FPF) could alter foraging behavior and recruitment dancing in...

Inhomogeneous strain may develop in hybrid organic metal-halide perovskite thin films due to thermal expansion mismatch with a fabrication substrate, polycrystallinity or even light soaking. Measuring these spatially varying strains is difficult but of prime importance for understanding the effects on carrier mobility, non-radiative recombination, ...

Density functional theory was employed in order to elucidate the mechanism and factors that lead to the observed regioselectivity in the dialkylbiarylphosphine (Phos)/Pd-catalyzed C-C cleavage/cross-coupling of an N-fused bicyclo α-hydroxy-β-lactam, 1. We have identified that (a) a complex [(1)(Cs2CO3)]-PdL(PhBr) forms prior to a "base-mediated oxi...

The structure of MX3 transition metal trichalcogenides (TMTs, with M a transition metal and X a chalcogen) is typified by one-dimensional (1D) chains weakly bound together via van der Waals interactions. This structural motif is common across a range of M and X atoms (e.g., NbSe3, HfTe3,TaS3), but not all M and X combinations are stable. We report ...

Protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks are fundamental for cellular processes. Small-molecule PPI enhancers have been shown to be powerful tools to fundamentally study PPIs and as starting points for potential new therapeutics. Yet, systematic approaches for their discovery are not widely available, and the design prerequisites of "molecular gl...

Super-concentrated "water-in-salt" electrolytes recently spurred resurgent interest for high energy density aqueous lithium-ion batteries. Thermodynamic stabilization at high concentrations and kinetic barriers towards interfacial water electrolysis significantly expand the electrochemical stability window, facilitating high voltage aqueous cells. ...

Lithium phosphorus oxynitride (LiPON) is an amorphous solid-state lithium ion conductor displaying exemplary cyclability against lithium metal anodes. There is no definitive explanation for this stability due to the limited understanding of the structure of LiPON. Herein, we provide a structural model of RF-sputtered LiPON. Information about the sh...
