Abstract To interpret and transmit biological signals, proteins use correlated motions. Experimental determination of these dynamics and the structural distributions they generate remains a key challenge. Here, using 114...

Two Cu(II) complexes with cyanoguanidine (cnge) and o-phenanthroline, [Cu(o-phen)2(cnge)](NO3)2 · 2H2O (1) and [Cu(o-phen)(cnge)(H2O)(NO3)2] (2), have been synthesized using different experimental techniques and charact...

Two-dimensional (2D) layered materials without centrosymmetry, such as GaSe, have emerged as promising novel optical materials due to large second-order nonlinear susceptibilities. However, their nonlinear responses are ...

The infrared (IR) optical transmittance of the liquid phase epitaxy (LPE) mono-crystalline p-type MCT (Hg1-xCdxTe (x » 0.28)) layers grown on (111) surface of dielectric single crystal substrates CZT (Cd0.96Zn0.04Te) ha...

Liquid crystalline polyurethanes (LCPUs), having azobenzene mesogenic groups, formed a nematic phase on heating and cooling processes. Liquid crystalline binary mixtures were obtained by mixing LCPUs and strongly polar c...

High-T_{c} superconductivity has recently been discovered in Ruddlesden-Popper (RP)-phase nickelates under pressure, where the low-energy electronic structure is dominated by Ni d_{x^{2}−y^{2}} and d_{z^{2}} orbitals. ...

Chiral photonic-band structure provides technical benefits in the form of a self-assembled helical structure and further functional wavelength tunability that exploits helical deformation according to pitch changes. The ...

Designing photonic topological insulators (PTIs) is highly non-trivial because it requires inversion of band symmetries around the band gap, which was so far done using intuition combined with meticulous trial and error....

Femtosecond laser direct writing is widely exploited in surface periodic structures processing. However, this technique still faces challenges in obtaining high surface homogeneity and flexible morphology controllability...

Interest in electron diffraction (ED) for structural characterization of both proteins and small molecules has grown significantly over the last decade. While ab initio phasing methods remain the gold standard for ED dat...

We propose and theoretically and numerically investigate integrated diffraction gratings for the Bloch surface wave (BSW) platform, which have subwavelength or near-subwavelength period. We demonstrate that, in the obliq...

We show that the stacks of two-dimensional semiconductor crystals with the chiral packing exhibit optical activity and circular dichroism. We develop a microscopic theory of these phenomena in the spectral range of excit...

Herein we present a detailed analysis of the optical response of artificial opal films realized employing a near-field scanning optical microscope in collection and transmission modes. Near-field patterns measured at the...

1-(acyl/aroyl)-3-(substituted)thioureas are exciting structures in the fields of organic synthesis, material sciences, and biomedical research. Of particular significance is the fact that acyl thiourea derivatives have b...

In the era of single-particle cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) and AI-driven protein structure prediction, obtaining high-resolution protein structures, either experimentally or computationally, has become increas...

Optical logic gates based on nonlinear optical property of material with ultrafast response speed and excellent computational processing power can break the performance bottleneck of electronic transistors. As one of the...

Three-dimensional electron diffraction (3D ED) has become increasingly popular over the last two decades, challenging the limits of established single-crystal X-ray diffraction experiments. In particular, continuous-rota...

The aim of this study is to understand the geological aspect and characterisation of barite bodies in Camal Island, a part of Kenyir National Geopark, in Terengganu state, Malaysia. Methods included a desk study, field i...

UDP-glucose:glycoprotein glucosyltransferase (UGGT) flags misfolded glycoproteins for ER retention. We report crystal structures of full-length Chaetomium thermophilum UGGT (CtUGGT), two CtUGGT double-cysteine mutants, a...

Several metal-organic framework (MOF) materials have been recently employed in optoelectronic devices due to the unique properties of the MOF materials that result in enhanced performance and stability. In this work, the...

Successful phasing of synchrotron through-the-substrate microdiffraction data by δ-recycling direct-methods largely depends on the number of missing intensities caused by the limited sample rotation range [J. Rius, Dire...
