This study investigates the impact of cooling rate and alloy composition on phase formations and properties of (CoCrCuTi)Fe (x = 0, 5, 10, 12.5, 15) high-entropy alloys (HEAs). Samples were synthesized using arc-melting and electromagnetic levitation, followed by quenching through the use of a Cu chill or V-shaped Cu mold.

Cobalt phthalocyanine (CoPc) is a promising molecular catalyst for aqueous electroreduction of CO, but its catalytic activity is limited by aggregation at high loadings. Codeposition of CoPc onto electrode surfaces with the coordinating polymer poly(4-vinylpyridine) (P4VP) mitigates aggregation in addition to providing other catalytic enhancements. Transmission and diffuse reflectance UV-vis measurements demonstrate that a combination of axial coordination and π-stacking effects from pyridyl moieties in P4VP serve to disperse cobalt phthalocyanine in deposition solutions and help prevent reaggregation in deposited films.

Genes encoding the KDM5 family of transcriptional regulators are disrupted in individuals with intellectual disability (ID). To understand the link between KDM5 and ID, we characterized five Drosophila strains harboring missense alleles analogous to those observed in patients. These alleles disrupted neuroanatomical development, cognition and other behaviors, and displayed a transcriptional signature characterized by the downregulation of many ribosomal protein genes.

Air pollution can have deleterious impacts on human health and the environment. Historically, air pollution studies have focused more on cities. However, it is also important to consider the impact on large suburban populations living closer to the major cities.
