Terminally fluorinated ether as a solvent for high-performance lithium metal battery electrolyte.

Terminally fluorinated ether 5FDEE shows exceptional compatibility with LiPF, enabling high-performance Li-metal batteries. Li‖NMC811 cells with a 1 M LiPF in 5FDEE : FEC (9 : 1 v/v) electrolyte demonstrate remarkable cycling stability with an average coulombic efficiency exceeding 99.9% and no capacity fading over 550 cycles at 2.

Ultrastructural Remodeling of Cardiomyocytes in Postinfarction Myocardium of Rats in the Late Stages of the Disease.

Identifying factors that contribute to the transition to the dilated phase in cardiac ischemia is a critical challenge in heart failure treatment. Currently, no effective therapies exist for this ischemic complication, and the mechanisms driving left ventricular dilatation during chronic post-infarction remodeling remain poorly understood. One potential pathological process leading to ventricular dilatation involves specific compensatory rearrangements in the border zone adjacent to the infarct, which isolates the intact myocardium from inflammation at the scar edge.

Model for random internalization of nanoparticles by cells.

We propose a stochastic model for the internalization of nanoparticles by cells formulating cellular uptake as a compound Poisson process with a random probability of success. This is an alternative approach to the one presented by Rees et al. [Nat.

Search for Leptonic Decays of Dark Photons at NA62.

The NA62 experiment at CERN, configured in beam-dump mode, has searched for dark photon decays in flight to electron-positron pairs using a sample of 1.4×10^{17} protons on dump collected in 2021. No evidence for a dark photon signal is observed.

Observation of Haldane magnetism in organically templated vanadium phosphate (H)VPOOH.

We prepared an organically templated magnet, (H)VPOOH (H = diprotonated ethylenediamine), hydrothermally and characterized its crystal structure by powder X-ray diffraction and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, and its physical properties by magnetization, specific heat and nuclear magnetic resonance measurements and density functional theory calculations. (H)VPOOH consists of uniform chains of V (d, = 1) ions and exhibits Haldane magnetism with spin gap = 59.3 K from the magnetic susceptibility () at = 0.
