Amino acid insertions and deletions (indels) are among the most common protein mutations and necessitate changes to a protein's backbone geometry. Examining how indels affect protein folding stability (and especially how indels can increase stability) can help reveal the role of backbone energetics on stability and introduce new protein engineering strategies.

We report the first application of broadband time-resolved pump-probe ellipsometry to study the ultrafast dynamics of the photoinduced insulator-to-metal transition (IMT) in vanadium dioxide (VO) thin films driven by 35 fs laser pulses. This novel technique enables the direct measurement of the time-resolved evolution of the complex pseudodielectric function of VO during the IMT. We have identified distinct thermal and nonthermal dynamics in the photoinduced IMT, which critically depends on the pump wavelength and fluence, while providing a detailed temporal and spectral phase map.

Article Synopsis
  • * A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted involving 1,634 patients to examine the complications and outcomes of TEA in outpatient versus inpatient environments.
  • * The study found that inpatient settings had a significantly higher overall complication rate and adverse discharge events compared to outpatient settings, although there were no significant differences in other complications like readmissions and infections.

Article Synopsis
  • Optical aberrations in telescopes prevent them from achieving their best possible clarity, but these can be corrected using deformable mirrors guided by real-time data about the aberrations from images.
  • Current methods for detecting these aberrations depend on potentially flawed physical models, which can hinder the correction process.
  • This study proposes a new approach using model-free reinforcement learning to improve the estimation and correction of aberrations using phase diversity images, showing effective performance even under various conditions and noise levels.
