We have previously demonstrated that 2-amino-6-vinylpurine is an efficient cross-linking agent with high selectivity towards cytidine. In this study, we applied this nucleobase analog to versatile conjugation of oligodeoxynucleotides with radio-, spin-, fluorescence- and peptide labels. The oligodeoxynucleotides incorporating 2-amino-6-vinylpurine nucleoside were reacted with amino- bearing nucleophies in an excess amount to give the corresponding conjugates in good yield.

Measuring the Spin of the Galactic Center Supermassive Black Hole with Two Pulsars.

As a key science project of the Square Kilometre Array (SKA), the discovery and timing observations of radio pulsars in the Galactic Center would provide high-precision measurements of the spacetime around the supermassive black hole, Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*), and initiate novel tests of general relativity. The spin of Sgr A* could be measured with a relative error of ≲1% by timing one pulsar with timing precision that is achievable for the SKA. However, the real measurements depend on the discovery of a pulsar in a very compact orbit, P_{b}≲0.

Vectorial metasurface holography, allowing for independent control over the amplitude, phase, and polarization distribution of holographic images enabled by metasurfaces, plays a crucial role in the realm of optical display, optical, and quantum communications. However, previous research on vectorial metasurface holography has typically been restricted to single degree of freedom input and single channel output, thereby demonstrating a very limited modulation capacity. This work presents a novel method to achieve multi-channel vectorial metasurface holography by harnessing spin-orbit-locking vortex beams.

With rapid development of holography, metasurface-based holographic communication scheme shows great potential in development of adaptive electromagnetic function. However, conventional passive metasurfaces are severely limited by poor reconfigurability, which makes it difficult to achieve wavefront manipulations in real time. Here, we propose a holographic communication strategy that on-demand target information is firstly acquired and encoded via a depth camera integrated with modified YOLOv5s target detection algorithm, then transmitted by software defined radio modules with long term evolution at 5 GHz, and finally reproduced in the form of holographic images by spin-decoupled programmable coding metasurfaces at 12 GHz after decoding through modified Gerchberg-Saxton algorithm.

Fluorine-19 (F) MRI has become an established tool for in vivo cell tracking following ex vivo or in vivo labelling of various cell types with F perfluorocarbons (PFCs). Here, we developed and evaluated novel mouse-specific radiofrequency (RF) hardware for improved dual H anatomical imaging and deep tissue F MR detection of PFCs. Three linearly polarized birdcage RF coils were constructed-a dual-frequency H/F coil, and a pair of single-frequency H and F coils, designed to be used sequentially.

Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to create a novel conformal elliptical-cylinder resonator, called MICER, to improve wrist MRI scans at 1.5 T and assess its clinical utility.
- - Researchers compared MICER with a traditional 12-channel wrist coil using various MRI sequences and analyzed images from a phantom and 14 wrists of healthy volunteers, focusing on image quality metrics like signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR).
- - Results showed that MICER provided significantly better SNR and CNR for wrist tissues compared to the 12-channel wrist coil, suggesting its promising role in enhancing MRI quality in clinical settings.
