The month-to-month variability of tropical temperatures is larger in the troposphere than at Earth's surface. This amplification behavior is similar in a range of observations and climate model simulations and is consistent with basic theory. On multidecadal time scales, tropospheric amplification of surface warming is a robust feature of model simulations, but it occurs in only one observational data set. Other observations show weak, or even negative, amplification. These results suggest either that different physical mechanisms control amplification processes on monthly and decadal time scales, and models fail to capture such behavior; or (more plausibly) that residual errors in several observational data sets used here affect their representation of long-term trends.

The unique characteristics of biological structures depend on the behavior of DNA sequences confined in a microscale cell under environmental fluctuations and dissipation. Here, we report a prominent difference in fluorescence from dye-modified single-stranded DNA in a light-induced assembly of DNA-functionalized heterogeneous probe particles in a microwell of several microliters in volume. Strong optical forces from the Mie scattering of microparticles accelerated hybridization, and the photothermal effect from the localized surface plasmons in gold nanoparticles enhanced specificity to reduce the fluorescence intensity of dye-modified DNA to a few %, even in a one-base mismatched sequence, enabling us to clearly highlight the single nucleotide polymorphisms in DNA.

DNA can be readily amplified through replication, enabling the detection of a single-target copy. A comparable performance for proteins in immunoassays has yet to be fully assessed. Surface-plasmon-resonance (SPR) serves as a probe capable of performing assays at concentrations typically around 10⁻⁹ molar.

A 3D DNA spatial chip (DSC) based on an icosahedral DNA origami framework is introduced to construct customized circular single-stranded DNA (c-ssDNA) for data storage. Within the confined space of the DSC, thirty addressable location sequences extending from the framework edges are available for designing circular paths and directing the assembly of a series of information oligonucleotides for efficient ligation. This strategy is verified by constructing c-ssDNAs from up to 15 fragments to encode two poems (800 and 860 nucleotides).

Aim: The study aimed to explore the coexisting patterns and assess the significance of serum hepatitis B virus (HBV) RNA and traditional virological biomarkers in patients with antiviral treatment-naïve chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection.
Methods: Serum HBV RNA, HBV DNA, hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), and hepatitis B envelope antigen (HBeAg) levels were measured and compared in patients with chronic hepatitis B virus infection. The HBV RNA levels were determined using a simultaneous amplification and testing assay.
Enzyme-Instructed Interfacial Jamming of Pillar[5]arenes for Macroscopic Signal Amplification.

Enzyme-instructed signal generation at liquid-liquid interfaces presents a novel strategy for controlling and detecting biochemical processes on macroscopic scales. Here, we explore the self-assembly and jamming of pillar[5]arene (P[5]A) derivatives at the oil-water interface via a copper-mediated "click" reaction, providing a versatile platform for generating observable signals. The formation of a pillar[5]arenes network at the droplet interface reduces interfacial tension, allowing droplets to adopt various nonequilibrium shapes based on the interfacial jamming process.
