Lattice dynamics and thermodynamic properties of antiferromagnetic Fe(2)SiO(4)-spinel have been studied using density functional theory. Phonon dispersions are obtained for several hydrostatic pressures up to 20 GPa. They are used to calculate thermodynamic properties within the quasiharmonic approximation. Comparison with ab initio results obtained for Mg(2)SiO(4)-spinel is made in order to study the effect of the cation exchange on the dynamic and thermodynamic properties of (Mg, Fe)(2)SiO(4)-spinel. The obtained results have been compared with the available experimental data.

Lithium-tellurium (Li-Te) batteries are gaining attention as a promising next-generation energy storage system due to their superior electrical conductivity and high volumetric capacity compared to sulfur and selenium. Tellurium's unique properties, such as suitable redox potential, excellent conductivity, high volumetric capacity, and greatest stability, position it as a strong candidate for negative electrode materials. This study explores the potential of metal tellurides, specifically CuTe and FeTe monolayers, as effective tellurium host materials, leveraging their polar interactions with lithium polytellurides.

In this article, we present an approach to maximizing the splicing regulatory properties of splice-switching oligonucleotide (SSO) designed to regulate alternative splicing of PKM pre-mRNA. The studied SSO interacts with the regulatory element in exon 10 of PKM pre-mRNA and contributes to a significant reduction of PKM2 level with a simultaneous increase of the PKM1 isoform. This SSO forms a duplex not only with the regulatory fragment of exon 10 but also with a similar RNA fragment of intron 9.

Currently, the development of red Mn-activated fluoride luminescent materials attracts a lot of attention in optical thermometry sensors, solid lighting, display, and plant growth areas. Nevertheless, the thermal stability of Mn-activated fluoride luminescent materials is still a crucial issue. Herein, a new red RbNaVF:Mn luminescent material with outstanding thermal stability was successfully synthesized through the facial coprecipitation method.

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a minimally invasive procedure that utilizes localized heat to treat tumors by inducing localized tissue thermal damage. The present study aimed to evaluate the temperature evolution and spatial distribution, ablation size, and reproducibility of ablation zones in ex vivo liver, kidney, and lung using a commercial device, i.e.

Thrombin binding aptamer (TBA) is one of the best-known G-quadruplex (G4)-forming aptamers that efficiently binds to thrombin, resulting in anticoagulant effects. TBA also possesses promising antiproliferative properties. As with most therapeutic oligonucleotides, chemical modifications are critical for therapeutic applications, particularly to improve thermodynamic stability, resistance in biological environment, and target affinity.
