We show experimentally that polarization mode hopping in quantum dot vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs) takes place between nonorthogonal elliptically polarized modes. In contrast to quantum well VCSELs the average dwell time decreases with injection current. This decrease is by 8 orders of magnitude: from seconds to nanoseconds and is achieved without any modifications of the VCSEL internal anisotropies. The observed scaling happens in a range of currents as wide as 8 times the threshold value.

Unlabelled: Mycobacteria, including pathogens like , exhibit unique growth patterns and cell envelope structures that challenge our understanding of bacterial physiology. This study sheds light on FhaA, a conserved protein in , revealing its pivotal role in coordinating cell envelope biogenesis and asymmetric growth. The elucidation of the FhaA interactome in living mycobacterial cells reveals its participation in the protein network orchestrating cell envelope biogenesis and cell elongation/division.

As the hyperentanglement of photon systems holds lots of remarkable applications for enhancing channel capacity with less quantum resource, the interconversion of various hyperentangled states warrants in-depth investigation and becomes a vital work for quantum information technologies. Here we realize completely mutual conversions between spatial-polarization hyperentangled Knill-Laflamme-Milburn state and hyperentangled W state for three-photon systems, resorting to hyperparallel quantum control gates and the practical nonlinear interaction of nitrogen-vacancy centers coupled with whispering-gallery-mode microresonators. The hyperparallel quantum gates, i.

The electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CORR) using renewable electricity sources could provide a sustainable solution for generating valuable chemicals, such as formate salt or formic acid. However, an efficient, stable, and scalable electrode generating formate at industrially viable current densities (>100 mA cm) is yet to be developed. Sn or In-based catalysts in gas diffusion electrodes (GDE) can efficiently produce formate.

Quasi-Simultaneous Identification of Polar and Neutral Lipids in Mass Spectrometry by kHz Switching of Electrospray and Plasma Ionization.

Anal Chem

January 2025

Leibniz-Institut für Analytische Wissenschaften-ISAS-e.V., Bunsen-Kirchhoff-Straße 11, D-44139 Dortmund, Germany.

The identification of polar and neutral lipid species as biomarkers in complex biological samples is a key task in clinical and life sciences. Electrospray and plasma-based ionization techniques are necessary to cover the full range of lipidomes, owing to their limited molecular polarity ranges. However, combining both to generate hybrid spectra is difficult without averaging spectra, as electrospray and plasma sources operate under vastly different conditions.
