Silver folded dipoles consisting of two parallel nanowires may operate as efficient transmitting and receiving nanoantennas in the optical domain in both cases of silver-nanowire-terminated arm-edges and open-terminated arm-edges, in contrast to their conventional radio-frequency (RF) counterparts that only operate efficiently when they are short-wire-terminated arm-edges. The mode decomposition analysis with the equivalent circuit reveals that the difference of the wave numbers between the common and the differential modes allows this feature for the optical folded dipole nanoantenna under both arm-edge conditions. The analysis also estimates the efficiency of the folded dipoles via the equivalent radius of nanowires for the common mode. These folded nanostructures may exhibit the enhanced efficiency with the maintained radiation patterns, where the efficiency of folded dipoles is the same as that of the effective single dipole at resonance.

An overcrowded ethylene composed of electron-donating anion, naphthoxide, and electron-accepting cation, acridinium, has been synthesized. It is in equilibrium between a folded conformer having a smaller permanent dipole moment with visible light absorption and a twisted conformer having a larger permanent dipole moment with NIR light absorption. The overcrowded ethylene shows multiple NIR chromisms, such as solvatochromism, thermochromism, mechanochromism, vapochromism, halochromism, and amphoteric electrochromisms, which are caused by the conformational change between folded and twisted conformers or by controlling the energy difference between the HOMO of the donor moiety and the LUMO of the acceptor moiety.

Article Synopsis
- Molecular dynamics simulations are essential for understanding the behavior of biomolecules but often face challenges due to discrepancies in time scales compared to real-world experiments, prompting the development of enhanced methods.
- This study utilizes advanced techniques like oscillating chemical potential grand canonical Monte Carlo and machine learning to investigate how electronic polarizability and Mg2+ distribution influence the stability of the twister ribozyme.
- The findings highlight that incorporating electronic polarizability significantly improves simulation stability compared to traditional methods, revealing critical interactions between Mg2+ ions and RNA components that contribute to this stabilization.

G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) constitute one of the most prominent families of integral membrane receptor proteins that mediate most transmembrane signaling processes. Malfunction of these signal transduction processes is one of the underlying causes of many human pathologies (Parkinson's, Huntington's, heart diseases, etc), provoking that GPCRs are the largest family of druggable proteins. However, these receptors have been targeted traditionally by orthosteric ligands, which usually causes side effects due to the simultaneous targeting of homologous receptor subtypes.

Purpose: To improve transmit B field homogeneity and longitudinal coverage of a human head RF array, we developed a novel eight-element transceiver (TxRx) array using composite elements based on paired folded-end dipoles.
Methods: The developed array consisted of eight pairs of coupled folded-end dipoles. Only one dipole in each pair was driven during transmission, while the other was passively coupled with the active one.
