We determined the CO oxidation rates for size-selected Ptn (n ∈ {3,7,10}) clusters deposited onto TiO2(110). In addition, we investigated the cluster morphologies and their mean sizes before and after the reaction. While the clusters are fairly stable upon annealing in ultrahigh vacuum up to 600 K, increasing the temperature while adsorbing either one of the two reactants leads to ripening already from 430 K on. This coarsening is even more pronounced when both reactants are dosed simultaneously, i.e., running the CO oxidation reaction. Since the ripening depends on the size initially deposited, there is nevertheless a size effect; the catalytic activity decreases monotonically with increasing initial cluster size.

Constructing nanoreactors with multiple active sites in well-defined crystalline mesoporous frameworks is an effective strategy for tailoring photocatalysts to address the challenging of CO reduction. Herein, one-dimensional (1-D) mesoporous single-crystal TiO nanorod (MS-TiO-NRs, ≈110 nm in length, high surface area of 117 m g, and uniform mesopores of ≈7.0 nm) based nanoreactors are prepared via a droplet interface directed-assembly strategy under mild condition.

Metal clusters have distinct features from single atom and nanoparticle (>1 nm) catalysts, making them effective catalysts for various heterogeneous reactions. Nevertheless, the ambiguity and complexity of the catalyst structure preclude in-depth mechanistic studies. The evolution of metal species during synthesis and reaction processes represents another challenge.

Photochromic molecules with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) effects are of great value and prospective in various practical applications. To explore its inherent mechanism, the open isomer ap-BBTE and the closed isomer c-BBTE were chosen to perform the theoretical calculation using the quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics model combined with thermal vibration correlation function formalism. The calculations show that the photocyclization (PC) reaction from ap-BBTE to c-BBTE facilitates an improvement in the AIE effect.

Article Synopsis
- T lymphocytes help suppress metastasis by interacting with cancer cells, but tumor immune privilege can limit their infiltration into tumors, particularly in invasive clusters.
- A new catalyst called the catalytic antigen-capture sponge (CAS) uses copper-based materials and chloroquine to improve T cell infiltration into tumors by targeting them and inducing chemodynamic therapy, weakening cancer cells’ defenses.
- This therapy enhances the exposure of tumor-associated antigens, leading to increased immune activation and a buildup of immune cells in metastatic clusters, which helps combat metastatic tumors.

Bulls used in artificial insemination programmes worldwide undergo quality control checks, which are typically based on the evaluation of sperm motility and morphology. Despite this, some bulls can have lower than expected field fertility and the reasons for this remain to be elucidated. Here we hypothesised that sperm from bulls of varying fertility will differ in their ability to undergo capacitation-related events including an increase in membrane fluidity, protein tyrosine phosphorylation, hyperactivation and the acrosome reaction.
