In the field of interacting electron systems the Mott metal-to-insulator (MI) transition represents one of the pivotal issues. The role played by lattice degrees of freedom for the Mott MI transition and the Mott criticality in a variety of materials are current topics under debate. In this context, molecular conductors of the κ-(BEDT-TTF)2X type constitute a class of materials for unraveling several aspects of the Mott physics. In this review, we present a synopsis of literature results with focus on recent expansivity measurements probing the Mott MI transition in this class of materials. Progress in the description of the Mott critical behavior is also addressed.

Meagre () is one of the fast-growing species considered for sustainable aquaculture development along the Mediterranean and Eastern Atlantic coasts. The emergence of Systemic Granulomatosis (SG), a disease marked by multiple granulomas in various tissues, poses a significant challenge in meagre aquaculture. In the current study, we investigate the association of spp.

Tantalum disulfide (1T-TaS), being a Mott insulator with strong electron correlation, is highlighted for diverse collective quantum states in the 2D lattice, including charge density wave (CDW), spin liquid, and unconventional superconductivity. The Mott physics embedded in the 2D triangular CDW lattice has raised debates on stacking-dependent properties because interlayer interactions are sensitive to van der Waals (vdW) spacing. However, control of interlayer distance remains a challenge.

Fluorescence probes play crucial roles in unraveling the structure and dynamics of cell membranes including membrane fluidity, polarity, and lipid molecule ordering. The fluorescence lifetime of probes describes the average duration of time that a fluorescent molecule remains in an excited state before returning to the ground state, which is sensitive to environmental changes. However, the molecular mechanism and inherent properties to determine the fluorescence lifetimes remain unexplored and inadequately studied.

Tuberculosis is one of the most common causes of death worldwide, with a rapid emergence of multi-drug-resistant strains underscoring the need for new antituberculosis drugs. Recent studies indicate that lansoprazole-a known gastric proton pump inhibitor and its intracellular metabolite, lansoprazole sulfide (LPZS)-are potential antituberculosis compounds. Yet, their inhibitory mechanism and site of action still remain unknown.
