Enhanced ~3.0 μm emission corresponding to Er3+:4I11/2→4I13/2 was achieved in Nd3+/Er3+ co-doped Lu0.15Y2.85Sc2Ga3O12 (abbr. as Nd,Er:LuYSGG) crystal under 808 nm pumping. As compared with Er:YSGG crystal, the absorption pump efficiency of Nd,Er:LuYSGG crystal is greatly improved and thus ~3.0 μm emission is enhanced by 2.2 times owing to the sensitization of Nd3+, at the same time, Nd3+ as deactivator quenches ~1.5 μm emission from Er3+:4I13/2 level and thus inhibit the self-termination effect successfully. The energy transfer efficiencies of Nd: 4F3/2→Er: 4I11/2 and Er: 4I13/2→Nd:4I15/2 are estimated to be 91.6% and nearly 100%, respectively. These results indicate that the introduction of Nd3+ is very helpful for achieving ~3.0 μm laser in Nd,Er:LuYSGG crystal.

In nature, organisms adapt to environmental changes through training to learn new abilities, offering valuable insights for developing intelligent materials. However, replicating this adaptive learning in synthetic materials presents a significant challenge. This study introduces a feasible approach to train liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) by integrating a mechanophore tetraarylsuccinonitrile (TASN) into their main chain, addressing the challenge of enabling synthetic materials to exchange substances with their environment.

As an essential micronutrient, phosphorus plays a key role in oceanic biogeochemistry, with its cycling intimately connected to the global carbon cycle and climate change. Authigenic carbonate fluorapatite (CFA) has been suggested to represent a significant phosphorus sink in the deep ocean, but its formation mechanisms in oceanic low-productivity settings remain poorly constrained. Applying X-ray absorption near edge structure, transmission electron microscopy, and laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer analyses, we report a unique mineral assemblage where CFA crystals coat phillipsite in abyssal sediments of the East Mariana Basin and the Philippine Sea.

This study introduces a novel landfill cover material, employing lake sediment as a substrate, stabilised with fly ash, slag, desulfurisation gypsum and construction waste. The mechanical properties, including shear strength parameters, unconfined compressive strength, hydraulic conductivity, volumetric shrinkage, and water content, of the solidified sludge were evaluated. The microscopic mechanism of the solidified sludge were investigated through XRD, FTIR, and SEM-EDS techniques.

RNA viruses have evolved numerous strategies to overcome host resistance and immunity, including the use of multifunctional proteases that not only cleave viral polyproteins during virus replication but also deubiquitinate cellular proteins to suppress ubiquitin (Ub)-mediated antiviral mechanisms. Here, we report an approach to attenuate the infection of Arabidopsis thaliana by Turnip Yellow Mosaic Virus (TYMV) by suppressing the polyprotein cleavage and deubiquitination activities of the TYMV protease (PRO). Performing selections using a library of phage-displayed Ub variants (UbVs) for binding to recombinant PRO yielded several UbVs that bound the viral protease with nanomolar affinities and blocked its function.
