Infrared spectra in the carbon monoxide CO stretch region (≈2150 cm(-1)) are assigned to the previously unobserved O-bonded form of the CO2-CO dimer ("isomer 2"), which has a planar T-shaped structure like that of the previously observed C-bonded form ("isomer 1"), but with the CO rotated by 180°. The effective center of mass intermolecular distances are 3.58 Å for isomer 2 as compared to 3.91 Å for isomer 1. In addition to the fundamental band, two combination bands are observed for isomer 2, yielding values for two intermolecular vibrational modes: 14.19 cm(-1) for the in-plane CO bend and 22.68 cm(-1) for the out-of-plane bend.

Two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals materials are shaping the landscape of next-generation devices, offering significant technological value thanks to their unique, tunable, and layer-dependent electronic and optoelectronic properties. Time-domain spectroscopic techniques at terahertz (THz) frequencies offer noninvasive, contact-free methods for characterizing the dynamics of carriers in 2D materials. They also pave the path toward the applications of 2D materials in detection, imaging, manufacturing, and communication within the increasingly important THz frequency range.

Superconductivity in infinite-layer nickelates has stirred much research interest, to which questions regarding the nature of superconductivity remain elusive. A critical leap forward to address these intricate questions is through the growth of high-crystallinity infinite-layer nickelates, including the "parent" phase. Here, we report the synthesis of a high-quality thin-film nickelate, NdNiO.

Mid-infrared laser absorption spectroscopy enables rapid and nondestructive analysis of methane clumped isotopes. However, current analytical methods require a sample size of 20 mL STP (0.82 mmol) of pure CH gas, which significantly limits its application to natural samples.

A compact and robust optical excitation photoacoustic sensor with a self-integrated laser module excitation and an optimized differential resonator was developed to achieve high sensitivity and full linear range detection of carbon dioxide (CO) based on dual modes of wavelength modulated photoacoustic spectroscopy (WMPAS) and resonant frequency tracking (RFT). The integrated laser module equipped with three lasers (a quantum cascade laser (QCL), a distributed feedback laser (DFB) and a He-Ne laser) working in a time-division multiplexing mode was used as an integrated set of spectroscopic sources for detection of the designated concentration levels of CO. With the absorption photoacoustic mode, the WMPAS detection with the QCL and DFB sources was capable of CO detection at concentrations below 20 %, yielding a noise equivalent concentration (NEC) as low as 240 ppt and a normalized noise equivalent absorption coefficient (NNEA) of 4.

Nuclear receptors (NRs) regulate gene expression in response to hormonal signals, influencing diverse physiological processes and diseases. Structural and dynamics investigations based on X-ray crystallography, cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry, and molecular dynamics simulations, have significantly deepened our understanding of the conformational states, dynamics, and interdomain interactions of multi-domain NRs. Structural studies have examined heterodimeric complexes such as peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR-γ) with retinoid X receptor alpha (RXRα), liver X receptor beta (LXRβ) with RXRα, and retinoic acid receptor beta (RARβ) with RXRα, as well as homodimers like hepatic nuclear factor 4 alpha (HNF-4α), androgen receptor (AR), and glucocorticoid receptor (GR).
