In ground-based experiments with complex (dusty) plasmas, charged microparticles are levitated against gravity by an electric field, which also drives ion flow in the parent gas. Existing analytical approaches to describe the electrostatic interaction between microparticles in such conditions generally ignore the field and ion-neutral collisions, assuming free ion flow with a certain approximation for the ion velocity distribution function (usually a shifted Maxwellian). We provide a comprehensive analysis of our previously proposed self-consistent kinetic theory including the field, ion-neutral collisions, and the corresponding ion velocity distribution. We focus on various limiting cases and demonstrate how the interplay of these factors results in different forms of the shielding potential.

Equilibrium and kinetic behavior of adsorption-induced deformation have attracted a lot of attention in the last few decades. The theoretical and experimental works cover activated carbons, coals, zeolites, glasses, etc. However, most of the theoretical works describe only the equilibrium part of the deformation process or focus on the time evolution of the adsorption process.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates viologen-based supramolecular crystal gels, which are soft solid networks formed by the self-assembly of low molecular weight gelators into crystalline fibers, focusing on how to tune their properties.
- - Researchers conducted various experiments, including spectroscopy and microscopy, to analyze the gelation process and found that viologen gelators crystallize into hollow tubes that combine into larger spherulites, following the Avrami theory of crystallization.
- - The findings suggest that adjusting the quenching temperature impacts the size and density of spherulites but does not significantly change the gel's elasticity, indicating a trade-off between spherulite density and connectivity.

The growth kinetics of vertical III-V nanowires (NWs) were clarified long ago. The increasing aspect ratio of NWs results in an increase in the surface area, which, in turn, enhances the material collection. The group III adatom diffusion from the NW sidewalls to the top sustains a superlinear growth regime.

Article Synopsis
- Active site lids in enzymes, such as iodotyrosine deiodinase, undergo conformational changes upon substrate binding to enhance catalytic activity.
- Recent studies using F NMR spectroscopy revealed that the lid dynamics and interconversion rates between free and bound states are closely linked to ligand binding, happening at rates much faster than the actual catalytic process.
- While certain substrates stabilize the lid structure, essential for its function, simply stabilizing the lid does not guarantee efficient enzyme activity, indicating that additional factors are at play in catalysis.

Context: The theoretical study investigates the [3 + 2] cycloaddition (32CA) reactions between C, N-diphenyl nitrilimine with 2,3,4,5-tetraphenylcyclopentadienone and benzonitrile oxide with 2,3,4,5-tetraphenylcyclopentadienone. Nitrilimines and nitrile oxides are dipoles used in the synthesis of several heterocyclic compounds, including spiropyrazoline oxindoles and isoxazolines. The derivatives of these compounds are found with different biological activities, such as ion channel blockers, anti-inflammatory and anticancer agents as well as antimalarial.
