(PbLa)(Zr SnTi)O (PLZST) antiferroelectric ceramics with x = 0.75-0.90 have been fabricated and found to be a novel electrocaloric material system with a giant negative electrocaloric effect (Δ T = -11.5 K) and a large electrocaloric strength (|Δ T/Δ E| = 0.105 K cm kV) near room temperature. Additionally, the PLZST antiferroelectric ceramic also exhibits a large positive electrocaloric effect around the Curie temperature. The giant negative effect and the coexistence of both positive and negative electrocaloric effects in one material indicate a promising possibility to develop mid- to large-scale solid-state cooling devices with high efficiency.

Kanagawa University, Department of Chemistry, JAPAN.
Thermoelectric properties of undoped crystals of dibenzo[g,p]chrysene (DBC), deuterated DBC (DBC-d16), and 2,10-dimethyl-DBC (DBC-Me2) have been studied to obtain some insights into the relationship between the structural parameters of materials and the giant Seebeck effect. X-ray crystallography showed one-dimensional columnar packing with the interlayer distances (d) for DBC-d16, DBC, and DBC-Me2 were 3.78 Å, 3.

Experimental and Theoretical Investigation of the Reaction of CH with Formaldehyde (CHO) at Very Low Temperatures and Application to Astrochemical Models.

Rate coefficients for the reaction of CH with CHO were measured for the first time over the temperature range of 37-603 K, with the CH radicals produced by pulsed laser photolysis and detected by CH radical chemiluminescence following their reaction with O. The low temperature measurements (≤93 K) relevant to the interstellar medium were made within a Laval nozzle gas expansion, while higher temperature measurements (≥308 K) were made within a temperature controlled reaction cell. The rate coefficients display a negative temperature dependence below 300 K, reaching (1.

Quantitative investigation of the relationship between endosomal translation reactions and phospholipid membrane composition is crucial for enhancing protein translation efficiency in artificial cells. In this study, we quantitatively compared the translation reactions within liposomes containing negatively and positively charged lipids using green fluorescent protein fluorescence as an indicator to investigate whether lipid membrane charge affects translation reaction efficiency in artificial cells. Thus, translation efficiency reduced in liposomes containing both negatively and positively charged lipids.
