We present parameters that allow the dielectric function ( = + 2) of perovskite SrTiO₃ (STO) to be calculated for spectral range from 0.74 to 6.42 eV and temperatures from 26 to 674 K. The data of STO were reproduced from a previous report. We use the Tauc-Lorentz model to express of STO analytically for each temperature. The spectra are successfully parameterized with six Tauc-Lorentz components and a pole. To obtain data for arbitrary energies and temperatures over the range given above, we interpolated the parameterized results using cubic polynomials. It is well known that STO has phase transitions near 40 and 105 K, which are reflected well in our modeling. Our data allow complex refractive indices to be calculated at any temperature for device design.

The isomerization kinetics of a liquid crystalline azobenzene dimer, comprising cyanoazobenzene and naphthalene (NAZ6), were investigated at the air-water interface. The Langmuir monolayers of NAZ6 in both its and states were analyzed using surface manometry techniques. The results revealed that NAZ6 molecules in the -state displayed the coexistence of a disordered liquid-expanded phase and an ordered liquid-condensed phase, whereas no such phase transition was observed in the -state.

We analyzed the thermal, structural, and dynamic properties of maghemite using classical molecular dynamics, focusing on bulk and nanoparticle systems. We explored their behavior when heated to high temperatures (above the melting point) and during cooling, as well as under thermal cycles ending at intermediate temperatures. Our findings show that in the bulk system, both the tetrahedral and octahedral iron sub-lattices undergo a phase transition prior to melting.

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection is closely associated with the development of various tumors such as lymphomas and epithelial cancers. EBV has a discrete life cycle with latency and lytic phases. In recent years, significant progress has been made in the understanding of the mechanism underlying the transition of EBV from latency to lytic replication.

Using MINFLUX tracking, we reveal that KIF1A predominantly adopts a two-heads-bound state, even under ATP-limiting conditions, challenging prior models proposing a one-head-bound rate-limiting step. This two-heads-bound conformation, stabilized by interactions between the positively charged K-loop and negatively charged tubulin tails, enhances microtubule affinity and minimizes detachment.

Ataxia-telangiectasia mutated and RAD3-related (ATR) and its partner ATR-interacting protein (ATRIP) function as a critical proximal sensor and transducer of the DNA Damage Response (DDR). Several ATR substrates, including p53 and CHK1, are crucial for coordination of cell cycle phase transitions, transcription, and DNA repair when cells sustain DNA damage.
