We study weak traces of particle passing Vaidman's nested Mach-Zehnder interferometer. We investigate an effect of decoherence caused by an environment coupled to internal degree of freedom (a spin) of a travelling particle. We consider two models: pure decoherence leading to exact results and weak coupling Davies approximation allowing to include dissipative effects. We show that potentially anomalous discontinuity of particle paths survives an effect of decoherence unless it affects internal part of the nested interferometer.

The external stimuli-responsive excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) on/off mechanism is a unique and expedient sensing method that offers easy monitoring through the transition between dual and single-peak emissions. To avail this advantage of ESIPT-based sensing for selective metal ion detection and trace water detection, we have synthesized a 2,5-dihydroxyterephthalate (dht)-based interwoven polycatenated coordination polymer (1). The synthesized compound has been thoroughly characterized using single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction techniques, along with other physicochemical methods.

Heavy metals are the most hazardous water pollutants, with severe health and environmental consequences. Among these, mercuric (Hg) ions are known to cause detrimental health issues in both humans and aquatic life. Due to this, several analytical techniques have been devised to detect and quantify the amount of this ion.

Understanding the nature and preservation of microbial traces in extreme environments is crucial for reconstructing Earth's early biosphere and for the search for life on other planets or moons. At Rio Tinto, southwestern Spain, ferric oxide and sulfate deposits similar to those discovered at Meridiani Planum, Mars, entomb a diversity of fossilized organisms, despite chemical conditions commonly thought to be challenging for life and fossil preservation. Investigating this unique fossil microbiota can elucidate ancient extremophile communities and the preservation of biosignatures in acidic environments on Earth and, potentially, Mars.
