High-entropy alloys (HEAs) are broadly explored from the perspective of mechanical, corrosion-resistance, catalytic, structural, superconducting, magnetic properties, and so on. In magnetic HEAs, 3 transition metals or rare-earth elements are well-studied compositional elements. We researched a magnetic HEA containing Fe combined with 4 and 5 transition metals, which has not been well investigated, and found a new dual-phase face-centered-cubic (fcc) HEA FeRhIrPdPt. The structural, magnetic, and transport properties were evaluated by assuming that FeRhIrPdPt is a mixture of FeRh, FeIr, FePd, and FePt, all with the fcc structure. The dual-phase is composed of a Rh- and Ir-rich main phase and a Pd- and Pt-rich minor one. FeRh and FeIr show spin freezings at low temperatures, while FePd and FePt are ferromagnetic. Two magnetic features can characterize FeRhIrPdPt. One is the canonical spin-glass transition at 90 K, and the other is a ferromagnetic correlation that appears below 300 K. The main and minor phases were responsible for the spin-glass transition and the ferromagnetic correlation below 300 K, respectively.

Plants will form the basis of artificial ecosystems in space exploration and the creation of bases on other planets. Astrophysical factors, such as ionizing radiation (IR), magnetic fields (MF) and gravity, can significantly affect the growth and development of plants beyond Earth. However, to date, the ways in which these factors influence plants remain largely unexplored.

A novel polymer electrolyte based on CsPbI quantum dots (QDs) reinforced polyacrylonitrile (PAN), named as PIL, is exploited to address the low room-temperature (RT) ion conductivity and poor interfacial compatibility of polymer solid-state electrolytes. After optimizing the content of CsPbI QDs, RT ion conductivity of PIL largely increased from 0.077 to 0.

To elucidate the potential roles of presynaptic and postsynaptic serotonergic activity in impulsivity traits, we investigated the relationship between self-reported impulsiveness and serotonin transporter (5-HTT) and 5-HT2A receptors in healthy individuals. In this study, 26 participants completed 3-Tesla magnetic resonance imaging and positron emission tomography with [C]DASB and [C]MDL100907. To quantify 5-HTT and 5-HT2A receptor availability, the binding potential (BP) of [C]DASB and [C]MDL100907 was derived using the simplified reference tissue model with cerebellar gray matter as the reference region.

Rationale: Developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (DEE) defines a group of severe and heterogeneous neurodevelopmental disorders. The voltage-gated potassium channel subfamily 2 voltage-gated potassium channel α subunit encoded by the KCNB1 gene is essential for neuronal excitability. Previous studies have shown that KCNB1 variants can cause DEE.

During the preparation of single-domain (S-D) REBaCuO (RE-123) superconducting bulks, the seed crystals can serve as templates for crystal growth, guiding the newly formed crystals to grow in a specific direction, thereby ensuring the consistency of the crystal orientation within the sample. However, the infiltration temperature is typically restricted to approximately 1050 °C when employing NdBaCuO (Nd-123) crystal seeds in the traditional top-seeded infiltration growth (TSIG) technique for producing single-domain Y-123 bulk superconductors. In the present study, to overcome the temperature limitations of the heat treatment process, the optimized YO +011 IG (011 refers to BaCuO powder) method was employed to fabricate a group of single-domain Y-123 bulks with a high-temperature infiltration (1000-1300 °C).
