Vitreous silica was modelled using molecular dynamics (MD). The glass structure was transferred into an undirected graph and decomposed into disjoint structural units that were ideally mixed to calculate the configurational entropy. The Debye relaxation model was suggested to simulate the evolution of entropy during the cooling of the system. It was found that the relaxation of the configurational entropy of MD corresponds to the effective cooling rate of 6.3 × 10 Ks and its extrapolation to 0.33 Ks mimics the glass transition with ; close to the experimental value. Debye relaxation correctly describes the observed MD evolution of configurational entropy and explains the existence of freezing-in temperature and the shape of the curve in the transition region.

High-entropy metal-organic frameworks (HE-MOFs) hold promise as versatile materials, yet current rare examples are confined to low-valence elements in the fourth period, constraining their design and optimization for diverse applications. Here, a novel high-entropy, defect-rich and small-sized (32 nm) UiO-66 (ZrHfCeSnTi HE-UiO-66) has been synthesized for the first time, leveraging increased configurational entropy to achieve high tolerance to doping with diverse metal ions. The lattice distortion of HE-UiO-66 induces high exposure of metal nodes to create coordination unsaturated metal sites with a concentration of 322.

The backbone extraction process is pivotal in expediting analysis and enhancing visualization in network applications. This study systematically compares seven influential statistical hypothesis-testing backbone edge filtering methods (Disparity Filter (DF), Polya Urn Filter (PF), Marginal Likelihood Filter (MLF), Noise Corrected (NC), Enhanced Configuration Model Filter (ECM), Global Statistical Significance Filter (GloSS), and Locally Adaptive Network Sparsification Filter (LANS)) across diverse networks. A similarity analysis reveals that backbones extracted with the ECM and DF filters exhibit minimal overlap with backbones derived from their alternatives.

Multi-state metastability in neuroimaging signals reflects the brain's flexibility to transition between network configurations in response to changing environments or tasks. We modeled these dynamics with a Kuramoto network of 90 nodes oscillating at an intrinsic frequency of 40 Hz, interconnected using human brain structural connectivity strengths and delays. We simulated this model for 30 min to generate multi-state metastability.

Mimosine, a non-essential amino acid derived from plants, has a strong affinity for binding divalent and trivalent metal cations, including Zn, Ni, Fe, and Al. This ability endows mimosine with significant antimicrobial and anti-cancer properties, making it a promising candidate for therapeutic applications. Previous research has demonstrated the effectiveness of mimosine-containing peptides as metal chelators, offering a safer alternative to conventional chelation agents.

Transition metal carbides, nitrides, and carbonitrides (MXenes) have emerged as a promising class of 2D materials that can be used for various applications. Recently, a new form of high-entropy MXenes has been reported, which contains an increased number of elemental species that can increase the configurational entropy and reduce the Gibbs free energy. The unique structure and composition lead to a range of intriguing and tunable characteristics.
