The cyclotron frequency ratio of ^{187}Os^{29+} to ^{187}Re^{29+} ions was measured with the Penning-trap mass spectrometer PENTATRAP. The achieved result of R=1.000 000 013 882(5) is to date the most precise such measurement performed on ions. Furthermore, the total binding-energy difference of the 29 missing electrons in Re and Os was calculated by relativistic multiconfiguration methods, yielding the value of ΔE=53.5(10) eV. Finally, using the achieved results, the mass difference between neutral ^{187}Re and ^{187}Os, i.e., the Q value of the β^{-} decay of ^{187}Re, is determined to be 2470.9(13) eV.

The transcriptomic response of two basidiomycete fungi to plant biomass is modulated by temperature to a different extent.

Article Synopsis
- Fungi have specific habitat preferences, and understanding their adaptation to different environments is crucial for biodiversity and industrial use.
- Both Trametes pubescens and Phlebia centrifuga showcased different gene expressions based on the carbon sources (wheat straw and spruce) and growth temperatures (15°C and 25°C) they experienced.
- The study found that T. pubescens exhibited more lignin and cellulose-related gene activity, while P. centrifuga showed a greater transcriptome response to temperature changes, indicating their different adaptations and molecular mechanisms in varying conditions.

Secretome evaluations of lignocellulose-decay basidiomycetes can reveal new enzymes in selected fungal species that degrade specific substrates. Proteins discovered in such studies can support biorefinery development. Brown-rot (Gloeophyllum trabeum) and white-rot (Pleurotus ostreatus) fungi growing in sugarcane bagasse solid-state cultures produced 119 and 63 different extracellular proteins, respectively.

Article Synopsis
- The evolution of lignocellulose decomposition is a key development in fungi, with white-rot fungi being the most proficient at breaking down cellulose and lignin in woody plants.
- Recent genomic studies include new sequences from ten fungi, providing insights into the evolutionary origins of the enzymes responsible for lignocellulose decomposition.
- Findings indicate that white-rot fungi likely evolved later in Agaricomycetes than previously thought, with the first class II peroxidases emerging in the ancestor of the Auriculariales, while early clades lack these enzymes, relying on older methods for decomposing plant cell walls.
Dynamics of a polyelectrolyte in simple shear flow.

The configurational dynamics of a polyelectrolyte (PE), subjected to a simple shear flow, is studied using Brownian dynamics (BD) and Dissipative Particle Dynamics (DPD) simulations of a bead-spring model with explicit counterions. We explore the effect of counterion condensation on the tumbling and extension of PEs by varying the shear rates for a range of values of the electrostatic coupling parameter A (which is defined as the ratio of the Bjerrum length to the size of the monomer). In all cases, the power spectrum of Rs(t) (which characterizes the projected length of the PE in the flow direction as a function of time) exhibits a power law decay at high frequencies, similar to that for a dumbbell in shear flow.

Photolysis of 3-(2-formylphenyl)-3-chlorodiazirine in an Ar matrix at 13 K was monitored by IR and UV-vis spectroscopies. Characterization of the products was carried out by comparing the spectra with the theoretical IR spectra obtained by using DFT, which suggested that anti,anti-2-formylphenyl(chloro)carbenes (a,a-2), ketenes (syn- and anti-3), chlorobenzocyclobutenone (4), and chloroisobenzofurane (5) were formed. This indicates that carbene 2 interacts with both hydrogen and oxygen in the formyl group.
