Rationale: The recent progress in micro-scale isotopic analytical techniques for otoliths has enabled the reconstruction of the experienced water temperature history of fish in every few days resolution using the stable oxygen isotope ratio (δ O) of otoliths. We aimed to improve those techniques and extract the daily δ O records of otoliths formed during the juvenile period.
Methods: Growth rings were formed daily in fish otoliths. We precisely distinguished the daily rings in otoliths of Japanese jack mackerel Trachurus japonicus, and milled them along daily growth rings using a high-spatial resolution micromilling system (Geomill326). Then, we determined the stable carbon and oxygen (δ C, δ O) isotopic compositions using a high-precision micro-scale isotopic analytical system (MICAL3c with IsoPrime 100).
Results: We successfully milled each daily ring with width ranging from 14.0 to 62.9 μm (average 27.0 μm) during the high growth period (30-70 days after hatching), and determined the isotopic compositions of otolith aragonite.
Conclusions: Our improved micro-scale analytical method is the first to determine the daily δ O history of fish otoliths. By using our method together with the δ O - water temperature equation, the daily history of experienced water temperature can be elucidated. Our high-resolution milling and analytical technique can also be applied to high-resolution isotope analysis for stalactites, clams, and corals.

Contrast matching by isotopic exchange in cellulose allows visualizing functional groups, biomolecules, polymers and nanoparticles embedded in cellulosic composites. This isotopic exchange varies the scattering length density of cellulose to match its contrast with the background network. Here, contrast matching of microcrystalline-cellulose (MCC) and the functionalized nanocellulose-fiber (CNF) and cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) are elucidated by small angle neutron scattering (SANS).

However, volatile distribution in NAMs and their effect on physical properties of rocks remain controversial. Thus, constraining trace volatile concentrations in NAMs is tantamount to our understanding of the evolution of rocky planets and planetesimals.

Along the northern Mid-Atlantic Ridge (nMAR), in habitats under moderate (<10 °C) hydrothermal influence on the Snake Pit vent field (SP), large assemblages dominated by Bathymodiolin mussels remain poorly characterised, contrary to those in warmer habitats dominated by gastropods and alvinocaridid shrimps that were recently described. In this study, we assessed and compared the population structure, biomass, diversity and trophic interactions of two Bathymodiolus puteoserpentis assemblages and their associated fauna at SP. Three sampling units distanced by 30 cm were sampled in 2014 during the BICOSE cruise at the top of the Moose site (''Elan'' site), while few meters further down three others, distanced by ∼1 m were obtained in 2018 during the BICOSE 2 cruise at the edifice's base.

The assembly process of Organic Matter (OM) from single molecules to polymers and the formation process of Ca-CO ion-pairs are explored at the micro-scale, and then the relationship between OM and carbonate based on the results of microbially-induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) laboratory experiments is established at the macro-scale. Molecular dynamics (MD) is used to model the assembly of OM (a) in an aqueous solution, (b) on surfaces of calcite (10 1‾ 4) crystals and (c) on defective calcite (101‾ 4) crystal surfaces. From the MICP experiments, carbonate minerals containing abundant OM were precipitated and were characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-Ray Diffractometry (XRD) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR).

Hydrogen (H) removal in plasma-facing materials (PFMs) has been an important issue in the field of manually controllable fusion reactions. The tungsten nitride (WN) film, as a by-product on the divertor surface in the fusion reactor after nitrogen seeding, has rich H retention, and much attention should be given to hydrogen removal from WN. In this paper, by using density functional theory calculations, we predicted a novel WN crystal, which possesses nanoscale cavities and channels inside, and studied the interaction between it and hydrogen.
