A search for a long-lived, heavy neutral lepton (N) in 139  fb^{-1} of sqrt[s]=13  TeV pp collision data collected by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider is reported. The N is produced via W→Nμ or W→Ne and decays into two charged leptons and a neutrino, forming a displaced vertex. The N mass is used to discriminate between signal and background. No signal is observed, and limits are set on the squared mixing parameters of the N with the left-handed neutrino states for the N mass range 3  GeV

Article Synopsis
  • A cationic N-heterocyclic phosphenium iron tetracarbonyl complex was synthesized and its reactivity with various anionic reactants was investigated, resulting in different products depending on the anion involved.
  • Reactions with fluoride and chloride produced neutral diazaphospholenes, while bromide and iodide led to NHP iron halides through metal addition and decarbonylation.
  • At room temperature, the cationic complex primarily reduced to form a detectable Fe-centered radical, whereas at -78 °C, CH-metalation was favored, further evidenced by the characterization of a neutral borane-adduct.
  • The complex’s reactivity variations are attributed to its higher electrophilicity compared to neutral complexes

The transformation and risk assessment of flavonoids triggered by free radicals deserve extensive attention. In this work, the degradation mechanisms, kinetics, and ecotoxicity of kaempferol and quercetin mediated by ∙OH, ∙OCH, ∙OOH, and O in gaseous and aqueous environments were investigated using cell experiments and quantum chemical calculations. Three radical scavenging mechanisms, including hydrogen atom transfer (HAT), radical adduct formation (RAF) and single electron transfer (SET) were discussed.

Soil cadmium (Cd) contamination is a non-negligible global environmental issue as it may threaten food security and human health through soil-plant interactions. Nanomaterials have a great potential to decrease Cd bioavailability and bioaccumulation, even though the effects have been inconsistent among various studies. Here we compiled data from 137 experiments on the remediation of Cd-contaminated soils by nanomaterials.

The transition towards climate-neutral industry is a challenge, particularly for heavy industries like steel and basic chemicals. Existing models for assessing industrial transformation often lack spatial resolution and fail to capture individual investment decisions. Consequently, the spatial interplay between industry transformation, energy availability, infrastructure availability, and the dynamics of discrete investments is inadequately addressed.
