The formed He (α) clusters consisting of two neutrons and two protons can be a building block in light nuclear systems. Intriguingly, these alpha clusters could potentially form alpha condensate states within the nuclear system. The Hoyle state at 7.65 MeV in C, which plays an essential role in stellar nucleosynthesis, is now considered to be a phase transition, namely the 3α Bose-Einstein condensate. Confirming the existence of Hoyle-analog states in Nα nuclei (N > 3) remains a major challenge. Here we show microscopic five-body calculations for the Ne nucleus. We find that one excited 0 state has a distinct gas-like characteristic and represents the condensate state. Identifying the 5α condensate state is an important step in establishing the concept of α condensation in nuclear fermion systems.

Organoboron complexes have garnered significant attention due to their remarkable optical properties and diverse applications. However, synthesizing stable fused five-, six- and seven-membered organoboron complexes possess significant challenges. In this study, we successfully developed novel mono-nuclear (6-8 & 10) and di-nuclear (9) organoboron complexes supported by triaminoguanidine-salicylidene based -symmetric Schiff base ligands one-step condensation reaction with excess phenylboronic acid.

Disordered regions are an important functional feature of many multidomain proteins. A prime example is proteins in membraneless organelles, which contain folded domains that engage in specific interactions and disordered low-complexity (LC) domains that mediate liquid-liquid phase separation. Studying these complex architectures remains challenging due to their conformational variability.

Anion-exchange membrane fuel cell (AEMFC) is a cost-effective hydrogen-to-electricity conversion technology under a zero-emission scenario. However, the sluggish kinetics of the anodic hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR) impedes the commercial implementation of AEMFCs. Here, we develop a Pd single-atom-embedded NiN catalyst (Pd/NiN) with unconventional PdNi trimer sites to drive efficient and durable HOR in alkaline media.

A theoretical framework is presented to investigate the stability of novel two-dimensional quantum droplets within zeroth-order Bessel lattices. The evolution of quantum droplets is studied by the Gross-Pitaevskii equations with Lee-Huang-Yang corrections. The circular groove structure inherent in the zeroth-order Bessel lattice potential facilitates the formation of distinct configurations, including stable zero-vorticity annular quantum droplets and annular quantum droplets featuring embedded vorticity.

Climate change policies are driving the oil and gas industry to explore CO injection for carbon dioxide storage in reservoirs. In the United States, a substantial portion of oil production relies on CO-enhanced-oil-recovery (CO-EOR), demonstrating a growing interest in using CO to address various production challenges like condensate mitigation, pressure maintenance, and enhancing productivity in tight reservoirs. CO injection introduces gases like natural gas and N, either pre-existing or as impurities in the injected CO gas.
