Design of flexible porous materials where the diffusion of guest molecules is regulated by the dynamics of contracted pore aperture is challenging. Here, a flexible porous self-assembly consisting of 1D channels with dynamic bottleneck gates is reported. The dynamic pendant naphthimidazolylmethyl moieties at the channel necks provide kinetic gate function, that enables unusual adsorption for light hydrocarbons. The adsorption for CO is mainly dominated by thermodynamics with the uptakes decreasing with increasing temperature, whereas the adsorptions for larger hydrocarbons are controlled by both thermodynamics and kinetics resulting in an uptake maximum at a temperature threshold. Such an unusual adsorption enables temperature-dependent separation of CO from the corresponding hydrocarbons.

Heat shock factor 1 (HSF1) is the critical orchestrator of cell responses to heat shock, and its dysfunction is linked to various diseases. HSF1 undergoes phase separation upon heat shock, and its activity is regulated by post-translational modifications (PTMs). The molecular details underlying HSF1 phase separation, temperature sensing and PTM regulation remain poorly understood.

Bioanalytical sensors are adept at quantifying target analytes from complex sample matrices with high sensitivity, but their multiplexing capacity is limited. Conversely, analytical separations afford great multiplexing capacity but typically require analyte labeling to increase sensitivity. Here, we report the development of a separation-based sensor to sensitively quantify unlabeled polysaccharides using particle motion tracking within a microfluidic electrophoresis platform.

Multilayered metal-dielectric nanostructures display both a strong plasmonic behavior and hyperbolic optical dispersion. The latter is responsible for the appearance of two separated radiative and nonradiative channels in the extinction spectrum of these structures. This unique property can open plenty of opportunities toward the development of multifunctional systems that simultaneously can behave as optimal scatterers and absorbers at different wavelengths, an important feature to achieve multiscale control of light-matter interactions in different spectral regions for different types of applications, such as optical computing or detection of thermal radiation.

Amphiphilic copolymers of comb-like poly(poly(ethylene glycol) methacrylate) (PPEGMA) with methyl methacrylate (MMA) synthesized by one-pot atom transfer radical polymerization were mixed with lithium bis (trifluoromethanesulfonyl) imide salt to formulate dry solid polymer electrolytes (DSPE) for semisolid-state Li-ion battery applications. The PEO-type side chain length (EO monomer's number) in the PEGMA macromonomer units was varied, and its influence on the mechanical and electrochemical characteristics was investigated. It was found that the copolymers, due to the presence of PMMA segments, possess viscoelastic behavior and less change in mechanical properties than a PEO homopolymer with 100 kDa molecular weight in the investigated temperature range.

PqsE and RhlR, key regulators of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa quorum sensing (QS) system, form a hetero-tetrameric complex essential for controlling the expression of virulence factors such as pyocyanin. The interaction between the PqsE homodimer and the RhlR homodimer bound to C4-HSL, enables RhlR to bind low-affinity promoters, thereby influencing gene regulation. Recent studies suggest that RhlR transcriptional activity is modulated by temperature, exhibiting higher activity at environmental temperatures (25 °C) compared to mammalian body temperature (37 °C).
