Intrinsic exchange bias is known as the unidirectional exchange anisotropy that emerges in a nominally single-component ferro-(ferri-)magnetic system. In this work, with magnetic and structural characterizations, we demonstrate that intrinsic exchange bias is a general phenomenon in (Ni, Co, Fe)-based spinel oxide films deposited onα-AlO(0001) substrates, due to the emergence of a rock-salt interfacial layer consisting of antiferromagnetic CoO from interfacial reconstruction. We show that in NiCoFeO(111)/α-AlO(0001) films, intrinsic exchange bias and interfacial reconstruction have consistent dependences on Co concentration, while the Ni and Fe concentration appears to be less important. This work establishes a family of intrinsic exchange bias materials with great tunability by stoichiometry and highlights the strategy of interface engineering in controlling material functionalities.

Molecular basis for the assembly of the dynein transport machinery on microtubules.

bioRxiv

December 2024

Department of Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry, Yale University, New Haven, CT, 06511, USA.

Cytoplasmic dynein-1, a microtubule-based motor protein, requires dynactin and an adaptor to form the processive dynein-dynactin-adaptor (DDA) complex. The role of microtubules in DDA assembly has been elusive. Here, we reveal detailed structural insights into microtubule-mediated DDA assembly using cryo-electron microscopy.

Clay-catalyzed ozonation of Norfloxacin - Effects of metal cation and degradation rate on aqueous media toxicity towards Lemna minor.

Article Synopsis
  • Norfloxacin was ozonized in clay suspensions to study its toxicity on Lemna minor, which helps assess antibiotic impact in environments with clay.
  • The study found that norfloxacin causes toxicity in Lemna minor through oxidative stress, worsened by ozonation, affecting growth and chlorophyll levels.
  • Results indicate that the type of clay catalyst and the oxidation process influence the toxicity outcomes, revealing the potential formation of more harmful byproducts from the antibiotic.

Accurately predicting carbon prices is crucial for effective government decision-making and maintenance the stable operation of carbon markets. However, the instability and nonlinearity of carbon prices, driven by the complex interaction between economic, environmental, and political factors, often result in inaccurate predictions. To confront this challenge, this paper proposed a carbon price prediction model that integrates dual decomposition integration and error correction.

Topological magnetic skyrmions with helicity state degrees of freedom in centrosymmetric magnets possess great potential for advanced spintronics applications and quantum computing. Till date, the skyrmion study in this class of materials mostly remains focused to collinear ferromagnets with uniaxial magnetic anisotropy. Here, we present a combined theoretical and experimental study on the competing magnetic exchange-induced evolution of noncollinear magnetic ground states and its impact on the skyrmion formation in a series of centrosymmetric hexagonal noncollinear magnets, MnFeCoGe.

Despite the widespread use of MS for hydrogen/deuterium exchange measurements, no systematic, large-scale study has been conducted to compare the observed exchange rates in protein-derived, unstructured peptides measured by MS to the predicted exchange rates calculated from NMR-derived values and how neighboring residues and post-translational modifications influence those exchange rates. In this study, we sought to test the accuracy of predicted values by performing hydrogen exchange measurements on whole cell digests to generate an unbiased dataset of 563 unique peptides derived from naturally-occurring protein sequences. A remarkable 97% of observed exchange rates of peptides are within two-fold of predicted values.
