X-ray crystallography is commonly used to determine crystal structures, whether continuous or ultrashort x rays are used. In this paper, it is shown that using only ultrashort pulses, it is possible to determine interplanar spacing in diamond layers, the distance between which can be only a few angstroms. The results obtained can be extended, with further development of the presented theory, to determine 3D objects in the crystal structure, the dimensions of which can be only a few angstroms.

The behavior of triple-cation mixed halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs) under ultrashort laser pulse irradiation at varying fluences is investigated, with a focus on local heating effects observed in femtosecond transient absorption (TA) studies. The carrier cooling time constant is found to increase from 230 fs at 2 µJ cm⁻ to 1.3 ps at 2 mJ cm⁻ while the charge population decay accelerates from tens of nanoseconds to the picosecond range within the same fluence range.

The transient autonomic nervous system responses induced by electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) may serve as critical indicators of treatment efficacy and potential side effects; however, their precise characteristics remains unclear. Considering that the intense stimulation of ECT may disrupt the typical antagonistic relationship between the sympathetic and parasympathetic branches, this study aims to conduct a meticulous analysis of the rapid changes in heart rate variability and heart rate during ECT, with a particular focus on their synchronized interplay. Methods: Pulse interval sequences were collected from fifty sessions of bitemporal ECT administered to twenty-seven patients diagnosed with major depressive disorder.

Antimicrobial surfaces are a promising approach to reduce the spread of pathogenic microorganisms in various critical environments. To achieve high antimicrobial functionality, it is essential to consider the material-specific bactericidal mode of action in conjunction with bacterial surface interactions. This study investigates the effect of altered contact conditions on the antimicrobial efficiency of Cu surfaces against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus.
