Polyfluorinated crosslinker-based solid polymer electrolytes for long-cycling 4.5 V lithium metal batteries by Tang, Lingfei, Chen, Bowen, Zhang, Zhonghan, Ma, Changqi, Chen, Junchao, Huang, Yage, Zhang, Fengrui, Dong, Qingyu, Xue, Guoyong, Chen, Daiqian, Hu, Chenji, Li, Shuzhou, Liu, Zheng, Shen, Yanbin, Chen, Qi, Chen, Liwei

“…Solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs), which are favorable to form intimate interfacial contacts with electrodes, are promising electrolyte of choice for long-cycling lithium metal batteries (LMBs). However, typical SPEs with easily oxidized oxygen-bearing polar groups exhibit narrow electrochemical stability window (ESW), making it impractical to increase specific capacity and energy density of SPE based LMBs with charging cut-off voltage of 4.5 V or higher. …”

Reactivating and reorganizing activity-silent working memory: two distinct mechanisms underlying pinging the brain by Yang, C, He, X, Cai, Y

“…Recent studies have proposed that visual information in working memory (WM) can be maintained in an activity-silent state and reactivated by task-irrelevant high-contrast visual impulses (“ping”). Although pinging the brain has become a popular tool for exploring activity-silent WM, its underlying mechanisms remain unclear. …”

Search for long-lived heavy neutrinos in the decays of B mesons produced in proton-proton collisions at √𝑠 = 13 TeV by Hayrapetyan, A., Tumasyan, A., Adam, W., Andrejkovic, J. W., Bergauer, T., Chatterjee, S., Damanakis, K., Dragicevic, M., Hussain, P. S., Jeitler, M., Krammer, N., Li, A., Liko, D., Mikulec, I., Schieck, J., Schöfbeck, R., Schwarz, D.

“…Limits at 95% confidence level on the sum of the squares of the mixing amplitudes between heavy and light neutrinos, |VN|2, and on cτN are obtained in different mixing scenarios for both Majorana and Dirac-like N particles. The most stringent upper limit |VN|2 < 2.0 × 10−5 is obtained at mN = 1.95 GeV for the Majorana case where N mixes exclusively with muon neutrinos. …”
