Live-cell imaging and functional dissection of Xist RNA reveal mechanisms of X chromosome inactivation and reactivation by Ha, Norbert How Ong, Lai, Lan-Tian, Chelliah, Rosi, Zhen, Yashu, Seet, Vanessa Pei Yi, Lai, Soak-Kuan, Li, Hoi-Yeung, Ludwig, Alexander, Sandin, Sara, Chen, Lingyi, Zhang, Li-Feng

“…We double-tagged Xist (inactivated X chromosome-specific transcript), a prototype long non-coding RNA pivotal for X chromosome inactivation (XCI), using the programmable RNA sequence binding domain of Pumilio protein, one tag for live-cell imaging and the other replacing A-repeat (a critical domain of Xist) to generate “ΔA mutant” and to tether effector proteins for dissecting Xist functionality. …”

Laser-Guide-Star Satellite for Ground-Based Adaptive Optics Imaging of Geosynchronous Satellites by Marlow, Weston, Carlton, Ashley, Hyosang, Yoon, Clark, James, Haughwout, Christian, Cahoy, Kerri, Males, Jared, Close, Laird, Morzinski, Katie

“…The concept for a satellite guide star was first discussed in the literature by Greenaway and Clark in the early 1990s ("PHAROS: An Agile Satellite-Borne Laser Guidestar," Proceedings of SPIE, Vol. 2120, 1994, pp. 206-210), and expanded upon by Albert in 2012 ("Satellite-Mounted Light Sources as Photometric Calibration Standards for Ground-Based Telescopes," Astronomical Journal, Vol. 143, No. 1, 2012, p. 8). …”

Carrier localization on the nanometer-scale limits transport in metal oxide photoabsorbers by Schleuning, Markus, Kölbach, Moritz, Ahmet, Ibbi, Präg, Raphael, Gottesman, Ronen, Gunder, Rene, Zhang, Mengyuan, Wargulski, Dan Ralf, Abou-Ras, Daniel, Grave, Daniel A., Abdi, Fatwa F., van de Krol, Roel, Schwarzburg, Klaus, Eichberger, Rainer, Friedrich, Dennis, Hempel, Hannes

“…Their kinetics of thermalization, trapping, localization, and recombination are monitored continuously 100 fs–100 µs and mobilities are determined for different probing lengths by combined time-resolved terahertz and microwave spectroscopy. As common issue, we find small mobilities < 3 cm2V-1s-1. Partial carrier localization further slows carrier diffusion beyond localization lengths of 1–6 nm and explains the extraordinarily long conductivity tails, which should not be taken as a sign of long diffusion lengths. …”

Terahertz conductivity of topological surface states in Bi1.5Sb0.5Te1.8Se1.2 by Tang, Chi Sin, Xia, Bin, Zou, Xingquan, Chen, Shi, Ou, Hong-Wei, Wang, Lan, Rusydi, A., Zhu, Jian-Xin, Chia, Elbert E. M.

“…Using Terahertz Time-Domain Spectroscopy (THz-TDS), we present complex conductivity of BSTS single crystals, disentangling the surface and bulk contributions. We find that the Drude spectral weight is 1–2 orders of magnitude smaller than in other Bi-based topological insulators, and similar to that of Bi2Se3 thin films, suggesting a significant contribution of the topological surface states to the conductivity of the BSTS sample. …”

Strain engineering of antimonene by a first-principles study : mechanical and electronic properties by Kripalani, Devesh Raju, Kistanov, Andrey A., Cai, Yongqing, Xue, Ming, Zhou, Kun

“…Interestingly, the application of uniaxial strain in the zigzag and armchair directions unveil direction-dependent trends in the electronic band structure. We find that the nature of the band gap remains insensitive to strain in the zigzag direction, while strain in the armchair direction activates an indirect-direct band gap transition at a critical strain of 4%, owing to a band switching mechanism. …”

“…The precursor solution is prepared by simply dissolving CsPbBr3 powder and a CsBr additive in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). We find that the CsBr additive not only significantly enhances the PLQY but also induces directional crystal growth into micro-plates, forming a smooth perovskite film for LEDs. …”
