Nonthermal solid-solid phase transition in ferromagnetic iron by Azadi, S, Wark, J, Vinko, SM

“…The transition corresponds to a solid-solid BCC to FCC phase transformation and takes place at an electron temperature of 0.62 eV while the ion lattice remains near room temperature. The BCC structure initially undergoes phonon softening during the magnetic transformation, followed by a solid-solid phase transition to the FCC structure, and a subsequent hardening of phonon modes. …”

Metal oxide-coated three-dimensional graphene prepared by the use of metal-organic frameworks as precursors by Cao, Xiehong, Zheng, Bing, Rui, Xianhong, Shi, Wenhui, Yan, Qingyu, Zhang, Hua

“…As a proof-of-concept application, the obtained ZnO/3DGN and Fe2O3/3DGN materials were used in a photocatalytic reaction and a lithium-ion battery, respectively. We believe this method could be extended to the synthesis of other metal oxide/3DGN composites with 3D structures simply through the appropriate choice of specific MOFs as precursors.…”

A three-membered diazo-aluminum heterocycle to access an Al=C π bonding species by Yan, Chenting, Kinjo, Rei

“…Compound (4) is thermally unstable and spontaneously releases N2 gas under the mild reaction condition to generate an ion-separated species 5. An X-ray study shows that the anionic part of 5 bears a considerable short exocyclic Al-C bond, and computational studies involving molecular orbital and natural bond orbital analysis indicate the Al=C π bonding character. …”

A Mitochondrial Basis for Heart Failure Progression by Watson, WD, Arvidsson, PM, Miller, JJJ, Lewis, AJ, Rider, OJ

“…It requires 6 kg of ATP per day to satisfy demands of external work (mechanical force generation) and internal work (ion movements and basal metabolism). The heart is able to link supply with demand via direct responses to ADP and AMP concentrations but calcium concentrations within myocytes play a key role, signalling both inotropy, chronotropy and matched increases in ATP production. …”
