“…Remote-controlled movement of the α-cyclodextrin ring (green) upon trans–cis isomerization of the azobenzene axle (red) enables the loading and release of drugs on demand (see scheme). Curcumin-loaded MSNPs were shown to release curcumin into zebrafish larvae upon treatment with visible light or heat.…”

Toxic speech and limited demand for content moderation on social media by Pradel, F, Zilinsky, J, Kosmidis, S, Theocharis, Y

“…Yet we know little about what users consider inadmissible to public discourse and what measures they wish to see implemented. Building on past work, we conceptualize three variants of toxic speech: incivility, intolerance, and violent threats. …”

Employment dynamics in a rapid decarbonization of the US power sector by Bücker, J, del Rio-Chanona, RM, Pichler, A, Ives, MC, Farmer, JD

Catullus and the tragedy of Ariadne by Trimble, G

“…The well‐known allusions to tragic prologues in the proem to Catullus 64 raise questions about the generic relationships between tragedy, epic and epyllion which encourage the reader of the poem to see the entire ecphrasis of Ariadne as a tragedy. …”

Scene-conditional 3D object stylization and composition by Zhou, J, Jakab, T, Torr, P, Rupprecht, C

“…We demonstrate that our method applies to a wide variety of indoor and outdoor scenes and arbitrary objects. See also our project page. …”

Fearless asynchronous communications with timed session types in Rust (artifact) by Lagaillardie, N, Hou, P, Yoshida, N

“…This artifact allows to evaluate our approach by running examples from the literature, real-world use cases and protocols from real-time systems, featured in the related article, showcasing the correctness by construction of our approach. We allow to see the performance of our solution by running benchmarks and generating graphs, highlighting a less than 10% compile-time and runtime overhead compared with an untimed implementation. …”

Response of geostationary communications satellite solid-state power amplifiers to high-energy electron fluence by Lohmeyer, Whitney, Carlton, Ashley, Wong, Frankie, Bodeau, Michael, Kennedy, Andrew, Cahoy, Kerri

“…We also find that the accumulated voltages reached are high enough to compromise components in the amplifier system, for example, the direct current (DC) blocking capacitor. An electron beam test using a representative coaxial cable terminated in a blocking capacitor showed that discharges could occur with peak voltages and energies sufficient to damage active RF semiconductor devices.…”

Effects of rapid thermal annealing on structure and luminescence of self-assembled InAs/GaAs quantum dots by Xu, S. J., Wang, X. C., Chua, S. J., Wang, C. H., Fan, Weijun, Jiang, J., Xie, X. G.

“…Postgrowth rapid thermal annealing was used to modify the structural and optical properties of the self-assembled InAs quantum dotsgrown on GaAs substrates by molecular beam epitaxy. It is found that significant narrowing of the luminescencelinewidth (from 78.9 to 20.5 meV) from the InAs dot layer occurs together with about 260 meV blueshift at annealing temperatures up to 850 °C. …”
