Can we achieve atmospheric chemical environments in the laboratory? An integrated model-measurement approach to chamber SOA studies by Kenagy, Hannah S, Heald, Colette L, Tahsini, Nadia, Goss, Matthew B, Kroll, Jesse H

“…Because many SOA model descriptions are derived from environmental chamber experiments, our ability to represent atmospheric conditions in chambers directly affects our ability to assess the air quality and climate impacts of SOA. Here, we develop an approach that leverages global modeling and detailed mechanisms to design chamber experiments that mimic the atmospheric chemistry of organic peroxy radicals (RO2), a key intermediate in VOC oxidation. …”

Alleviation of off-target effects from vector-encoded shRNAs via codelivered RNA decoys by Mockenhaupt, Stefan, Grosse, Stefanie, Rupp, Daniel, Bartenschlager, Ralf, Grimm, Dirk

“…However, in principle, the sense strand also possesses silencing capacity that may contribute to adverse RNAi side effects including off-target gene regulation. Here, we address this concern with a novel strategy that reduces sense strand activity of vector-encoded shRNAs via codelivery of inhibitory tough decoy (TuD) RNAs. …”

In situ transmission electron microscopy observation of electrochemical process between Li–C nanocomposites and multilayer graphene by Wei, Ming Lin, Suresh, Giri, Gupta, Vikaskumar Pradeepkumar, Tomida, Shota, Oyama, Kento, Yaakob, Yazid, Asaka, Toru, Sonoyama, Noriyuki, Mohd. Yusop, Mohd. Zamri, Tanemura, Masaki

“…For this, in situ visualization of Li behavior during the charge/discharge process is essential, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) will be promising for this purpose. Here, a quite simple experimental setup consisting of a newly developed Li–C nanocomposite film sputter-deposited onto Au nanoprotrusions at room temperature and graphene synthesized on a W probe at 500 °C for the in situ TEM observation of the battery reaction is proposed. …”
