Molecular dynamics simulation: effect of sulfation on the structure of curdlan triple helix in aqueous solution by Gao, Yufu, Feng, Xuan, Zhang, Ran, Xiao, Jie, Huang, Qingrong, Li, Jiawei, Shi, Tongfei

“…When substitutions occur at both the O4 and O6 sites simultaneously (O4,6), the electrostatic repulsion between numerous sulfate groups introduces considerable energy perturbation to the triple helix, leading to alterations in the glucan chain conformation and consequent destabilization of the triple helix structure. Meanwhile, we find that even if the sulfation substitution is performed at the same substitution sites, the difference in the degree of substitution also has an impact on the triple helix stability. …”

Unveiling the chirality of the quantum anomalous Hall effect by Chen, Hongyu, Jin, Yuanjun, Mohammad Yahyavi, Belopolski, Ilya, Shao, Sen, Hou, Tao, Wang, Naizhou, Hsu, Chia-Hsiu, Zhao, Yilin, Yang, Bo, Ma, Qiong, Yin, Jia-Xin, Xu, Su-Yang, Gao, Weibo, Chang, Guoqing

“…The quantized lδz will also give rise to a unique quantized magnetic circular dichroism effect in the case of resonance absorption. By lδz, we find that the chiral flow-direction of an electron in the QAHE is not explicitly related to the intrinsic spin axis, thereby enabling the spin-momentum-unlocking edge states in an antiferromagnetic QAHE system. …”

Translational and rotational critical-like behaviors in the glass transition of colloidal ellipsoid monolayers by Zheng, Zhongyu, Ni, Ran, Wang, Yuren, Han, Yilong

“…Here, through experiments and simulations, we show critical-like behaviors in both translational and rotational degrees of freedom in monolayers of monodisperse colloidal ellipsoids in the absence of crystalline orders. We find rich features of the Ising-like criticality in structure and slow dynamics at the ideal glass transition point ϕ0, showing the thermodynamic nature of glass transition at ϕ0. …”
