Summary: In this study, a simple strategy was demonstrated for constructing low-tortuosity through-pores in both vertical and planar directions of electrodes by casting large particles into single-particle-layer electrodes. Through multi-scale characterizations and simulations, correlations between material/electrode structures, electrolyte permeability, polysulfide migration, and sulfur reactions were elucidated. The high-loading and dense sulfur cathode fabricated by this method delivers a high specific capacity at a very low electrolyte/sulfur ratio.

Summary: The presented overview discusses the luminescence properties of lanthanide ions in various dielectric crystalline materials for photonics and optoelectronics. Different crystals with distinct crystal structures were chosen, and the behavior of erbium ions was studied and compared. Theoretical simulations were also conducted to better understand the incorporation of erbium in these crystals.

Summary: Atherosclerosis is a complex disease, with unique plaque morphology in each individual. Currently, there is a lack of technique to differentiate stable and unstable plaques and identify those at risk of thromboembolic events. Small-and wide-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS/ WAXS) has the potential to identify key materials in plaques, such as cholesterol species, collagen, LDLs, and hydroxyapatite. Protocols for preparing excised human atherosclerotic tissue have been established, leading to improved sample-to-noise ratio and background subtraction.

Summary: This study introduces a modified version of the Enzo-Parrish method to determine a straight background level with a nonzero gradient. The proposed method uses a scattering vector to determine the background and is validated on the XRD peak of a polymer sample.

Summary: Through large-scale molecular dynamics simulations, we studied the phase behavior of high-pressure ice. The results indicate that some ice phases with a body-centered cubic oxygen lattice belong to the same thermodynamic phase under different conditions, while superionic ice has a first-order phase boundary. Furthermore, at higher pressures, the activation barrier for ice transformation gradually increases. Our study reveals peculiar solid-solid transition mechanisms in high-pressure ice phases.

Summary: This review provides an overview of methods for tracing photoexcitation processes and structural dynamics in the solid state, with a focus on X-ray diffraction techniques. The recent developments and experimental possibilities in the field are discussed, along with data processing and analysis approaches, and illustrated with examples of successful studies. Additionally, selected complementary methods such as ultrafast electron diffraction or time-resolved X-ray absorption spectroscopy are briefly presented.

Summary: Mixtures of ammonia and water are key components in the hot ice mantle regions of icy planets, with AHH playing a pivotal role in precipitating from water-rich mixtures under pressure. Spectroscopic measurements show the spontaneous ionization of AHH under compression, transforming from molecular to ionic states.

Summary: This study investigates the influence of nuclear quantum fluctuations on the properties of dense hydrogen, focusing on its potential metallization. Raman spectroscopy and synchrotron infrared absorption measurements are conducted on deuterium at 460 GPa and 80 K, revealing the isotopic effects on the electronic and vibrational properties in phase III. The findings also suggest a probable transition to metal deuterium, occurring at a shifted pressure compared to hydrogen, and are compared to advanced calculations quantifying the reduction of the band gap caused by nuclear quantum fluctuations.

Summary: This study found that early contact with saliva can potentially decrease the properties of modified surfaces, resulting in decreased cell viability in the surrounding area. Careful surgical insertion of implants with hydrophilic surfaces is recommended to mitigate negative effects of saliva interaction.

Summary: This pilot study investigated the surface alterations caused on hydrophilic nanotubular surfaces after early human saliva interaction. The results showed that saliva interaction did not significantly affect morphological characteristics, roughness, and chemical composition, but altered the hydrophilicity. Without wet storage, saliva contamination significantly reduced the cellular viability of pre-osteoblasts. Therefore, saliva-controlled sites or modified-package methods with wet storage are recommended for oral application of hydrophilic surfaces.

Summary: Y Ta1-xZrxN thin films were deposited by reactive magnetron sputtering to examine the effects of zirconium addition on microstructure, hardness, and high temperature oxidation resistance. All films maintained ZrN crystalline structure, forming a TaZrN solid solution. Zr incorporation did not change hardness, but significantly improved oxidation resistance compared to pure TaN films.
