Summary: The chemical study of materials from natural history and cultural heritage presents challenges due to their complexity and non-reproducibility, but also offers innovative approaches for historical information. Synchrotron methods have been crucial in studying heritage objects, providing speciation information and high-resolution imaging. These developments have paved the way for novel approaches in characterizing ancient and historical materials, with implications for machine learning methods and related fields beyond heritage studies.

Summary: In the lungs, asbestos forms Asbestos Bodies (AB) with a Fe-rich coating, serving as the interface between foreign fibers and the host organism. A novel combination of x-ray tomography and spectroscopy allowed the study of unaltered lung tissue samples containing chrysotile and crocidolite asbestos. The composition of all ABs analyzed was similar, indicating possible sources of Fe from the fibers or the host organism, with a decrease in silicon concentration from core to rim.

Summary: In this study, operando structural analyses of graphite electrode in lithium-ion batteries were performed using neutron diffraction and synchrotron radiation X-ray diffraction. The results provide insights into the phase evolution and structural transition of lithium-intercalated graphite. The study reveals that the in-plane structure of graphite transitions from LiC6-type to LiC9-type during lithium de-intercalation, and the LiC9-type arrangement is retained in Li-poor phases. This research is significant for understanding the structural changes in lithium-ion battery materials.

Summary: Lead-containing relaxor ferroelectrics exhibit significant piezoelectric capabilities due to their heterogeneous structures. Time-resolved nanobeam X-ray diffraction reveals the local lattice strain and Bragg intensity distributions under an alternating electric field, demonstrating the presence of nanodomains with different responses within the measured local area. The dynamic motion of nanodomains in the heterogeneous structure enables large piezoelectric lattice strain and fatigue-free ferroelectric polarization switching.

Summary: In this study, a multi-scale correlative approach was used to compare artificially demineralised human enamel with healthy enamel, revealing structural differences at the micron to sub-micron scale. The decrease in Ca/P atomic % ratio in etched samples compared to healthy enamel, as shown by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, suggests greater loss of calcium. Synchrotron wide-angle X-ray scattering was employed to analyze differences in lattice structure and texture before and after etching, providing insights into the demineralisation-induced enamel structure alteration.

Summary: In this study, two Bi-Mo-Co-Fe-O catalysts were synthesized and tested for their catalytic performance in selective oxidation of propylene to acrolein. The structural changes during oxidation and reaction processes were observed using various operando techniques. The formation of different oxide phases and the interaction between MoO3 and other oxides were found to be crucial for high performance. The combination of complementary operando methods bridged the knowledge gap between simplified model systems and complex catalysts.

Summary: Assessing local residual stress and orientation within steel grains at nanometer resolution remains challenging. Using dark field X-ray microscopy, 3D lattice variations in pearlitic steel were mapped, showing orientation variations and compressive elastic strain. These variations impact manufacturing processes and mechanical properties, but there is no direct correlation between measured compressive strain and lattice orientation.

Summary: This paper presents new multi-proxy records of Holocene environmental and climatic changes in the Western Caucasus based on a continuous sediment core from Lake Khuko. Warm periods and cold periods since 10.5 ka BP were characterized by specific biological productivity and organic content variations, indicating shifts in forest expansion and vegetation belts. Abrupt changes around 4.2-3.5 ka BP suggest complex climatic fluctuations in the region.

Summary: The n-alkane records in the sediments of Shuanghu Lake in the Altai Mountains indicate an increasing trend in moisture since 9.0 kyr BP, with periodic cold and wet events. The hydrological patterns at Shuanghu Lake during the Holocene differ from those in monsoonal Asia, possibly due to the response to decreasing Arctic sea ice cover.

Summary: This paper presents measurements of the relative decrease of light output during irradiation of small plastic scintillator tiles read out by silicon photomultipliers. The study found substantial temporary damage during low-temperature irradiation, regardless of oxygen concentration and wrapping material. The wrapping material had an impact on the relative light loss, with the 3M(TM) Enhanced Specular Reflector Film showing the largest loss. The light loss was less at warmer temperatures and similar to that in standard atmosphere with 3% oxygen concentration. Evidence of a plateau in the radical density was seen for the data at 0 degrees C.
