Abstract

The translational and orientational dynamics of water in carbon nanotubes has been studied by quasi-elastic neutron scattering from 300 down to 10 K. Results show that, reducing temperature below 200 K, part of this water behaves as a quasi-free rotor, that is, the orientational energy of such molecules becomes comparable to the rotational energy of water in the gas phase. This novel and unique dynamic behavior is related to the appearance of water molecules characterized by a coordination number of about two, which is promoted by sub-nanometer axial confinement. This peculiar molecular arrangement allows water to show an active rotational dynamics even at temperatures as low as 10 K. The translational mobility shows a behavior compatible with the rotational one.

Spatially confined protein assembly in hierarchical mesoporous metal-organic framework

Xiaoliang Wang, Lilin He, Jacob Sumner, Shuo Qian, Qiu Zhang, Hugh O'Neill, Yimin Mao, Chengxia Chen, Abdullah M. Al-Enizi, Ayman Nafady, Shengqian Ma

Summary: Immobilization of biomolecules into porous materials can improve their stability and ease of reuse. Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are promising for immobilizing large biomolecules, but their spatial arrangement within the pores is still not fully understood. In this study, researchers used in situ small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) to investigate the spatial arrangement of green fluorescent protein in a mesoporous MOF, revealing that protein molecules form assemblies through adsorbate-adsorbate interactions across pore apertures. This finding provides a crucial foundation for understanding protein structural basics in the confinement environment of MOFs.

Hassan Khoder, Jean-Marc Zanotti, Jacques Ollivier, Xavier Le Goff, Renaud Podor, Diane Rebiscoul

Summary: In this study, silica microfibers embedded in alumina membrane were used to investigate the anisotropy of water dynamics at a picosecond timescale. The optimal preparation conditions for obtaining longitudinal silica mesopores orientation were studied, and the impact of ethanol content and aspiration pressure on mesopore orientation and filling was characterized. The dynamics of water molecules in parallel and perpendicular directions were measured using quasi-elastic neutron scattering, revealing anisotropic behavior with a larger perpendicular diffusion coefficient compared to the parallel direction.

Summary: This article discusses the long-standing question in nuclear physics of whether chargeless nuclear systems can exist. The researchers report on the observation of a resonance-like structure in the four-neutron system, indicating the existence of a quasi-bound tetraneutron state for a very short time. The measured energy and width of this state serve as an important benchmark for understanding the nuclear force.

Phase transitions in nanostructured water confined in carbon nanotubes by external electric and magnetic fields: a molecular dynamics investigation

Mohsen Abbaspour, Hamed Akbarzadeh, Sirous Salemi, Leila Bahmanipour

Summary: The application of electric and magnetic fields on water molecules confined in carbon nanotubes has significant implications for cell biology and nanotechnology. Through molecular dynamics simulations, it was found that confined water molecules undergo phase transitions from pentagonal to twisted pentagonal, spiral, and circular shapes with increasing electric field intensity. The highest magnetic field can induce a more ordered pentagonal shape, while ring-like shapes formed in the presence of an electric field exhibit more hydrogen bonds compared to other structures. The phase transitions of confined water molecules were confirmed through radial distribution function (RDF) and angle distribution function (ADF) analyses.

Pore wall corrugation effect on the dynamics of adsorbed H2 studied by in situ quasi-elastic neutron scattering: Observation of two timescaled diffusion

Miriam Koppel, Rasmus Palm, Riinu Harmas, Margarita Russina, Veronika Grzimek, Jacek Jagiello, Maarja Paalo, Heisi Kurig, Martin Mansson, Ove Oll, Enn Lust

Summary: This study investigates the self-diffusion mechanisms of adsorbed H2 in different porous structures using in situ quasielastic neutron scattering method. The results show that H2 adsorbed in nanometer-scale pores self-diffuses in two distinguishable timescales, and the pore shape, pore wall shape, and corrugation have an effect on the fraction of confined and mobile H2. The difference in self-diffusional properties of the two H2 components is smaller in smoother-walled pores, which is attributed to the effect of pore wall corrugation on the homogeneity of formed adsorbed layers.

Summary: The Coulomb-free S-1(0) proton-proton (p-p) scattering length is determined using the quasi-free p + d -> p + p + n reaction. The resulting p-p scattering length is -18.17 (+0.52)(-0.58)vertical bar(stat) +/- 0.01(syst) fm and the effective range is 2.80 +/- 0.05(stat) +/- 0.001(syst) fm. A model based on universality concepts is developed to interpret this result and suggests assessing the charge symmetry breaking of the short-range interaction.

On the Source of the Anomalous ULF Waves Detected at Both Ground and Space-Borne Data on 23 June 2020

M. Piersanti, S. Di Matteo, Z. Zhima, Y. Yang, Z. Zhang, M. F. Marcucci, A. Parmentier, G. D'Angelo, D. Recchiuti, P. Diego, P. Ubertini

Summary: In this study, a highly monochromatic and large-amplitude Ultra Low Frequency (ULF) wave event observed on 23 June 2020 was analyzed. Using spacecraft in the interplanetary medium, the possible driver of this global ULF wave activity was identified. The characteristics of the ULF waves, such as their prolonged duration, latitude-independent frequency, and small azimuthal wave number, suggest a global magnetospheric waveguide mode. The analysis also revealed a coupling between the waveguide mode and field line resonance. Additionally, evidence of a rapid reconfiguration of the magnetotail in the form of Pi2 waves was found during the same time interval. The analysis of energetic particle flux at ionospheric height showed a direct connection between the ULF wave activity and particle precipitation.

Summary: This paper discusses the evolution of solar activity and its effects on the Earth's ionosphere, with a focus on the observations in the circumterrestrial environment. The study analyzes data from interplanetary, magnetospheric, and low Earth orbiting satellites to investigate the propagation of interplanetary coronal mass ejections and their interaction with the magnetosphere-ionosphere system. The findings show the activation of magnetospheric current systems and the rapid loss of relativistic electrons as the primary impacts during the geomagnetic storm.

Summary: One of the challenges for new generation Condensed Matter physicists is to develop novel devices that control sound propagation at terahertz frequency. This study used high spectral contrast Inelastic X-ray Scattering to compare the acoustic damping in a dilute suspension of nanospheres in glycerol and pure glycerol. Bayesian inference-based modeling of measured spectra suggests that the spectral contribution of collective modes in the glycerol suspension becomes barely detectable at sufficiently large distances.

Summary: This study presents the results of a systematic investigation on the ionospheric electric field in the southern hemisphere's Auroral Oval region. Using electric field measurements taken by the Chinese Seismo-Electromagnetic Satellite-01 (CSES-01), the researchers developed a new technique to detect the satellite's crossing of the Auroral Oval based solely on electric field measurements. They validated this method and identified approximately 3000 orbits out of a dataset of 10,000 where CSES-01 crossed the Auroral Oval under conditions of high geomagnetic activity.

Summary: GRB 221009A is a long gamma-ray burst that is both highly energetic and close to Earth (z = 0.151). The burst released such a large amount of energy that it caused ionization in the upper layers of Earth's atmosphere and produced observable signals in satellite-based particle detectors. Electron signals, which correlated with the time development of the GRB, were found in three satellites that were well exposed to the burst. The properties of these electron signals are reported and discussed.
