Summary: Granular crystals are a new class of artificial elastic materials with exotic wave transport properties. This study investigates the linear wave dynamics in 1D zigzag granular chains using a spring-mass model, which shows remarkable agreement with experimental measurements. The existence of localized translational-rotational coupled modes at the ends of granular chains is confirmed, suggesting potential applications in advanced elastic wave control scenarios.

Summary: Urea molecules at charged aqueous interfaces exhibit unique solvation properties, with the ability to serve as a probe for local electric fields. The addition of ionic surfactants induces specific vibrational bands in HD-VSFG spectra, providing insights into the orientation of urea molecules at the interface.

Summary: The relative stability of reactive intermediates and reactants on a surface plays a crucial role in determining the rate and selectivity of catalytic reactions. It has been found that interactions between adsorbed reaction intermediates and reactant molecules can increase binding energy and influence the arrangement of coadsorbed reactant/solvent molecules.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of inorganic particle density on the migratory behaviors of macrophages. The results demonstrate that higher particle density leads to decreased mobility of macrophages. This finding serves as a reminder to consider particle density in the design of biological applications.

Summary: Seepage-induced instabilities are a challenge in geotechnical applications. Current understanding is based on macro-scale perspective, but this study demonstrates the value of combining particle-scale experiments and numerical studies to gain a comprehensive insight. The experiments use transparent soil samples and particle image velocimetry to monitor and extract three-dimensional pore topology, which is then imported into computational fluid dynamics simulations for analysis. The comparison of data from different approaches shows successful reconstruction of pore structure and flow-field analysis.

Summary: This study used charge detection mass spectrometry to dynamically monitor the mass and charge of individual aqueous nanodrops in a size range relevant to gaseous macromolecular ion formation. The results showed the first direct observation of ion emission from aqueous nanodrops in late stages of droplet evaporation, which is important for understanding macromolecular ion formation.

Summary: In a quasi-two-dimensional system of magnetic spherical particles on a shallow concave dish under a temporally oscillating magnetic field, the energy losses from collisions and friction with the dish surface are compensated by continuous energy input from the magnetic field. Particle motions resemble that of atoms and molecules in glass or crystal-forming fluid, experiencing an additional force towards the center of the dish due to its curvature. Decreasing the magnetic field leads to decreased effective temperature and slower particle motion, eventually resulting in crystallization and the growth of a hexagonal lattice structure. The study supports nonclassical theories of crystal formation, where initially a dense amorphous aggregate of particles forms and rearranges internally to form the crystalline nucleus before growing into a crystal following classical theory.

Summary: In this paper, a new multilevel method is proposed to reduce the computational complexity to O(log(N)) per Metropolis-Hastings step while maintaining errors comparable to direct Ewald summation. By better balancing the time spent in the proposal- and acceptance-stages of each Metropolis-Hastings step, the overall cost is reduced, allowing for the simulation of very large systems of charged particles with accurate electrostatics.

Summary: This study investigated the endocytosis dynamics of two different ErbB receptors using dark-field microscopy. The results showed that the internalization rate of cAuNRs was faster than that of tAuNRs. This research provides insights into the endocytosis process of the ErbB receptor family at the nanometer scale and could be potentially useful for developing cancer treatment strategies.

Summary: This study explores the potential link between conformational changes in the carboxyl-terminal extension of cryptochrome and its downstream signaling functions. The researchers directly observe the displacement of the carboxyl-terminal extension upon blue light excitation and propose possible structures of full-length cryptochrome. These structures provide a molecular basis for understanding the light-induced changes in cryptochrome and its regulatory functions.

Summary: The study developed a flow-through, electrically charged, granular-activated carbon-filled column for effective nitrate removal from groundwater. High removal rate was achieved through a combination of electrosorption and electrochemical transformation, with the column being readily regenerated by reversing the polarity of the applied potential.

Summary: This study investigates the electrostatic interactions between charged electret fibers and the SARS-CoV-2 virus model, revealing how pH and salt concentration affect the scale and sign of the interaction. Additionally, the structure of spike proteins near the electret fiber plays a crucial role in the strength of the interaction, highlighting the importance of spike protein charge regulation.

Summary: Diffusiophoresis, mediated by an imposed ionic concentration gradient, is a useful technique for directed migration of colloids. Theoretical studies on diffusiophoresis in a polymer hydrogel medium are limited due to the presence of nonlinear terms in the fluid transport equations. In this study, the finite ion size effects on diffusiophoresis of a charged particle in a hydrogel medium are considered, and the modified ion transport equations coupled with the Brinkman equation and the Poisson equation are numerically solved. The impacts of hindered diffusivity of ions and finite ion size effect on diffusiophoresis are analyzed, and a simplified expression for the mobility in a hydrogel medium is proposed.
