Green Nanochemistry:Metal Oxide Nanoparticles and Porous Thin Films from Bare Metal Powders
Cataloged from PDF version of article.A universal, simple, robust, widely applicable and cost-effective aqueous process is described for a controlled oxidative dissolution process of micrometer-sized metal powders to form high-purity aqueous dispersions of colloidally stable 3-8 nm metal oxide nanoparticles. Their utilization for making single and multilayer optically transparent high-surface-area nanoporous films is demonstrated. This facile synthesis is anticipated to find numerous applications in materials science, engineering, and nanomedicine. Copyright © 2012 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim
Scale-invariant magnetoresistance in a cuprate superconductor
The anomalous metallic state in high-temperature superconducting cuprates is
masked by the onset of superconductivity near a quantum critical point. Use of
high magnetic fields to suppress superconductivity has enabled a detailed study
of the ground state in these systems. Yet, the direct effect of strong magnetic
fields on the metallic behavior at low temperatures is poorly understood,
especially near critical doping, . Here we report a high-field
magnetoresistance study of thin films of \LSCO cuprates in close vicinity to
critical doping, . We find that the metallic state
exposed by suppressing superconductivity is characterized by a
magnetoresistance that is linear in magnetic field up to the highest measured
fields of T. The slope of the linear-in-field resistivity is
temperature-independent at very high fields. It mirrors the magnitude and
doping evolution of the linear-in-temperature resistivity that has been
ascribed to Planckian dissipation near a quantum critical point. This
establishes true scale-invariant conductivity as the signature of the strange
metal state in the high-temperature superconducting cuprates.Comment: 10 pages, 3 figure

Periscope Proteins are variable-length regulators of bacterial cell surface interactions
Changes at the cell surface enable bacteria to survive in dynamic environments, such as diverse niches of the human host. Here, we reveal “Periscope Proteins” as a widespread mechanism of bacterial surface alteration mediated through protein length variation. Tandem arrays of highly similar folded domains can form an elongated rod-like structure; thus, variation in the number of domains determines how far an N-terminal host ligand binding domain projects from the cell surface. Supported by newly available long-read genome sequencing data, we propose that this class could contain over 50 distinct proteins, including those implicated in host colonization and biofilm formation by human pathogens. In large multidomain proteins, sequence divergence between adjacent domains appears to reduce interdomain misfolding. Periscope Proteins break this “rule,” suggesting that their length variability plays an important role in regulating bacterial interactions with host surfaces, other bacteria, and the immune system
Axial Vector Charmonium and Bottomonium Hybrid Mass Predictions with QCD Sum-Rules
Axial vector charmonium and bottomonium hybrid masses are
determined via QCD Laplace sum-rules. Previous sum-rule studies in this channel
did not incorporate the dimension-six gluon condensate, which has been shown to
be important for and heavy quark hybrids. An updated analysis
of axial vector charmonium and bottomonium hybrids is presented, including the
effects of the dimension-six gluon condensate. The axial vector charmonium and
bottomonium hybrid masses are predicted to be 5.13 GeV and 11.32 GeV,
respectively. We discuss the implications of this result for the
charmonium-like XYZ states and the charmonium hybrid multiplet structure
observed in recent lattice calculations.Comment: 10 pages, 7 figures. Updated to match published versio
