Structure–Redox–Magnetism Dynamics Induced by Pd–Fe Interaction in Mixed Iron Oxide Nanoparticles
Abstract The incorporation of noble metals into iron oxide nanomaterials represents an effective strategy to tailor their redox and structural properties through metal-oxide interactions. However, a detailed experimental understanding of these effects is limited. This work invest...

Elastically bendable chiral metal halide crystals
Metal halide single crystals exhibit superior optoelectronic properties, promising for applications in optics and energy. However, they are inherently brittle, which has posed a major challenge for use in flexible electronics. Here, we report the elastic bending in a family of ch...

Abstract Energy flows among coupled subsystems are essential for ultrafast dynamics and high-speed technologies. In magnetic materials, spin fluctuations —magnons— mediate these flows in ultrafast magnetism. Yet momentum-resolved access to low-energy magnons governing the microsc...

ABSTRACT Hybrid metal halides exhibit diverse excited‐state behaviors, yet the molecular‐level origin of pressure‐induced emission enhancement (PIEE) remains elusive. Here, we develop a rational molecular design strategy to isolate pressure‐induced single‐molecule deformation as...

Correlative high-speed synchrotron X-ray and inline coherent imaging of high-power laser welding
Abstract High-power laser welding is central to electric vehicle (EV) manufacturing, yet keyhole instability and associated defects remain difficult to control due to highly transient process dynamics. Here, we combine inline coherent imaging (ICI) and high-speed synchrotron X-ra...

Abstract In bacteria, DnaB replicative helicases are essential for unwinding genomic DNA to provide the single‐stranded templates required for replication. The recruitment of the hexameric DnaB helicase to the origin of replication is mediated by distinct mechanisms that rely on...

Direct Detection of Hydrogen Reveals a New Macroscopic Crustal Water Reservoir on Early Mars
Abstract The next great leap in Martian exploration is the return of samples to Earth. Maximizing their scientific value requires non‐destructive analytical techniques for early three‐dimensional characterization. Neutron computed tomography (CT), highly sensitive to hydrogen, co...

Nitrogen fixing cyanobacteria, such as Anabaena sp. PCC7120, are some of the oldest multicellular organisms. When combined nitrogen sources are scarce, this cyanobacterium compartmentalizes photosynthesis and nitrogen fixation in vegetative cells and in differentiated heterocysts...
