Abstract Monsoon low pressure systems (LPS) are synoptic scale disturbances that form over South Asia during the summer monsoon season and often produce extreme precipitation events, causing disastrous floods. Numerous modelling and observational studies have confirmed the role o...

Abstract Biofilm represents a complex aggregation of bacteria embedded within a self-produced extracellular polymeric substance (EPS). We investigated the characteristics of mycobacterial biofilm using Mycobacterium smegmatis (Msm) as a model organism. By combining transcriptomic...

Simultaneous formation of peptides and RNA via prebiotic cross-catalytic enhancement
Nucleoside triphosphates, cyclic monophosphates and amino acids are hypothesized to have been present together in the prebiotic milieu. Earlier studies have demonstrated the importance of their phosphorylation to result in oligomers. In this study, we characterized the cross-cata...

Molecular motor-driven spirals of actin filaments pinned at one end while driven along their length were seen to be scale-independent. The spiral radius and frequency dependence on force was predicted to follow a universal law, validated by actin-myosin experiments. However, the...

To Dope Mo 3+ in Colloidal Nanocrystals
ABSTRACT Mo 3+ shows intra‐configurational spin‐flip (ICSF) d → d electronic transitions, emitting near‐infrared‐II (NIR‐II) radiation. Till date, the emission has been reported from Mo 3+ ‐doped into bulk host materials, in the powder or single crystalline forms. Here we report...

Abstract. We investigate fine-grained algorithmic aspects for classical identification problems in graphs, namely, Locating-Dominating Set, and in set systems, namely, Test Cover. In the first problem, an input is a graph [Formula: see text] on [Formula: see text] vertices and an...

Transformative Materials Research: Defining Conceptual Change across Scales
Abstract What qualifies as transformative materials research? In this Viewpoint, we use “transformative” to denote work that forces revision of underlying assumptions, enables generalization across systems, or reveals regimes inaccessible to existing frameworks. The term is widel...

Grassland destruction causes shifts in plant traits that persist during recovery
Old-growth grasslands assemble over millennia and support high biodiversity and many ecosystem services, but continue to undergo widespread destruction for production of crops, timber, and minerals. How biodiversity recovers after grassland destruction and the functional conseque...

Abstract Transition-metal halides are of particular interest because their partially filled d-orbitals, containing unpaired electrons, give rise to distinctive magnetic and electronic properties. Notably, hydration can act as a structural switch, inducing substantial modification...

Abstract Understanding the link between phase separation (PS) of disease‐linked proteins to form liquid‐like condensates, and their aggregation, requires insights into the conformational changes that the proteins undergo inside the condensates as they age and become solid‐like. I...
