Among others, DNA stands out as an ideal biological regulator. Its inherent programmability and interaction capabilities allow it to significantly modulate nanozyme activity. This study delves into the dynamic interplay between DNA and molybdenum-zinc single-atom nanozymes(Mo-Zn SANs). Using molecular dynamics simulations, we uncover how DNA influences the peroxidase-like activities of Mo-Zn SANs, providing a foundational understanding that broadens the application scope of SANs in biosensing.With these insights as a foundation, we developed and demonstrated a model aptasensor for point-ofcare testing(POCT), utilizing a label-free colorimetric approach that leverages DNA-nanozyme interactions to achieve high-sensitivity detection of lysozyme. Our work elucidates the nuanced control DNA exerts over nanozyme functionality and illustrates the application of this molecular mechanism through a smartphone-assisted biosensing platform. This study not only underscores the practical implications of DNA-regulated Mo-Zn SANs in enhancing biosensing platforms, but also highlights the potential of single-atom nanozyme technology to revolutionize diagnostic tools through its inherent versatility and sensitivity.展开更多

The results showed that Ce could be largely absorbed by the roots ofA. thaliana and translocated to the shoots. But the uptake rates of Ce by the roots were much higher than the translocation rates from roots to shoots. Ultrastructural analysis revealed that Ce was mainly distributed on the cell wall. At higher concentration, Ce could also enter cell, destroy the ultrastructure of cells and disturb the intrinsic balance of nutrient elements of A, thaliana, Addition of Ce （50-500 μmol/L） to the culture medium significantly inhibited the elongation of primary roots, decreased chlorophyll content, rosette diameter and fresh mass of plants. The damage increased with the increase of Ce concentration in culture medium, although primary root elongation, chlorophyll content, and rosette diameter were stimulated by relatively low concentration （0.5 μmol/L） of Ce. Thus, it is speculated that REEs may become a new type contamination if we don＇t well control the release of REEs into the environment.展开更多

The microstructures of the Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloys were studied using scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction. Secondary phases in the microstructures of the alloys prepared by spray deposition and conventional cast were examined. The results indicate that under the conventional casting condition, the microstructure of the alloy revealed the presence of coarse Al/Mg（ZnCu）2 eutectic phases, and the spray deposited process causes an obvious modification in size, morphology, and distribution of secondary phases in the microstructure as well as reduction of segregation. The superior microstructure of the spray-deposited Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy was attributed to the high cooling rate, and associated with the rapid solidification process.展开更多

SEM and AFM were used to detect the shape of grain boundaries. The orientation of the grain was studied by X-ray diffractometry. The results show that the nucleation points locate at the intersections of three adjacent grains. The lattice orientation of grains does not alter in the horizontal direction, but gradually approaches the optimum growth direction in the vertical direction during the growth process. All the grains suffer the competition and only the one whose orientation is closest to the preferred direction can occupy the final growth space.展开更多

文摘In this study,the solid structure,dissolution behavior,thermodynamic properties and nucleation kinetics of malonamide were explored.Firstly,the Hirshfeld surface analysis and molecular electrostatic potential surface were plotted to reveal the percentage contribution of various intermolecular contacts and location of the strongest hydrogen bond.Next,the solubility of malonamide in 12 solvents was determined by dynamic method at temperatures from 278.15 K to 318.15 K.Four thermodynamic models were applied to analyze solubility results.In addition,the thermodynamic properties were calculated to further analyze and discuss the dissolution behavior of malonamide.Moreover,the physicochemical properties of solvents were explored to express the solvent effects.The results illustrate“like dissolves like”,“mass transfer”and“solvent–solute interaction”rules play the synergistic effects on the dissolution process.The molecular dynamic simulation,including radial distribution function analysis and solvent free energy,was used to further explain the dissolution behavior.At last,the nucleation rate and effective interfacial energy in methanol solvent was measured and calculated to reveal the nucleation behaviour.

文摘Glioblastoma(GBM)is a highly vascularized malignant brain tumor with poor clinical outcomes.Vasculogenic mimicry(VM)formed by aggressive GBM cells is an alternative approach for tumor blood supply and contributes to the failure of anti-angiogenic therapy.To date,there is still a lack of effective drugs that target VM formation in GBM.In the present study,we evaluated the effects of the plant cyclopeptide moroidin on VM formed by GBM cells and investigated its underlying molecular mechanisms.Moroidin significantly suppressed cell migration,tube formation,and the expression levels ofα-smooth muscle actin and matrix metalloproteinase-9 in human GBM cell lines at sublethal concentrations.The RNA sequencing data suggested the involvement of the epithelialmesenchymal transition(EMT)pathway in the mechanism of moroidin.Exposure to moroidin led to a concentration-dependent decrease in the expression levels of the EMT markers N-cadherin and vimentin in GBM cells.Moreover,moroidin significantly reduced the level of phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase(p-ERK)and inhibited the activation of β-catenin.Finally,we demonstrated that the plant cyclopeptide moroidin inhibited VM formation by GBM cells through inhibiting the ERK/β-catenin-mediated EMT.Therefore,our study indicates a potential application of moroidin as an anti-VM agent in the treatment of GBM.

文摘The effect of multiphase microstructure in the center segregation zones(CSZ)of high-strength steel thick plates on work hardening characteristics and crack initiation/propagation were studied.Microstructure was correlated with deformation damage behavior by using Taylor factor(TF)gradients,kernel average misorientation(KAM),and geometric necessary dislocation(GND)density.The results show that the segregation leads to a mixed structure of ferrite(soft phase)and martensite/bainite(hard phase)in the center of the thick plate.Compared to the 1/4 thickness(1/4 T)region,grain refinement occurred in the CSZ,with KAM values increasing from 0.24 to 0.49 and a decrease in the proportion of high-angle grain boundaries(>15°)from 77.4 to 51.8%.In the process of deformation,due to the influence of grain refinement and adjacent martensite/bainite,ferrite grains were divided into structural units with different TF values.The higher KAM value and GND density at the interface between soft/hard phases resulted in severe work hardening.In addition,the presence of micron-sized inclusions in the CSZ caused local strain concentration and non-continuous deformation of the matrix,which induced crack initiation.The fracture surface showed a mixed mode of brittle cleavage fracture and ductile fracture.
文摘To explore the response law of non-lethal large-size kinetic energy projectiles to blunt attack on skin tissue,and to evaluate the skin injury characteristics of the attacked personnel and the use safety of kinetic energy projectiles.Based on the LS-DYNA simulation software,a three-layer skin simulation model and a Flash-Ball rubber bullet model are established,and the force-time and deformation-time biomechanical corridors of the Flash-Ball rubber bullet impacting human skin tissue are obtained.The corridor curve and the energy transfer and diffusion are analyzed and compared.The safety evaluation of the damage caused by the rubber bullet shooting a human body at different distances is carried out using the empirical formula of the penetration limit.Finally,the safe shooting distance is obtained.The results show that the model used in the simulation has a good correlation with the experimental data,its biomechanical corridor characteristics are different from those of conventional vehicle impact and smallsize projectile response characteristics.The energy transfer and action time of medium and low-speed impact may cause greater damage.The fat layer is the largest energy absorption unit.The minimum safe shooting distance to ensure skin tissue from penetrating damage is 15.8 m,and the limit specific kinetic energy of skin damage is 7.88 J/cm^(2).This study can be extended to the study of biomechanical response law and safety evaluation under the impact of the same type of large kinetic energy projectile,which provides an important theoretical reference for the police to use large kinetic energy projectiles to conduct safe shooting in peacekeeping operations.

文摘Segregation of solute atoms in the center of thick plates of the tempered steel can cause an inhomogeneous structural transformation and generate micron-sized inclusions,which leads to lamellar tearing of thick plate and decreases the plasticity and toughness.The formation and fragmentation mechanisms of micron-sized inclusions,like MnS and(Nb,Ti)C,in the center of thick plates were investigated by using thermodynamic calculations,finite element simulations,and electron backscatter diffraction characterization techniques.The results show that micron-sized inclusions nucleate and grow in the liquid phase,and under tensile loading,they exhibit three fragmentation mechanisms.The local stress during the fragmentation of inclusions is lower than the critical fracture stress of adjacent grains,and phase boundaries can effectively impede crack propagation into the matrix.The existence of a low proportion of high-angle grain boundaries(58.1%)and high Kernel average misorientation value(0.534°)in the segregation band promotes inclusions fragmentation and crack propagation.The difference in crack initiation and propagation direction caused by the morphology of inclusions and physical properties,as well as different matrix arrest abilities,is the main reasons for the diversity of inclusion fragmentation.

文摘We deposited indium-tin-oxide(ITO)films on silicon and quartz substrates by magnetron sputtering technology in pure argon.Using electrostatic quadrupole plasma diagnostic technology,we investigate the effects of discharge power and discharge pressure on the ion flux and energy distribution function of incidence on the substrate surface,with special attention to the production of high-energy negative oxygen ions,and elucidate the mechanism behind its production.At the same time,the structure and properties of ITO films are systematically characterized to understand the potential effects of high energy oxygen ions on the growth of ITO films.Combining with the kinetic property analysis of sputtering damage mechanism of transparent conductive oxide(TCO)thin films,this study provides valuable physical understanding of optimization of TCO thin film deposition process.

文摘The complexity of living environment system demands higher requirements for the sensitivity and selectivity of the probe.Therefore,it is of great importance to develop a universal strategy for highperformance probe optimization.Herein,we propose a novel“Enrichment-enhanced Detection”strategy and use carbon dots-dopamine detection system as a representative model to evaluate its feasibility.The composite probe carbon dots (CDs)-encapsulated in glycol-chitosan (GC)(i.e.,CDs@GC) was obtained by simply mixing GC and CDs through noncovalent interactions,including electrostatic interactions and hydrogen bonding.Dopamine (DA) could be detected through internal filter effect (IFE)-induced quenching of CDs.In the case of CDs@GC,noncovalent interactions (electrostatic interactions) between GC and the formed quinone (oxide of DA) could selectively extract and enrich the local concentration of DA,thus effectively improving the sensitivity and selectivity of the sensing system.The nanosensor had a low detection limit of 3.7 nmol/L,which was a 12-fold sensitivity improvement compared to the bare CDs probes with similar fluorescent profiles,proving the feasibility of the“Enrichment-enhanced Detection”strategy.Further,to examine this theory in real case,we designed a highly portable sensing platform to realize visual determination of DA.Overall,our work introduces a new strategy for accurately detecting DA and provides valuable insights for the universal design and optimization of superior nanoprobes.

文摘Exploiting high-performance electrolyte holds the key for realization practical application of rechargeable magnesium batteries(RMBs).Herein,a new non-nucleophilic mononuclear electrolyte was developed and its electrochemical active species was identified as[Mg(DME)_(3)][GaCl_(4)]_(2) through single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.The as-synthesized Mg(GaCl_(4))_(2)-IL-DME electrolyte could achieve a high ionic conductivity(9.85 m S cm^(-1)),good anodic stability(2.9 V vs.Mg/Mg^(2+)),and highly reversible Mg plating/stripping.The remarkable electrochemical performance should be attributed to the in-situ formation of Mg^(2+)-conducting Ga_(5)Mg_(2)alloy layer at the Mg/electrolyte interface during electrochemical cycling,which not only efficiently protects the Mg anode from passivation,but also allows for rapid Mg-ion transport.Significantly,the Mg(GaCl_(4))_(2)-IL-DME electrolyte showed excellent compatibility with both conversion and intercalation cathodes.The Mg/S batteries with Mg(Ga Cl_(4))_(2)-IL-DME electrolyte and KB/S cathode showed a high specific capacity of 839 m Ah g^(-1)after 50 cycles at 0.1 C with the Coulombic efficiency of~100%.Moreover,the assembled Mg|Mo_6 S_8 batteries delivered a reversible discharge capacity of 85 m Ah g^(-1)after 120 cycles at 0.2 C.This work provides a universal electrolyte for the realization of high-performance and practical RMBs,especially Mg/S batteries.

文摘Recent advancements in nanotechnology have spotlighted the catalytic potential of nanozymes, particularly single-atom nanozymes(SANs), which are pivotal for innovations in biosensing and medical diagnostics. Among others, DNA stands out as an ideal biological regulator. Its inherent programmability and interaction capabilities allow it to significantly modulate nanozyme activity. This study delves into the dynamic interplay between DNA and molybdenum-zinc single-atom nanozymes(Mo-Zn SANs). Using molecular dynamics simulations, we uncover how DNA influences the peroxidase-like activities of Mo-Zn SANs, providing a foundational understanding that broadens the application scope of SANs in biosensing.With these insights as a foundation, we developed and demonstrated a model aptasensor for point-ofcare testing(POCT), utilizing a label-free colorimetric approach that leverages DNA-nanozyme interactions to achieve high-sensitivity detection of lysozyme. Our work elucidates the nuanced control DNA exerts over nanozyme functionality and illustrates the application of this molecular mechanism through a smartphone-assisted biosensing platform. This study not only underscores the practical implications of DNA-regulated Mo-Zn SANs in enhancing biosensing platforms, but also highlights the potential of single-atom nanozyme technology to revolutionize diagnostic tools through its inherent versatility and sensitivity.

文摘Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings were cultivated in 0-500 μmol/L of extraneous cerium （Ce） for 7 d to investigate the toxicity, uptake and translocation of rare earth elements （REEs）. The results showed that Ce could be largely absorbed by the roots ofA. thaliana and translocated to the shoots. But the uptake rates of Ce by the roots were much higher than the translocation rates from roots to shoots. Ultrastructural analysis revealed that Ce was mainly distributed on the cell wall. At higher concentration, Ce could also enter cell, destroy the ultrastructure of cells and disturb the intrinsic balance of nutrient elements of A, thaliana, Addition of Ce （50-500 μmol/L） to the culture medium significantly inhibited the elongation of primary roots, decreased chlorophyll content, rosette diameter and fresh mass of plants. The damage increased with the increase of Ce concentration in culture medium, although primary root elongation, chlorophyll content, and rosette diameter were stimulated by relatively low concentration （0.5 μmol/L） of Ce. Thus, it is speculated that REEs may become a new type contamination if we don＇t well control the release of REEs into the environment.

文摘Mn nanoparticles(nano-Mn)were successfully synthesized and doped into MgH_(2) to improve its de/hydrogenation properties.Compared with MgH_(2),the onset desorption temperature of 10 wt.%nano-Mn modified MgH_(2) was decreased to 175℃ and 6.7,6.5 and 6.1 wt.%hydrogen could be released within 5,10 and 25 min at 300,275 and 250℃,respectively.Besides,the composite started to take up hydrogen at room temperature and absorbed 2.0 wt.%hydrogen within 30 min at low temperature of 50℃.The hydrogenation activation energy of MgH_(2) was reduced from(72.5±2.7)to(18.8±0.2)kJ/mol after doping with 10 wt.%nano-Mn.In addition,the MgH_(2)+10 wt.%nano-Mn composite exhibited superior cyclic property,maintaining 92%initial capacity after 20 cycles.

文摘Particulate matter(i.e.,PM_(1.0) and PM_(2.5)),considered as the key atmospheric pollutants,exerts negative effects on visibility,global climate,and human health by associated chemical compositions.However,our understanding of PM and its chemical compositions in Beijing under the current atmospheric environment is still not complete after witnessing marked alleviation during 2013–2017.Continuous measurements can be crucial for further air quality improvement by better characterizing PM pollution and chemical compositions in Beijing.Here,we conducted simultaneous measurements on PM in Beijing during 2018–2019.Results indicate that annualmean PM_(1.0) and PM_(2.5) concentrations were 35.49±18.61μg/m^(3) and 66.58±60.17μg/m^(3),showing a positive response to emission controls.The contribution of sulfate,nitrate,and ammonium(SNA)played an enhanced role with elevated PM loading and acted as the main contributors to pollution episodes.Discrepancies observed among chemical species between PM_(1.0) and PM_(2.5) in spring suggest that sand particles trend to accumulate in the range of 1–2.5μm.Pollution episodes occurred accompanied with southerly clusters and high formation of SNA by heterogeneous reactions in summer and winter,respectively.Results from positive matrix factorization(PMF)combined with potential source contribution function(PSCF)models showed that potential areas were seasonal dependent,secondary and vehicular sources became much more important compared with previous studies in Beijing.Our study presented a continuous investigation on PM and sources origins in Beijing,which provides a better understanding for further emission control as well as a reference for other cities in developing countries.

文摘High strength Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloys were prepared by spray deposition and casting techniques. The microstructures of the Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloys were studied using scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction. Secondary phases in the microstructures of the alloys prepared by spray deposition and conventional cast were examined. The results indicate that under the conventional casting condition, the microstructure of the alloy revealed the presence of coarse Al/Mg（ZnCu）2 eutectic phases, and the spray deposited process causes an obvious modification in size, morphology, and distribution of secondary phases in the microstructure as well as reduction of segregation. The superior microstructure of the spray-deposited Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy was attributed to the high cooling rate, and associated with the rapid solidification process.

文摘A self-made directional solidification device was used to fabricate d 80 mm high purity aluminum ingots. SEM and AFM were used to detect the shape of grain boundaries. The orientation of the grain was studied by X-ray diffractometry. The results show that the nucleation points locate at the intersections of three adjacent grains. The lattice orientation of grains does not alter in the horizontal direction, but gradually approaches the optimum growth direction in the vertical direction during the growth process. All the grains suffer the competition and only the one whose orientation is closest to the preferred direction can occupy the final growth space.

文摘Inspired by the phenomenon of superhydrophobic plants and animals in nature,1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocane(HMX)@copper stearate(CS)core-shell composites with similar properties was prepared.A rough shell layer on the surface of the HMX was observed by scanning electron microscopy(SEM),and a series of in-depth characterization confirmed the successful generation of CS and the coreshell structure of the samples.Differential scanning calorimeter(DSC)proves that the crystal transition temperature(204℃)and high temperature decomposition exothermal temperature(284℃)of HMX@CS is almost unchanged compared with pure HMX,which means HMX and CS have good compatibility.Then,the H50 of the samples also increased continuously(16.6 cm→33.7 cm)when the CS shell content increased from 1%to 5%,indicating that the CS shell has a certain buffering performance,and CS will absorb some heat and melt under the stimulation of impact due to its low melting point,which improved impact sensitivity of HMX effectively further.Moreover,HMX@CS has excellent hydrophobic and oleophilic performance,shows excellent wettability with lipid binder,and samples with appropriate CS shell content can continue to combustion stably after covering water.This waterproof and low sensitivity coating provides a new way for the development of multifunctional energetic materials.
