▲ 摘要:
量子比特是量子計(jì)算機(jī)的組成部分,通常在固定的實(shí)體中實(shí)現(xiàn),如捕獲離子或量子點(diǎn)。傳播量子信息的工作通常交給光子。然而,光子不會(huì)相互作用,使用電子實(shí)現(xiàn)傳播“飛行”而量子比特是有利的。
研究者通過(guò)在單層石墨烯中制備和控制單電子飛行量子比特態(tài)實(shí)現(xiàn)了這一目標(biāo)。
▲ Abstract:
Qubits, the building blocks of quantum computers, are usually implemented in stationary entities such as trapped ions or quantum dots. The job of propagating quantum information is usually given to photons. However, photons do not interact with each other, and it would be advantageous to implement a propagating (“flying”) qubit using electrons. Assouline et al. achieved this goal by preparing and controlling single-electron flying qubit states in monolayer graphene.

▲ Abstract:
Controlling thermal transport by switching devices is challenging because rapidly changing a material’s thermal properties is difficult. Liu et al. demonstrate that a thermal switch can be made from lead zirconium oxide controlled with a small voltage. The material can be changed from antiferroelectric to ferroelectric with an electric field that also dramatically changes the thermal properties. This switch changes the thermal transport by a factor of two in one direction, creating a useful thermal switch.

▲ 摘要:
大質(zhì)量恒星富含氫的外層可以通過(guò)與雙星伴星的相互作用而被移除。理論模型預(yù)測(cè)這種剝離會(huì)產(chǎn)生2到8個(gè)太陽(yáng)質(zhì)量的熱氦恒星,然而,到目前為止,只有一個(gè)這樣的系統(tǒng)被確定。
研究者使用紫外光度法來(lái)識(shí)別潛在的剝離氦星,然后使用光譜學(xué)對(duì)其中的25顆進(jìn)行了研究。他們發(fā)現(xiàn)了溫度高(~6萬(wàn)到10萬(wàn)開(kāi)爾文)、表面重力大、表面氫耗盡的恒星;16顆恒星也表現(xiàn)出雙星運(yùn)動(dòng)。這些性質(zhì)符合對(duì)初始質(zhì)量為8到25個(gè)太陽(yáng)質(zhì)量的恒星的期望,這些恒星被雙星相互作用剝離。
它們的質(zhì)量落在亞矮星氦星和沃爾夫—拉葉星之間。研究者提出這些恒星可能是剝離包層超新星的祖先。
▲ Abstract:
The hydrogen-rich outer layers of massive stars can be removed by interactions with a binary companion. Theoretical models predict that this stripping produces a population of hot helium stars of ~2 to 8 solar masses (M☉), however, only one such system has been identified thus far. We used ultraviolet photometry to identify potential stripped helium stars then investigated 25 of them using optical spectroscopy. We identified stars with high temperatures (~60,000 to 100,000 kelvin), high surface gravities, and hydrogen-depleted surfaces; 16 stars also showed binary motion. These properties match expectations for stars with initial masses of 8 to 25 M☉ that were stripped by binary interaction. Their masses fall in the gap between subdwarf helium stars and Wolf-Rayet stars. We propose that these stars could be progenitors of stripped-envelope supernovae.

▲ 摘要:
為了舒適和安全,人體必須保持在一定的溫度范圍內(nèi)。然而,溫度調(diào)節(jié)服的挑戰(zhàn)存在于惡劣的應(yīng)用場(chǎng)景,如全晝夜循環(huán),寒冷的極地地區(qū)和太空旅行。
研究者通過(guò)集成柔性有機(jī)光伏(OPV)模塊直接從陽(yáng)光和雙向電熱(EC)設(shè)備中獲取能量,開(kāi)發(fā)了一種靈活且可持續(xù)的個(gè)人體溫調(diào)節(jié)服裝系統(tǒng)。柔性O(shè)PV—EC熱調(diào)節(jié)服(OETC)可將人體熱舒適區(qū)從22℃~28℃擴(kuò)展到12.5℃~37.6℃,溫度調(diào)節(jié)速率快。
EC裝置的低能耗和高效率允許24小時(shí)可控和雙模式溫度調(diào)節(jié),12小時(shí)的陽(yáng)光能量輸入。該自供電可穿戴式體溫調(diào)節(jié)平臺(tái)結(jié)構(gòu)簡(jiǎn)單、設(shè)計(jì)緊湊、效率高、自適應(yīng)性強(qiáng),以太陽(yáng)光為唯一能源。
▲ Abstract:
The human body must stay within a certain temperature range for comfort and safety. However, challenges for thermoregulatory clothing exist for harsh application scenarios, such as full day/night cycles, frigid polar regions, and space travel. We developed a flexible and sustainable personal thermoregulatory clothing system by integrating a flexible organic photovoltaic (OPV) module to directly acquire energy from sunlight and bidirectional electrocaloric (EC) devices. The flexible OPV-EC thermoregulatory clothing (OETC) can extend the human thermal comfort zone from 22°–28°C to 12.5°–37.6°C with a fast thermoregulation rate. The low energy consumption and high efficiency of the EC device allows for 24 hours of controllable and dual-mode thermoregulation with 12 hours of sunlight energy input. This self-powered wearable thermoregulatory platform has a simple structure, compact design, high efficiency, and strong self-adaptability with sunlight as the sole energy source.

▲ Abstract:
How are new particles formed in the air above the oceans, where ammonia, an important species in the process, is not very abundant? He et al. report that iodine oxoacids, which are plentiful in marine environments, can substantially increase the rate of new particle formation in the low-ammonia conditions commonly found in pristine marine and polar regions. This effect could be particularly important in low-level marine stratocumulus clouds, which reflect a large fraction of incident solar radiation back into space and have an important influence on global radiation balance and climate.

▲ 摘要:
質(zhì)子(H+)和鈣離子(Ca2+)經(jīng)常穿梭于細(xì)胞膜并作為信號(hào)。在植物中,質(zhì)子高度積聚在細(xì)胞外空間,而Ca2+儲(chǔ)存可以在內(nèi)質(zhì)網(wǎng)和其他細(xì)胞室中發(fā)現(xiàn)。胞質(zhì)中的H+和Ca2+濃度在信號(hào)事件中經(jīng)常密切相關(guān)。
研究者將原生生物衍生的光門控離子通道引入植物細(xì)胞,允許H+而不是Ca2+的選擇性運(yùn)輸。他們發(fā)現(xiàn),誘導(dǎo)H+轉(zhuǎn)運(yùn)到細(xì)胞質(zhì)中導(dǎo)致隨后的Ca2+釋放。這項(xiàng)研究建立了細(xì)胞內(nèi)pH值和保護(hù)細(xì)胞中Ca2+信號(hào)之間的因果關(guān)系,并為在其他情況下操縱離子運(yùn)動(dòng)提供了新的工具。
▲ Abstract:
Protons (H+) and calcium ions (Ca2+) are often shuttled across cellular membranes and act as signals. In plants, protons accumulate highly in the extracellular space, whereas Ca2+ stores can be found in the endoplasmic reticulum and other cellular compartments. H+ and Ca2+ concentrations in the cytoplasm are often closely correlated during signaling events. Huang et al. introduced a light-gated protist-derived ion channel into plant cells, allowing selective transport of H+ but not Ca2+. They found that induction of H+ transport into the cytoplasm led to subsequent Ca2+ release. This work establishes a causal relationship between intracellular pH and Ca2+ signaling in guard cells and offers a new tool for manipulating ion movement in other contexts.
