Liquid crystals (LCs) are unique heat transfer media that exhibit large anisotropy in thermal properties depending on the direction of the director (n) of the LC state. This phenomenon is the basis of thermal conduction in ordered soft materials, and has been extensively studied to understand thermal conduction in soft materials. In this study, we used inelastic x-ray scattering (IXS) to investigate the anisotropic thermal diffusivity and collective dynamics in the terahertz region of a pyrimidine-type LC (PYP8O8). The dispersion relations at several frequencies corresponding to the LC state were analyzed in the directions parallel and perpendicular to n. The results showed that there was a significant difference between the anisotropy of the sound velocity and that of the attenuation coefficient (Γ) estimated from the shape parameter of the IXS spectrum. The results for the linewidth of inelastic excitation show Q2 dependence that is far beyond the viscoelastic relaxation of the system, and the anisotropy in the collective dynamics predicted by Forster et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 26, 1016 (1971)] in the hydrodynamic region can be extensively applied to the more localized collective motion of LC systems.

In this study, we conducted a comprehensive proteomic analysis of B cells from the spleen, mesenteric lymph nodes(mLN), and peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMC) in a time-course model of systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE) using female MRL/lpr mice. By combining fluorescence-activated cell sorting(FACS) and 4D-Data-Independent Acquisition(4D-DIA) mass spectrometry, we quantified nearly 8000 proteins, identifying significant temporal and tissue-specific proteomic changes during SLE progression. PBMC-derived B cells exhibited early proteomic alterations by Week 9, while spleen-derived B cells showed similar changes by Week 12. We identified key regulatory proteins, including BAFF, BAFFR, and NFKB2, involved in B cell survival and activation, as well as novel markers such as CD11c and CD117, which have previously been associated with other immune cells. The study high-lights the dynamic reprogramming of B cell proteomes across different tissues, with distinct contributions to SLE pathogenesis, providing valuable insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying B cell dysregulation in lupus. These findings offer potential therapeutic targets and biomarkers for SLE.

It is challenging to improve the long-term stability of perovskite solar cells(PSCs) without sacrificing efficiency. The perovskite absorbers degrade from the film surface/interfaces, which follows entangled mechanisms that have not been fully revealed ***, we decouple and elaborate two distinctive pathways regarding film degradation based on ***, a dual interfacial modification strategy has been developed for improving the material’s intrinsic stability, thus leading to the film degrading in a more retardant pathway. The corresponding PSCs achieve a stable power output efficiency of 23.75%.More importantly, the unencapsulated PSCs devices retain over 93% of their initial PCE after the maximum power point(MPP)tracking under the continuous 1-sun illumination and show significantly improved stability after aged under the thermal treatment or stored in ambient atmosphere for over 1500 hours without obvious PCE decay. This work shows the importance of modulating the degradation pathway on stability improvement, and at the same time, proposes a strategy for designing perovskite-based optoelectronics with excellent performance and stability.
