Article Abstract
Small π-conjugated molecules can be designed and synthesized to undergo controlled self-assembly forming low-dimensional architectures, with programmed order at the supramolecular level. Such order is of paramount importance because it defines the property of the obtained material. Here, we have focused our attention to four pyromellitic diimide derivatives exposing different types of side chains. The joint effect of different noncovalent interactions including π-π stacking, H-bonding, and van der Waals forces on the four derivatives yielded different self-assembled architectures. Atomic force microscopy studies, corroborated with infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopic measurements, provided complementary multiscale insight into these assemblies.

In this work, we report the synthesis and comprehensive characterization of a new series of fully fused three-dimensional rylenimide-based derivatives featuring extended π-conjugation through core-fusion strategies and tailored side-chain engineering at the imide nitrogen, resulting in molecular architectures with up to 19 fused rings. The effects of π-extension and alkyl/aryl imide substituents on the optical and electrochemical behavior were systematically studied using UV-vis spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, and density functional theory calculations. The results demonstrate that combining π-extension with bulky solubilizing groups effectively suppresses undesired π-π interactions, enhances electronic delocalization, and improves device-relevant properties.

Animals generate a range of locomotor patterns that subserve diverse behaviors, and in vertebrates, the required supraspinal commands derive from reticulospinal neurons in the brainstem. Yet how these commands are encoded across the reticulospinal population is unknown, making it unclear whether a universal control logic generates the full locomotor repertoire or if distinct sets of command modules might compose movement in different behavioral contexts. Here, we used calcium imaging, high-resolution behavior tracking, and statistical modeling to comprehensively survey reticulospinal activity and relate single-cell activity to movement kinematics as larval zebrafish generated a broad diversity of swim types.

Water splitting represents a sustainable and environmentally benign approach for green hydrogen generation and future clean energy solutions. In this context, space-confined synthesis has emerged as a powerful strategy for engineering high-performance electrocatalysts. Recent studies have demonstrated that low-dimensional nanomaterials synthesized via confinement techniques exhibit enhanced electrocatalytic properties.

EncoderMap is a dimensionality reduction method that is tailored for the analysis of molecular simulation data. It relies on a neural network autoencoder architecture augmented with an additional multidimensional scaling (MDS)-like loss term. Due to this additional cost function between the high-dimensional input and the latent space, EncoderMap emerges as a method that has advantages over other dimensionality reduction methods and straightforward autoencoders alike.

Coupled one-dimensional (1D) conductor array has been proposed as a promising platform to explore the electronic correlation phenomena in higher dimensions and rich electronic phases; however, these architectures have been challenging to configure over the past few decades. Well-aligned semiconducting carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been demonstrated as a promising channel material to construct ultra-scaled transistors for future integrated circuits, but their transport behaviors, especially the tunable dimensionality and electron-electron () interactions, remain elusive and are needed to explore the correlated electronic phases. Here, we experimentally realize a dimensional transition with controlled electronic correlationsusing coupled quantum wire arrays that contain well-aligned CNTs in a two-dimensional (2D) film.
