Article Abstract
Ultraviolet matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry imaging (UV-MALDI MSI) is a widely used technique for imaging molecular distributions within biological systems. While much work exists concerning desorption in UV-MALDI MS, the effects of commonly varied parameters for imaging applications (repetition rate, use of continuous raster mode and raster speed), which determine spatial resolution and limits of detection for the technique, remain largely unknown. We use multiple surface characterization modalities to obtain quantitative measurements of material desorption and analyte ion yield in thin film model systems of two matrix compounds, arising from different UV-MALDI MSI sampling conditions. Observed changes in resulting ablation feature point to matrix-dependent spatial resolution and laser-induced matrix modification effects. Analyte ion yields of 10 to 10 are observed. Complex changes in ion yield, between spot and raster sampling and arising from varied laser repetition rate and raster speed, are observed. Graphical Abstract.

An ongoing goal of top-down mass spectrometry is to increase the performance for larger proteins. Using higher energy activation methods, like 193 nm ultraviolet photodissociation (UVPD), offers the potential to cause more extensive fragmentation of large proteins and thereby yield greater sequence coverage. Obtaining high sequence coverage requires confident identification and assignment of fragment ions, and this process is hampered by spectral congestion and low signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) of the fragment ions.

Gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) are widely used in diverse technological and scientific applications due to their unique optical and catalytic properties. These properties are strongly influenced by the size, shape, composition, and/or concentration of the NPs, which in turn depend on the synthesis conditions. Therefore, the development of simple, cost-effective, and reliable analytical methods for their characterization is essential.

Salt stress impairs photosynthetic efficiency and consequently reduces the growth, development, and grain yield of crop plants. The formation of hydrophobic barriers in the root endodermis, including the suberin lamellae and Casparian strips, is a key adaptive strategy for salt stress tolerance. In this study, we identified the role of the rice NAC transcription factor, ONAC005, in salt stress tolerance.

We report the synthesis and characterization of a new Schiff base ligand (HL), derived from 2-picolylamine and 2-hydroxy-3-methoxy-5-methylbenzaldehyde. Its reaction with Ni(NO)·6HO and Ln(NO)·HO (Ln = Gd, Tb, Dy) in the presence of triethylamine affords a carbonato-bridged family of heterobimetallic NiLn complexes: [NiLn(L)(L')(μ-CO)(NO)]·MeOH·HO (). During the complexation reaction, ligand HL undergoes an oxidation, followed by C-C coupling to generate a secondary ligand (HL').

Hard carbon (HC) has emerged as a promising anode material for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) owing to its superior sodium storage performance. However, the high cost of conventional HC precursors remains a critical challenge. To address this, coal─a low-cost, carbon-rich precursor─has been explored for HC synthesis.
