Article Abstract
Stimulated emission depletion (STED) microscopy, a key optical super-resolution imaging method, has extended our ability to view details to resolution levels of tens of nanometers. Its resolution depends on fluorophore de-excitation efficiency, and increases with depletion laser power. However, high-power irradiation permanently turns off the fluorescence due to photo-bleaching of the fluorophores. As a result, there is a trade-off between spatial resolution and imaging time. Here, we overcome this limitation by introducing reactivatable STED (ReSTED) based on the photophysical properties of the nanographene dibenzo[hi,st]ovalene (DBOV). In contrast to the photo-induced decomposition of other fluorophores, the fluorescence of DBOV is only temporarily deactivated and can be reactivated by near-infrared light (including the 775 nm depletion beam). As a result, this fluorophore allows for hours-long, high-resolution 3D STED imaging, greatly expanding the applications of STED microscopy.

Tracing priming effects in palsa peat carbon dynamics using a stable isotope-assisted metabolomics approach.

Introduction: Peatlands store up to a third of global soil carbon, and in high latitudes their litter inputs are increasing and changing in composition under climate change. Although litter significantly influences peatland carbon and nutrient dynamics by changing the overall lability of peatland organic matter, the physicochemical mechanisms of this impact-and thus its full scope-remain poorly understood.
Methods: We applied multimodal metabolomics (UPLC-HRMS, H NMR) paired with C Stable Isotope-Assisted Metabolomics (SIAM) to track litter carbon and its potential priming effects on both existing soil organic matter and carbon gas emissions.
Influence of Starch-Granule Diameter on Lasing Thresholds of the Molecular Rotor Thioflavin T in a Dual-Cavity Fabry-Perot/Whispering Gallery Mode.

A dual-cavity lasing platform is reported in which thioflavin T (ThT), a rotor-sensitive molecular probe, is employed to map molecular-crowding effects within starch granules via coupled Fabry-Perot (FP) and whispering gallery mode (WGM) resonances. In this architecture, global standing-wave feedback is furnished by a planar FP cavity, while size-tunable WGMs are supported by ThT-coated starch granules. Granules were sorted into five diameter classes (<20, 20-30, 30-40, 40-60, and >60 μm), and lasing thresholds alongside fluorescence lifetimes were determined.

An increase in para-chloro-meta-xylenol (PCMX) pollution presents a significant obstacle to ecological security. The present study employed a series of microcosmic experiments to investigate the temporal dynamics of NO emissions and key genes involved in nitrogen cycle during the biodegradation process of PCMX. The results demonstrated that the degradation of PCMX exhibited first-order kinetics, with a calculated half-life of 231 days.

The multi-channel synchronous stimulator, aimed at achieving efficient and precise neural regulation, typically utilizes a monolithic microelectrode array structure. However, this structure limits the flexibility of electrode placement and the expansion to a large number of nodes, particularly in discontinuous locations. To address this, this paper designs a distributed passive micro-magnetic stimulation (DP-μMS) neuro-regulation device with multi-brain region collaborative stimulation functionality.
