Article Abstract
Charge detection mass spectrometry (CD-MS) is a single-particle technique in which the masses of individual ions are determined from simultaneous measurements of their / ratio and charge. Ions are trapped in an electrostatic linear ion trap and oscillate back and forth through a detection cylinder coupled to a low noise charge sensitive amplifier. The resulting signal is analyzed using short-time Fourier transforms (STFTs) to determine the / ratio and charge. The / ratio is determined from the oscillation frequency, and the charge is obtained from the magnitude of the fundamental. Here we compare the methods used to analyze time domain data for single ion measurements including STORI plots. We conclude that the original STFT approach remains the best method for the analysis of CD-MS data. However, there are many ways of implementing the STFT approach. We compare the options with the goal of maximizing precision of the charge and / determinations while simultaneously maximizing the number of ions that are detected. A variety of apodization methods are compared, and the effects of scalloping loss, equivalent noise bandwidth, computation time, window length, and step size are evaluated. Maximizing the precision of the charge and / determinations places conflicting constraints on the window length, and we conclude that a dual apodization strategy, with different window lengths, provides the most robust approach to analyzing results for the broad range of different samples that can be measured by CD-MS.

The coupling of lasers plays an important role in a variety of research activities, from generating high-power lasers to investigating out-of-equilibrium coupled systems. This Letter presents our investigations of Hermitian coupling in arrays of lasers, where it is possible to control both the amplitude and phase of the coupling and generate artificial gauge fields. The Hermitian coupling is demonstrated in three laser array geometries: a square array of 100 lasers with controlled laser coupling for obtaining continuous control over the phase-locked state, a triangular array of 130 lasers with controlled chirality of the lasers, and a ring array of eight lasers with a controlled topological charge.

The 247-keV state in ^{54}Sc, populated in the β decay of ^{54}Ca, is reported here as a nanosecond isomer with a half-life of 26.0(22) ns. The state is interpreted as the 1^{+} member of the πf_{7/2}⊗νf_{5/2} spin-coupled multiplet, which decays to the 3^{+},πf_{7/2}⊗νp_{1/2} ground state.

Numerous parameters influence the slotting performance of slotted cartridge, to facilitate rapid, efficient, and accurate predictions of the slitting performance, statistical analysis of PMMA blasting experiments with six different slitted cartridge parameters yielded 12 evaluation indicators. Subsequently, a principal component analysis (PCA) method was introduced to reduce the dimensionality of the data associated with these indicators, and three new comprehensive indicators were extracted for a comprehensive assessment of the slotting performance. The PCA scores ranked the influence of the six slotted cartridge parameters on slotting performance as follows: decoupling coefficient, slotting width, slotting angle, slotting tube thickness, slotting tube material, and charge amount.

The demand for rapid, field-deployable detection of hazardous substances has intensified the search for plasmonic sensors with both high sensitivity and fabrication simplicity. Conventional approaches to plasmonic substrates, however, often rely on lithographic precision or complex chemistries limiting scalability and reproducibility. Here, a facile, one-step synthesis of vertically aligned 2D nanosheets composed of intergrown CuO/CuO crystallites is presented, fabricated via oxygen plasma discharge on copper substrates.

The construction of C─N bonds from simple precursors under ambient conditions is a fundamental challenge in green chemistry, especially when it comes to avoiding energy-intensive protocols. Here, we present a continuous flow photocatalytic platform that enables the efficient coupling of C─N bonds between methanol and ammonia at ambient temperature and pressure. By synergistically engineering a Pd clusters-decorated TiO photocatalyst (1Pd/TiO) and a mass transfer-enhanced gas-liquid-solid Taylor flow reactor, the system achieves a remarkable formamide productivity of 256.
