Article Abstract
This study investigates the impact of environmental factors and lipid composition on the structural and morphological properties of DPPC/DOPC (1,2-Dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine/1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine) monolayers. Temperature plays a significant role in DPPC monolayer behavior; at 15°C and 20°C, DPPC exhibits liquid expanded-liquid condensed coexistence, while at 25°C, this coexistence region disappears. Divalent ions (CaCl) enhance more compact and uniform DPPC packing compared to monovalent ions (KCl), reducing mean area per molecule. The incorporation of DOPC into DPPC at 20°C increases the monolayer fluidity, disrupting the DPPC domain formation. For all systems, increasing surface pressure improves surface coverage and transforms micro domains into compact and continuous films at higher pressures. These findings highlight the critical roles of ionic interactions, temperature, and lipid composition in modulating lipid monolayer properties.

Owing to their distinctive thickness and physical attributes, two-dimensional (2D) materials have exhibited considerable promise in the field of microelectronic devices. Notably, 2D magnetic materials that maintain long-range magnetic order and can be readily modulated by external fields have garnered substantial attention. However, CrSBr, despite being a 2D van der Waals (vdW) semiconducting magnet with an appropriate band gap and stability in air, faces significant hindrance for practical utilization due to its Curie temperature () of 146 K.

The band structure of ultrathin Pd(111) thin films grown on the CrO(0001) surface was studied by angular-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) combined with first-principles calculations. The CrO(0001) interface and the expanded Pd lattice constant appears to significantly affect the occupied band structure of an ultrathin palladium film. A characteristic band splitting is seen in the experimental occupied electronic structure, forming a hexagonal pattern approximately half-way from the Γ" point to the surface Brillouin zone boundary.

Glycolipids are key structural and functional components of biological membranes, yet their interfacial hydration behavior remains poorly understood. Here, we use vibrational heterodyne-detected sum-frequency generation (HD-SFG) spectroscopy to probe the molecular structure of the air-water interface formed by monolayers of ohmline, a glycolipid bearing a lactose headgroup and carrying no formal charge. Upon electrolyte addition, we observe a striking reorientation of interfacial water and a reversal of the HD-SFG signal, indicative of apparent surface charging by an otherwise neutral headgroup.

In confluent cell monolayers, patterns of cell forces and motion are systematically altered near topological defects in cell shape. In turn, defects have been proposed to alter cell density, extrusion, and invasion, but it remains unclear how the defects form and how they affect cell forces and motion. Here, we studied +1/2 defects, and, in contrast to prior studies, we observed the concurrent occurrence of both tail-to-head and head-to-tail defect motion in the same cell monolayer.

This study investigates the HO and CO sorption behavior of two chemically distinct polystyrene-divinylbenzene-based ion exchange sorbents: a primary amine and a permanently charged strong base quaternary ammonium (QA) group with (bi)carbonate counter anions. We compare their distinct interactions with HO and CO through simultaneous thermal gravimetric, calorimetric, gas analysis, and molecular modeling approaches to evaluate their performance for dilute CO separations like direct air capture. Thermal and hybrid (heat + low-temperature hydration) desorption experiments demonstrate that the QA-based sorbent binds both water and CO more strongly than the amine counterparts but undergoes degradation at moderate temperatures, limiting its compatibility with thermal swing regeneration.
