Understanding of sputtering by ion bombardment is needed in a wide range of applications. In fusion reactors, ion impacts originating from a hydrogen-isotope-rich plasma will lead, among other effects, to sputtering of the wall material. To study the effect of plasma impurities on the sputtering of the wall mixed mate…

We demonstrated thermal transitions and physical gelation of binary ionic salts through interionic interactions, which consist of pyrrolidinium-N-propanesulfonate zwitterionic compound (PyrZIC) and lithium bis(trifluorosulfonyl)imide (LiTFSI). The transition behaviors of binary ionic gels were attributed to conformati…

Dehydroquinate dehydratase (DHQD) catalyzes the third step in the biosynthetic shikimate pathway. We present three crystal structures of the Salmonella enterica type I DHQD that address the functionality of a surface loop that is observed to close over the active site following substrate binding. Two wild-type structu…

A combined hydrogen storage system of Ca(BH 4 ) 2 /[C(NH 2 ) 3 ] + [BH 4 ] − (GBH) complexes is reported. By a short time ball milling of Ca(BH 4 ) 2 and GBH, a new composite of Ca(BH 4 ) 2 /GBH complex was produced. It was found that the newly formed composite exhibits a significant improvement of dehydrogenation, wh…

We study the scaling properties of magnetic minor hysteresis loops in a polycrystalline dysprosium metal, varying temperature and magnetic-field amplitudes. We observe irreversibility-related hysteresis loss in the helical antiferromagnetic phase, which is related with remanent flux density as a power law with the sam…

Growing laser damage sites on multilayer high-reflector coatings can limit mirror performance. One of the strategies to improve laser damage resistance is to replace the growing damage sites with predesigned benign mitigation structures. By mitigating the weakest site on the optic, the large-aperture mirror will have…

We estimate the size of mechanostability for 318 multidomain proteins which are single-chain and contain up to 1021 amino acids. We predict existence of novel types of mechanical clamps in which interdomain contacts play an essential role. Mechanical clamps are structural regions which are the primary source of a prot…
