摘要:I was 3 years into my Ph.D., yet I still felt in the dark. I was doing what I could to move my research projects forward, but I did not see how my incremental progress would culminate in a degree. I did not see the light at the end of the tunnel, I did not have a plan. Frankly, I could not fathom how or when I would graduate. To add to my angst, a key mentor-Erika Moore, the only other Black woman in the lab at the time-was finishing up her appointment as a postdoctoral fellow and moving on to...

摘要:Plants are constantly exposed to volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that are released during plant-plant communication, within-plant self-signaling, and plant-microbe interactions. Therefore, understanding VOC perception and downstream signaling is vital for unraveling the mechanisms behind information exchange in plants, which remain largely unexplored. Using the hormone-like function of volatile terpenoids in reproductive organ development as a system with a visual marker for communication, w...

摘要:The introduction of molecularly woven three-dimensional (3D) covalent organic framework (COF) crystals into polymers of varying types invokes different forms of contact between filler and polymer. Whereas the combination of woven COFs with amorphous and brittle polymethyl methacrylate results in surface interactions, the use of the liquid-crystalline polymer polyimide induces the formation of polymer-COF junctions. These junctions are generated by the threading of polymer chains through the po...

摘要:Ferroelectric nematic liquid crystals are formed by achiral molecules with large dipole moments. Theirthree-dimensional orientational order is described as unidirectionally polar. We demonstrate thatthe ground state of a flat slab of a ferroelectric nematic unconstrained by externally imposedalignment directions is chiral, with left- and right-handed twists of polarization. Although the helicoidaldeformations and defect walls that separate domains of opposite handedness increase the elasticene...

摘要:The environmental impacts of organic agriculture are only partially understood and whether such practices have spillover effects on pests or pest control activity in nearby fields remains unknown. Using about 14,000 field observations per year from 2013 to 2019 in Kern County, California, we postulate that organic crop producers benefit from surrounding organic fields decreasing overall pesticide use and, specifically, pesticides targeting insect pests. Conventional fields, by contrast, tend t...

摘要:Over the past two decades, there has been growing interest in developing catalysts to enable Haber-Bosch ammonia synthesis under milder conditions than currently pertain. Rational catalyst design requires theoretical guidance and clear mechanistic understanding. Recently, a spin-mediated promotion mechanism was proposed to activate traditionally unreactive magnetic materials such as cobalt (Co) for ammonia synthesis by introducing hetero metal atoms bound to the active site of the catalyst sur...
