No design rules have yet been established for producing solid electrolytes with a lithium-ion conductivity high enough to replace liquid and expand the performance battery configuration limits of current lithium ion batteries. Taking advantage properties high-entropy materials, we designed highly ion-conductive electrolyte by increasing compositional complexity known superionic conductor eliminate migration barriers while maintaining structural framework conduction. The synthesized phase...
We present early phase observations in optical and near-infrared wavelengths for the extremely luminous Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) 2009dc. The decline rate of light curve is $\Delta m_{15}(B)=0.65\pm 0.03$, which one slowest among SNe Ia. peak $V$-band absolute magnitude $M_{V}=-19.90\pm 0.15$ mag even if host extinction $A_{V}=0$ mag. It reaches $M_{V}=-20.19\pm 0.19$ $A_{V}=0.29$ as inferred from observed Na {\sc i} D line absorption host. Our $JHK_{s}$-band photometry shows that SN most...
We developed a new convertible copper(I) complex using 2-pyridyl-4-methylpyrimidine and diphosphine as ligands. This exhibited mechanical bistability based on the inversion motion of pyrimidine ring, leading to dual luminescence behavior. The dynamics was strongly dependent temperature solvent. Variable-temperature (1)H NMR spectra revealed that two isomers interconverted in solution via ring inversion, frozen below 200 K. characteristic CT absorption emission bands solution. Emission...
We here describe the first metal complex system in which electronic signals can be repeatedly extracted by converting bistable states related to an intramolecular ligand rotational motion, is fueled visible light. The molecular structure for relating electron transfer and a motion consists of copper center coordinated unsymmetrically substituted pyrimidine derivative, whose isomerization causes electrochemical potential shift. To harness light energy effectively through metal-to-ligand...
We have constructed a single molecule system, consisting of ferrocene-tethered copper complex, in which electron transfer between redox centers is triggered by molecular rotational motion. In the compound, an asymmetric methyl-substituted 2,2'-pyridylpyrimidine ligand, tethered to ferrocene moiety, has two isomeric ring-inversion coordination conformations around center. Both structures were characterized X-ray crystallography. (1)H NMR and electrochemical measurements revealed that these...
We have succeeded in constructing an electron-transfer gating system involving a copper complex, 1.BF(4), that is regulated by the rotational motion of pyridylpyrimidine ligand. 4-Methyl-2-(2'-pyridyl)pyrimidine confined between two bulky groups underwent dynamic process derived from pyrimidine-ring coordination inversion inner and outer isomers, these isomers interconverted with each other solution barrier 73 kJ mol(-1) at 293 K. As ring-inversion induces change redox potential on center,...

Two rotational isomers complexes were found to coexist interconvert in solution via intramolecular ligating atom exchange ring, where notation inner (i-) outer (o-) describes orientation relative The stability was solvent-...
JWST was conceived and built to answer one of the most fundamental questions that humans can address empirically: "How did Universe make its first stars?". Our First Lights At REionization (FLARE) project transforms quest for epoch reionization from static time domain. It targets complementary question: "What happened those will be answered by observations luminous events: supernovae accretion on black holes formed direct collapse primordial gas clouds. These transients provide constraints...

The 1 : mixture of adenine and thymine both substituted with dodecyl groups exhibited the unique thermal behavior.
In the next decade Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) will be used to test theories predicting changes in Dark Energy equation of state with time. Ultimately this requires a dedicated space mission like JDEM. SNe are mature cosmological probes --- their limitations well characterized, and path improvement is clear. Dominant systematic errors include photometric calibration, selection effects, reddening, population-dependent differences. Building on past lessons, well-controlled new surveys poised...
A series of [Ni(dmit)2]− (dmit: 1,3-dithiole-2-thione-4,5-dithiolato) salts alkyltrimethylammonium (Cn: n represents the alkyl chain length; = 3 and 5–18) have been prepared analyzed by X-...
Abstract Molecules exhibiting cold crystallization, an exothermic phenomenon in heating following supercooling, can be used as a heat storing material. On the other hand, examples non-polymers are still few. A chiral Schiff-base nickel(II) complex, which had characteristic methyl group and long alkyl chains, exhibited complicated thermal behavior including crystallization. The was steric barrier to dimerization molecular stacking, leading supercooled state. In addition, of enantiomer...
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and their afterglows have been proposed as an excellent probe to study the evolution of cosmic star formation, reionization intergalactic medium, metal enrichment history universe, since prompt gamma-ray emission GRBs should be detectable out distances z>10.

The shows clear continuum at long wavelength end with sharp cutoff...
