相近射电星系M87为摸索中心超年夜品质黑洞以及相对于论喷流之间的相干性提供了一个怪异时机。先前对于M87内部区域的研究显示，发源在黑洞四周的喷流有一个年夜启齿角。

事务视界千里镜对于中心射电源举行相识析，发明了一个与广义相对于论猜测相符的不合错误称环状布局。按照17年的不雅测基线，喷流横向位置发生了变迁，这可能由8到10年的准周期性激发。然而，这类横向改变的发源仍不清晰。

研究组报导了对于22年来射电不雅测的阐发，注解喷流位置角度的变迁周期约为11年，于是揣度不雅测到的是一个扭转的黑洞，它惹起了一个错位吸积盘的兰斯-蒂林进动。近似的喷流进动凡是也发生于其他勾当星系核中，但因为其变迁幅度小且周期长，是以很难探测到。

▲ Abstract：

The nearby radio galaxy M87 offers a unique opportunity to explore the connections between the central supermassive black hole and relativistic jets. Previous studies of the inner region of M87 revealed a wide opening angle for the jet originating near the black hole. The Event Horizon Telescope resolved the central radio source and found an asy妹妹etric ring structure consistent with expectations from general relativity. With a baseline of 17 years of observations, there was a shift in the jet s transverse position, possibly arising from an 8- to 10-year quasi-periodicity. However, the origin of this sideways shift remains unclear. Here we report an analysis of radio observations over 22 years that suggests a period of about 11 years for the variation in the position angle of the jet. We infer that we are seeing a spinning black hole that induces the Lense Thirring precession of a misaligned accretion disk. Similar jet precession may co妹妹only occur in other active galactic nuclei but has been challenging to detect owing to the small magnitude and long period of the variation.

▲ Abstract：

Heat engines convert thermal energy into mechanical work both in the classical and quantum regimes. However, quantum theory offers genuine non-classical forms of energy, different from heat, which so far have not been exploited in cyclic engines. Here we experimentally realize a quantum many-body engine fuelled by the energy difference between fermionic and bosonic ensembles of ultracold particles that follows from the Pauli exclusion principle. We employ a harmonically trapped superfluid gas of 6Li atoms close to a magnetic Feshbach resonance that allows us to effectively change the quantum statistics from Bose Einstein to Fermi Dirac, by tuning the gas between a Bose Einstein condensate of bosonic molecules and a unitary Fermi gas (and back) through a magnetic field. The quantum nature of such a Pauli engine is revealed by contrasting it with an engine in the classical thermal regime and with a purely interaction-driven device. We obtain a work output of several 106 vibrational quanta per cycle with an efficiency of up to 25%. Our findings establish quantum statistics as a useful thermodynamic resource for work production.

无机半导体是一种碳基质料，它联合了光电机能与简朴打造，经由过程转变化学布局来调解规模。无机半导体已经乐成用在打造无机发光二极管（OLEDs，现广泛运用在手机显示屏以及电视）、太阳能电池、晶体管以及传感器。

然而，打造电驱动的无机半导体激光器颇具应战性。这很坚苦，由于无机半导体凡是只撑持低电流密度，遭到注入电荷以及三重态的年夜量接收，而且因为接触而有分外损耗。简而言之，将电荷注入增益介质会致使没法容忍的损耗。

研究组采纳了另外一种要领，此中电荷注入以及激光于空间上分散，从而年夜年夜削减了损耗。经由过程开发一种集成器件布局实现了这一方针，将具备极高内部光天生的OLED与聚合物漫衍式反馈激光器有用耦合于一路。于集成布局的电驱动下，研究组不雅察到光输出相对于在驱动电流的阈�첩值，其发射光谱窄，于阈值以上造成光束。这些不雅测证明了激光发射。

该研究成果提供了一种史无前例的无机电子器件，并注解OLED的直接电泵浦是实现电驱动无机半导体激光器的一种很是有用的要领。这为可见激光提供了一种计谋，无望运用在光谱学、计量学以及传感。

▲ Abstract：

Organic semiconductors are carbon-based materials that combine optoelectronic properties with simple fabrication and the scope for tuning by changing their chemical structure. They have been successfully used to make organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs, now widely found in mobile phone displays and televisions), solar cells, transistors and sensors. However, making electrically driven organic semiconductor lasers is very challenging. It is difficult because organic semiconductors typically support only low current densities, suffer substantial absorption from injected charges and triplets, and have additional losses due to contacts. In short, injecting charges into the gain medium leads to intolerable losses. Here we take an alternative approach in which charge injection and lasing are spatially separated, thereby greatly reducing losses. We achieve this by developing an integrated device structure that efficiently couples an OLED, with exceptionally high internal-light generation, with a polymer distributed feedback laser. Under the electrical driving of the integrated structure, we observe a threshold in light output versus drive current, with a narrow emission spectrum and the formation of a beam above the threshold. These observations confirm lasing. Our results provide an organic electronic device that has not been previously demonstrated, and show that indirect electrical pumping by an OLED is a very effective way of realizing an electrically driven organic semiconductor laser. This provides an approach to visible lasers that could see applications in spectroscopy, metrology and sensing.

▲ Abstract：

Privileged chiral catalysts those that share co妹妹on structural features and are enantioselective across a range of reactions continue to transform the chemical-research landscape. In recent years, new reactivity modes have been achieved through excited-state catalysis, processes activated by light, but it is unclear if the selectivity of ground-state privileged catalysts can be matched. Although the interception of photogenerated intermediates by ground-state cycles has partially addressed this challenge, single, chiral photocatalysts that simultaneously regulate reactivity and selectivity are conspicuously scarce. So far, precision donor acceptor recognition motifs remain crucial in enantioselective photocatalyst design. Here we show that chiral Al-salen complexes, which have well-defined photophysical properties, can be used for the efficient photochemical deracemization of cyclopropyl ketones (up to 98:2 enantiomeric ratio (e.r.)). Irradiation at = 400 nm (violet light) augments the reactivity of the co妹妹ercial catalyst to enable reactivity and enantioselectivity to be regulated simultaneously. This circumvents the need for tailored catalyst substrate recognition motifs. It is predicted that this study will stimulate a re-evaluation of many venerable (ground-state) chiral catalysts in excited-state processes, ultimately leading to the identification of candidates that may be considered privileged in both reactivity models.

最近几年来，加州履历了愈来愈多的极度野火事务，致使年夜量的生命以及产业丧失。野火发生的部门变迁可归因在报酬天气变暖，但因为浩繁稠浊要素和野火规模低在全世界天气模式的网格标准，很难对于该影响举行正式量化。

研究组使用呆板进修来量化温度（和温度对于干旱的影响）与加利福尼亚州极度逐日野火增加（ 10000英亩）危害之间的经验瓜葛，并发明温度对于危害的影响重要是经由过程其对于燃料湿度的影响来调治的。经由过程将2003 2020年的汗青火警置在差别的配景天气温度以及干旱前提下，哄骗未发明的瓜葛来预计报酬变暖下极度逐日野火增加危害的变迁。

研究组发明，报酬变暖对于极度逐日野火增加危害的影响于一场接一场火警以及日复一日的根蒂根基上存于较着差异，这取决在天气变暖是否鞭策前提跨越某些干旱阈值，例如1.5 kPa的蒸汽压差以及10%的乏燃料水份。

到今朝为止，相对于在工业化前的前提，报酬变暖使极度逐日野火增加的总预期频次平均提高了25%（5-95%的规模为14-36%）。但对于在某些火警却险些没有变迁，而对于在其他类型的火警，加强幅度高达461%。

当汗青火警于一系列猜测的世纪末前提下时，与工业化前前提比拟，于低SSP1-2.6排放情景下，极度逐日野火增加事务的总预期频次增长了59%（47-71%），而于很是高的SSP5-8.5排放情景下，则增长了172%（156-188%）。

▲ Abstract：

California has experienced enhanced extreme wildfire behaviour in recent years, leading to substantial loss of life and property. Some portion of the change in wildfire behaviour is attributable to anthropogenic climate warming, but formally quantifying this contribution is difficult because of numerous confounding factors and because wildfires are below the grid scale of global climate models. Here we use machine learning to quantify empirical relationships between temperature (as well as the influence of temperature on aridity) and the risk of extreme daily wildfire growth ( 10,000 acres) in California and find that the influence of temperature on the risk is primarily mediated through its influence on fuel moisture. We use the uncovered relationships to estimate the changes in extreme daily wildfire growth risk under anthropogenic warming by subjecting historical fires from 2003 to 2020 to differing background climatological temperatures and aridity conditions. We find that the influence of anthropogenic warming on the risk of extreme daily wildfire growth varies appreciably on a fire-by-fire and day-by-day basis, depending on whether or not climate warming pushes conditions over certain thresholds of aridity, such as 1.5 kPa of vapour-pressure deficit and 10% dead fuel moisture. So far, anthropogenic warming has enhanced the aggregate expected frequency of extreme daily wildfire growth by 25% (5 95 range of 14 36%), on average, relative to preindustrial conditions. But for some fires, there was approximately no change, and for other fires, the enhancement has been as much as 461%. When historical fires are subjected to a range of projected end-of-century conditions, the aggregate expected frequency of extreme daily wildfire growth events increases by 59% (5 95 range of 47 71%) under a low SSP1 2.6 emissions scenario compared with an increase of 172% (5 95 range of 156 188%) under a very high SSP5 8.5 emissions scenario, relative to preindustrial conditions.
