Single-cell measurement of plasmid copy number and promoter activity
Abstract Accurate measurements of promoter activities are crucial for predictably building genetic systems. Here we report a method to simultaneously count plasmid DNA, RNA transcripts, and protein expression in single living bacteria. From these data, the activity of a promoter in units of RNAP/s can be inferred. This work facilitates the reporting of promoters in absolute units, the variability in their activity across a population, and their quantitative toll on cellular resources, all of which provide critical insights for cellular engineering.

Interaction-driven spontaneous ferromagnetic insulating states with odd Chern numbers
Motivated by recent experimental work on moiré systems in a strong magnetic field, we compute the compressibility as well as the spin correlations and Hofstadter spectrum of spinful electrons on a honeycomb lattice with Hubbard interactions using the determinantal quantum Monte Carlo method. While the interactions in general preserve quantum and anomalous Hall states, emergent features arise corresponding to an antiferromagnetic insulator at half-filling and other incompressible states following the Chern sequence ± (2N + 1). These odd integer Chern states exhibit strong ferromagnetic correlations and arise spontaneously without any external mechanism for breaking the spin-rotation symmetry. Analogs of these magnetic states should be observable in general interacting quantum Hall systems. In addition, the interacting Hofstadter spectrum is qualitatively similar to the experimental data at intermediate values of the on-site interaction.

Development of alpha cluster structure in nuclei of the same mass number
The resonant 14 N+α particle scattering was studied in the 18 F excitation region from 6.5 to 9 MeV at Astana cyclotron using the TTIK approach. The excitation functions for the elastic 14 N+α scattering were analyzed in the framework of R-matrix approach. The observed strong alpha cluster structure in 18 F is compared with that in 18 O.
The superatomic state beyond conventional magic numbers: Ligated metal chalcogenide superatoms
The field of cluster science is drawing increasing attention due to the strong size and composition-dependent properties of clusters and the exciting prospect of clusters serving as the building blocks for materials with tailored properties. However, identifying a unifying central paradigm that provides a framework for classifying and understanding the diverse behaviors is an outstanding challenge. One such central paradigm is the superatom concept that was developed for metallic and ligand-protected metallic clusters. The periodic electronic and geometric closed shells in clusters result in their properties being based on the stability they gain when they achieve closed shells. This stabilization results in the clusters having a well-defined valence allowing them to be classified as superatoms – thus, extending the periodic table to a third dimension. This perspective focuses on extending the superatomic concept to ligated metal-chalcogen clusters that have recently been synthesized in solutions and form assemblies with counterions that have wide-ranging applications. Here we illustrate that the periodic patterns emerge in the electronic structure of ligated metal-chalcogenide clusters. The stabilization gained by the closing of their electronic shells allows for the prediction of their redox properties. Further investigations reveal how the selection of ligands may control the redox properties of the superatoms. These ligated clusters may serve as chemical dopants for two-dimensional semiconductors to control their transport characteristics. Superatomic molecules of multiple metal-chalcogen superatoms allow for the formation of nano pn junctions ideal for directed transport and photon harvesting. As a result, the perspective outlines future developments, including the synthesis of magnetic superatoms.
Multi-species temperature and number density analysis of a laser-produced plasma using dual-comb spectroscopy
Dual-comb spectroscopy (DCS) represents a novel method of using absorption spectroscopy as a diagnostic tool for multispecies analysis of excitation temperatures and column densities in laser-produced plasmas (LPPs). DCS was performed on a LPP generated by ablating a multielement alloy containing Nd, Gd, and Fe. Transitions from all three elements were observed in absorption spectra measured from 530.08 to 535.19 nm at seven time-delays from 31 to 250 μs after ablation. The spectra were fit using a nonlinear regression algorithm to determine peak areas, and excitation temperatures and column densities were determined for the three atomic species separately using Boltzmann plots. The measured excitation temperatures of Nd I and Gd I showed good agreement at all time-delays, whereas the Fe I temperature was found to be higher, and the ratios between the column densities varied with delay. The observations are understood via effects of LPP spatial averaging, elemental fractionation, and molecular formation and are compared and contextualized with previous work studying LPPs using other spectroscopic techniques. A brief discussion of the precision and accuracy of the determined excitation temperatures and column densities is also presented.
On the number of stable solutions in the Kuramoto model
We consider a system of n coupled oscillators described by the Kuramoto model with the dynamics given by θ˙=ω+Kf(θ). In this system, an equilibrium solution θ∗ is considered stable when ω+Kf(θ∗)=0, and the Jacobian matrix Df(θ∗) has a simple eigenvalue of zero, indicating the presence of a direction in which the oscillators can adjust their phases. Additionally, the remaining eigenvalues of Df(θ∗) are negative, indicating stability in orthogonal directions. A crucial constraint imposed on the equilibrium solution is that |Γ(θ∗)|≤π, where |Γ(θ∗)| represents the length of the shortest arc on the unit circle that contains the equilibrium solution θ∗. We provide a proof that there exists a unique solution satisfying the aforementioned stability criteria. This analysis enhances our understanding of the stability and uniqueness of these solutions, offering valuable insights into the dynamics of coupled oscillators in this system.
Trinity by the Numbers: The Computing Effort that Made Trinity Possible
Utilizing rarely used source materials and identifying points of bias among more commonly used sources, this critical review provides a more complete representation of wartime Los Alamos computing operations and personnel, including the Laboratory’s typically underrepresented human computers and how they contributed to the success of the Trinity test. This paper also identifies how the Laboratory’s unusual wartime computing demands served as a formative experience among many Los Alamos personnel and consultants who contributed significantly to the development and use of mechanized computing at and beyond Los Alamos after the war.
