Photocatalytic site-selective radical C(sp³)–H aminoalkylation, alkylation and arylation of silanes

Site-selective C–H functionalization of silanes is challenging because of the presence of multiple C–H bonds in the same molecule. Now a general photocatalytic site-selective radical functionalization of organosilicon compounds is reported, enabled by the β-silicon effect, which activates β-C(sp³)–H bonds. These reactions are applicable to linear and complex cyclic silanes.

Testing electron–phonon coupling for the superconductivity in kagome metal CsV₃Sb₅

Electron-phonon coupling is thought to be too weak to be responsible for the superconducting Cooper pairing of the kagome metals AV₃Sb₅, but an experimental measurement is lacking. Here, the authors use ARPES measurements to find that electron-phonon coupling in CsV₃Sb₅ is strong enough to support the experimental superconducting transition.

Direct transfer of tri- and di-fluoroethanol units enabled by radical activation of organosilicon reagents

Methods for direct incorporation of tri- and di-fluoroethanol units in molecules are relatively limited. Here, the authors report two organosilicon reagents which are applied to allylation, alkylation and alkenylation reactions as tri- and di-fluoroethanol transfer reagents.

Silver lining to a climate crisis in multiple prospects for alleviating crop waterlogging under future climates

The climate crisis will increase the frequency of extreme weather events. Harrison et al. show that while global waterlogging-induced yield losses increase from 3–11% historically to 10–20% by 2080, adapting sowing periods and adopting waterlogging-tolerant genotypes can negate such yield losses.

Preclinical tumor control with a laser-accelerated high-energy electron radiotherapy prototype

Radiotherapy using very-high-energy electron (VHEE) beam is promising for tumor treatment. Here this group reports a compact and one-month stable VHEE system with high energy laser wakefield acceleration technique enabling the effective tumor irradiation comparable to commercial X-ray radiotherapy.

Direct chemical conversion of graphene to boron- and nitrogen- and carbon-containing atomic layers

There is interest in hexagonal boron nitride and hexagonal boron carbonitride in electronics applications, but synthesizing them with high quality is challenging. Here, chemical vapour deposition graphene was chemically converted to hexagonal boron nitride and hexagonal boron carbonitride with both high on-off ratios and mobilities.

Photon deceleration in plasma wakes generates single-cycle relativistic tunable infrared pulses

Plasma can act as strong nonlinear refractive index medium that can be exploited to downshift the frequency of a laser pulse. Here, the authors show the generation of single-cycle tunable infrared pulses using strong density gradients associated with laser-produced wakes in plasmas.

Relativistic single-cycle tunable infrared pulses generated from a tailored plasma density structure

A scheme for generating intense single-cycle pulses in the 5–14 μm wavelength range is proposed. The generation mechanism is described by photon frequency downshifting of an off-the-shelf Ti:sapphire laser in a tailored plasma density structure.
