▲ 摘要

行星得形成圍繞著各種恒星質(zhì)量和恒星系統(tǒng)結(jié)構(gòu)。早期對(duì)圍繞大質(zhì)量恒星得近距離軌道行星得研究表明，隨著恒星質(zhì)量得增加，巨行星得頻率會(huì)增加，直到達(dá)到1.9倍太陽(yáng)質(zhì)量得翻轉(zhuǎn)點(diǎn)，超過(guò)這個(gè)頻率就會(huì)迅速降低。

這暗示著行星得形成在更大質(zhì)量得恒星周?chē)艿阶璧K，而圍繞超過(guò)3 倍太陽(yáng)得恒星得巨大行星很少或可能根本不存在。然而用于探測(cè)小軌道行星得方法對(duì)大軌道行星不敏感。

感謝分享通過(guò)直接成像證明半人馬座雙星系統(tǒng)中質(zhì)量相當(dāng)于太陽(yáng)6至10倍得b星有一顆巨行星，其距離是日地距離得560倍。行星與恒星得質(zhì)量比為0.10~0.17%，與木星與太陽(yáng)得質(zhì)量比相似，但該行星距離恒星比木星約遠(yuǎn)100倍。該結(jié)果表明，行星可以駐留在比此前認(rèn)為得更大質(zhì)量得恒星系統(tǒng)中。

感謝分享表示，這顆行星不太可能是通過(guò)常規(guī)得核心吸積機(jī)制在原地形成得，而可能在其他地方形成，并通過(guò)動(dòng)力相互作用到達(dá)現(xiàn)在得位置，或者可能是通過(guò)引力不穩(wěn)定性形成得。

▲ Abstract

Planet formation occurs around a wide range of stellar masses and stellar system architectures. Earlier studies of planets in close-in orbits around high-mass stars have revealed an increase in giant planet frequency with increasing stellar mass until a turnover point at 1.9?solar masses (M⊙), above which the frequency rapidly decreases. This could potentially imply that planet formation is impeded around more massive stars, and that giant planets around stars exceeding 3?M⊙ may be rare or non-existent. However, the methods used to detect planets in small orbits are insensitive to planets in wide orbits. Here we demonstrate the existence of a planet at 560 times the Sun–Earth distance from the 6- to 10-M⊙ binary b?Centauri through direct imaging. The planet-to-star mass ratio of 0.10–0.17% is similar to the Jupiter–Sun ratio, but the separation of the detected planet is about 100 times wider than that of Jupiter. Our results show that planets can reside in much more massive stellar systems than what would be expected from extrapolation of previous results. The planet is unlikely to have formed in situ through the conventional core accretion mechanism4, but might have formed elsewhere and arrived to its present location through dynamical interactions, or might have formed via gravitational instability.

▲ Abstract

Skin-like intrinsically stretchable soft electronic devices are essential to realize next-generation remote and preventative medicine for advanced personal healthcare. The recent development of intrinsically stretchable conductors and semiconductors has enabled highly mechanically robust and skin-conformable electronic circuits or optoelectronic devices. However, their operating frequencies have been limited to less than 100?hertz, which is much lower than that required for many applications. Here we report intrinsically stretchable diodes—based on stretchable organic and nanomaterials—capable of operating at a frequency as high as 13.56?megahertz. This operating frequency is high enough for the wireless operation of soft sensors and electrochromic display pixels using radiofrequency identification in which the base-carrier frequency is 6.78?megahertz or 13.56?megahertz. Specifically, we developed a stretchable anode, cathode, semiconductor and current collector that can satisfy the strict requirements for high-frequency operation. Finally, we show the operational feasibility of our diode by integrating it with a stretchable sensor, electrochromic display pixel and antenna to realize a stretchable wireless tag. This work is an important step towards enabling enhanced functionalities and capabilities for skin-like wearable electronics.

▲ Abstract

Strong periodic driving with light offers the potential to coherently manipulate the properties of quantum materials on ultrafast timescales. Recently, strategies have emerged to drastically alter electronic and magnetic properties by optically inducing non-trivial band topologies, emergent spin interactions and even superconductivity. However, the prospects and methods of coherently engineering optical properties on demand are far less understood13. Here we demonstrate coherent control and giant modulation of optical nonlinearity in a van der Waals layered magnetic insulator, manganese phosphorus trisulfide (MnPS3). By driving far off-resonance from the lowest on-site manganese d–d transition, we observe a coherent on–off switching of its optical second harmonic generation efficiency on the timescale of 100?femtoseconds with no measurable dissipation. At driving electric fields of the order of 109?volts per metre, the on–off ratio exceeds 10, which is limited only by the sample damage threshold. Floquet theory calculations based on a single-ion model of MnPS3 are able to reproduce the measured driving field amplitude and polarization dependence of the effect. Our approach can be applied to a broad range of insulating materials and could lead to dynamically designed nonlinear optical elements.

▲ 摘要

全球陸地碳匯正在增加，抵消了每十年約三分之一得人為排放到大氣中得二氧化碳，從而減緩了大氣中二氧化碳得增長(zhǎng)。據(jù)推測(cè)，二氧化碳引起得全球光合作用得長(zhǎng)期增加，即二氧化碳“施肥”，是目前陸地碳匯增加得很大一部分原因。然而，對(duì)于由大氣二氧化碳濃度增加而造成光合作用歷史性增加得估計(jì)值，長(zhǎng)期替代模型和陸地生物圈模型之間一直存在一個(gè)數(shù)量級(jí)得差異。

感謝分享通過(guò)確定結(jié)合陸地生物圈模型和全球碳預(yù)算估計(jì)得緊急約束，量化二氧化碳對(duì)全球光合作用得歷史影響。分析表明，1981至上年年，二氧化碳施肥使全球年光合作用增加了約11.85（±1.4%）億噸或13.98（±1.63）億噸碳。感謝分享表示，該結(jié)果有助于解決全球光合作用對(duì)二氧化碳得歷史敏感性估計(jì)數(shù)得矛盾，并強(qiáng)調(diào)了人為排放對(duì)全球生態(tài)系統(tǒng)得巨大影響。

▲ Abstract

The global terrestrial carbon sink is increasing, offsetting roughly a third of anthropogenic CO2 released into the atmosphere each decade1, and thus serving to slow4 the growth of atmospheric CO2. It has been suggested that a CO2-induced long-term increase in global photosynthesis, a process known as CO2 fertilization, is responsible for a large proportion of the current terrestrial carbon sink. The estimated magnitude of the historic increase in photosynthesis as result of increasing atmospheric CO2 concentrations, however, differs by an order of magnitude between long-term proxies and terrestrial biosphere models. Here we quantify the historic effect of CO2 on global photosynthesis by identifying an emergent constraint that combines terrestrial biosphere models with global carbon budget estimates. Our analysis suggests that CO2 fertilization increased global annual photosynthesis by 11.85?±?1.4%, or 13.98?±?1.63?petagrams carbon (mean ± 95% confidence interval) between 1981 and 上年. Our results help resolve conflicting estimates of the historic sensitivity of global photosynthesis to CO2, and highlight the large impact anthropogenic emissions have had on ecosystems worldwide.

▲ Abstract

Armoured dinosaurs are well known for their evolution of specialized tail weapons—paired tail spikes in stegosaurs and heavy tail clubs in advanced ankylosaurs. Armoured dinosaurs from southern Gondwana are rare and enigmatic, but probably include the earliest branches of Ankylosauria. Here we describe a mostly complete, semi-articulated skeleton of a small (approximately 2?m) armoured dinosaur from the late Cretaceous period of Magallanes in southernmost Chile, a region that is biogeographically related to West Antarctica. Stegouros elengassen gen. et sp. nov. evolved a large tail weapon unlike any dinosaur: a flat, frond-like structure formed by seven pairs of laterally projecting osteoderms encasing the distal half of the tail. Stegouros shows ankylosaurian cranial characters, but a largely ancestral postcranial skeleton, with some stegosaur-like characters. Phylogenetic analyses placed Stegouros in Ankylosauria; specifically, it is related to Kunbarrasaurus from Australia and Antarctopelta from Antarctica, forming a clade of Gondwanan ankylosaurs that split earliest from all other ankylosaurs. The large osteoderms and specialized tail vertebrae in Antarctopelta suggest that it had a tail weapon similar to Stegouros. We propose a new clade, the Parankylosauria, to include the first ancestor of Stegouros—but not Ankylosaurus—and all descendants of that ancestor.

▲ Abstract

The biophysical properties of neurons are the foundation for computation in the brain. Neuronal size is a key determinant of single neuron input–output features and varies substantially across species. However, it is unknown whether different species adapt neuronal properties to conserve how single neurons process information. Here we characterize layer 5 cortical pyramidal neurons across 10 mammalian species to identify the allometric relationships that *ern how neuronal biophysics change with cell size. In 9 of the 10 species, we observe conserved rules that control the conductance of voltage-gated potassium and HCN channels. Species with larger neurons, and therefore a decreased surface-to-volume ratio, exhibit higher membrane ionic conductances. This relationship produces a conserved conductance per unit brain volume. These size-dependent rules result in large but predictable changes in somatic and dendritic integrative properties. Human neurons do not follow these allometric relationships, exhibiting much lower voltage-gated potassium and HCN conductances. Together, our results in layer 5 neurons identify conserved evolutionary principles for neuronal biophysics in mammals as well as notable features of the human cortex.
