▲ 摘要
通過亞甲基（C-H）鍵活化將烷基鏈脫氫轉(zhuǎn)化為烯烴仍然是一個(gè)重大挑戰(zhàn)。我們報(bào)告兩類吡啶-吡啶酮配體，它們通過鈀催化得β-亞甲基C-H活化羧酸進(jìn)行分散脫氫反應(yīng)，直接合成α、β-不飽和羧酸或γ-烷基丁烯內(nèi)酯。
這對(duì)反應(yīng)得定向性質(zhì)允許羧酸在其他烯醇化功能（如酮）得存在下進(jìn)行化學(xué)選擇性脫氫，從而提供現(xiàn)有羰基去飽和協(xié)議無法提供得化學(xué)選擇性。
通過配體促進(jìn)C(sp3) -H鍵得優(yōu)先活化，而不是C(sp2) -H鍵或脫氫和乙烯基C -H炔基化序列，可以克服產(chǎn)物抑制。脫氫反應(yīng)與作為末端氧化劑得分子氧是相容得。
▲ Abstract
Dehydrogenative transformations of alkyl chains to alkenes through methylene carbon-hydrogen (C–H) activation remain a substantial challenge. We report two classes of pyridine-pyridone ligands that enable divergent dehydrogenation reactions through palladium-catalyzed β-methylene C–H activation of carboxylic acids, leading to the direct syntheses of α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids or γ-alkylidene butenolides. The directed nature of this pair of reactions allows chemoselective dehydrogenation of carboxylic acids in the presence of other enolizable functionalities such as ketones, providing chemoselectivity that is not possible by means of existing carbonyl desaturation protocols. Product inhibition is overcome through ligand-promoted preferential activation of C(sp3)–H bonds rather than C(sp2)–H bonds or a sequence of dehydrogenation and vinyl C–H alkynylation. The dehydrogenation reaction is compatible with molecular oxygen as the terminal oxidant.

▲ Abstract
Coherent upconversion of terahertz and mid-infrared signals into visible light opens new horizons for spectroscopy, imaging, and sensing but represents a challenge for conventional nonlinear optics. Here, we used a plasmonic nanocavity hosting a few hundred molecules to demonstrate optomechanical transduction of submicrowatt continuous-wave signals from the mid-infrared (32 terahertz) onto the visible domain at ambient conditions. The incoming field resonantly drives a collective molecular vibration, which imprints a coherent modulation on a visible pump laser and results in upconverted Raman sidebands with subnatural linewidth. Our dual-band nanocavity offers an estimated 13 orders of magnitude enhancement in upconversion efficiency per molecule. Our results demonstrate that molecular cavity optomechanics is a flexible paradigm for frequency conversion leveraging tailorable molecular and plasmonic properties.

▲ Abstract
Quantum spin liquids, exotic phases of matter with topological order, have been a major focus in physics for the past several decades. Such phases feature long-range quantum entanglement that can potentially be exploited to realize robust quantum computation. We used a 219-atom programmable quantum simulator to probe quantum spin liquid states. In our approach, arrays of atoms were placed on the links of a kagome lattice, and evolution under Rydberg blockade created frustrated quantum states with no local order. The onset of a quantum spin liquid phase of the paradigmatic toric code type was detected by using topological string operators that provide direct signatures of topological order and quantum correlations. Our observations enable the controlled experimental exploration of topological matter and protected quantum information processing.

▲ Abstract
The discovery of topological order has revised the understanding of quantum matter and provided the theoretical foundation for many quantum error–correcting codes. Realizing topologically ordered states has proven to be challenging in both condensed matter and synthetic quantum systems. We prepared the ground state of the toric code Hamiltonian using an efficient quantum circuit on a superconducting quantum processor. We measured a topological entanglement entropy near the expected value of –ln2 and simulated anyon interferometry to extract the braiding statistics of the emergent excitations. Furthermore, we investigated key aspects of the surface code, including logical state injection and the decay of the nonlocal order parameter. Our results demonstrate the potential for quantum processors to provide insights into topological quantum matter and quantum error correction.

超短周期行星（USP）得軌道周期小于1天。USP系外行星得精確質(zhì)量和半徑可以為它們未知得形成和進(jìn)化過程提供約束。
我們報(bào)告了對(duì)USP行星GJ 367b得探測(cè)和表征，使用高精度得光度和視向速度觀測(cè)。GJ 367b每7.7小時(shí)圍繞一顆附近得明亮紅矮星運(yùn)行。GJ 367b得半徑為地球半徑得0.718±0.054，質(zhì)量為地球質(zhì)量得0.546±0.078，是一顆亞地球行星。

▲ Abstract
Ultrashort-period (USP) exoplanets have orbital periods shorter than 1 day. Precise masses and radii of USP exoplanets could provide constraints on their unknown formation and evolution processes. We report the detection and characterization of the USP planet GJ 367b using high-precision photometry and radial velocity observations. GJ 367b orbits a bright (V-band magnitude of 10.2), nearby, and red (M-type) dwarf star every 7.7 hours. GJ 367b has a radius of 0.718 ± 0.054 Earth-radii and a mass of 0.546 ± 0.078 Earth-masses, making it a sub-Earth planet. The corresponding bulk density is 8.106 ± 2.165 grams per cubic centimeter—close to that of iron. An interior structure model predicts that the planet has an iron core radius fraction of 86 ± 5%, similar to that of Mercury’s interior.

南大洋在確定大氣二氧化碳方面發(fā)揮重要作用，但對(duì)該區(qū)域空氣-海洋二氧化碳通量得估計(jì)差異很大。
在這項(xiàng)研究中，我們通過將通量與大氣輸運(yùn)模式中得水平和垂直二氧化碳梯度相關(guān)聯(lián)，并應(yīng)用這些梯度得大氣觀測(cè)來估計(jì)通量，從而限制了南大洋得海氣二氧化碳交換。

這與大氣逆溫估計(jì)得平均值和基于二氧化碳產(chǎn)品得表層海洋分壓得平均值一致，但我們得數(shù)據(jù)表明，年平均吸收比蕞近對(duì)剖面浮體觀測(cè)結(jié)果得解釋更強(qiáng)。
▲ Abstract
The Southern Ocean plays an important role in determining atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2), yet estimates of air-sea CO2 flux for the region diverge widely. In this study, we constrained Southern Ocean air-sea CO2 exchange by relating fluxes to horizontal and vertical CO2 gradients in atmospheric transport models and applying atmospheric observations of these gradients to estimate fluxes. Aircraft-based measurements of the vertical atmospheric CO2 gradient provide robust flux constraints. We found an annual mean flux of –0.53 ± 0.23 petagrams of carbon per year (net uptake) south of 45°S during the period 2009–2018. This is consistent with the mean of atmospheric inversion estimates and surface-ocean partial pressure of CO2 (PCO2)–based products, but our data indicate stronger annual mean uptake than suggested by recent interpretations of profiling float observations.
