Abstract The Cryogenic Rare Event Search with Superconducting Thermometers (CRESST) experiment aims at the direct detection of dark matter particles via their elastic scattering off nuclei in a scintillating CaWO $$_4$$ 4 target crystal. crystal is operated together light d...

Nanoscaled VO2 structures were made using a fast microwave-assisted synthesis method in acetophenone as solvent, starting from vanadium pentoxide V2O5. Insights the reaction and purification process elaborated by attenuated total reflection infrared nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, which validated choice of oleyl amine ligand solvent. A straightforward heat treatment inert atmosphere wa...

Abyssomicin C and its atropisomer are potent inhibitors of bacterial folate metabolism. They possess complex polycyclic structures, their biosynthesis has been shown to involve several unusual enzymatic transformations. Using a combination synthesis in vitro assays we reveal that AbyV, cytochrome P450 enzyme from the aby gene cluster, catalyses key late-stage epoxidation required for installati...

Geometrical design of the spiral crystal selector can affect crystal orientation in the final single crystal structure. To achieve a better understanding of conditions associated with the onset of crystal orientation in a spiral crystal selector, temperature field was investigated using three-dimensional finite element method during the process. Different geometries of spiral crystal selec...
