Radioisotopes and hazardous gases can have undetermined environmental pathways. Researchers at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory constructed a chamber that complies with the requirements needed for an atmospheric reaction platform and the safety principles of interacting with hazardous dispersible sources to enable the environmental testing of these gases. Initial dynamic testing showed inter-chamber mixing completed from minutes to 1.5 h. The photooxidation of butyl iodine showed the presence of signals from reaction products and intermediaries for up to 50 h. Current detection limits of the chamber and analytical collection and testing approach were shown to be in the single-digit parts per billion levels. The comparisons between the measured oxidation trends and literature show the utility of performing laboratory experiments to validate the results of modeling for larger-scale scenarios. Researchers at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory constructed and tested an atmospheric chamber that begins to demonstrate the utility of such a chamber design for the study of the atmospheric fate of especially hazardous and radioactive gases.

Abstract Electrocaloric heat pumps for cooling or heating are an emerging emission-free technology, which could replace vapor-compression systems, harmful refrigerants, and mechanical compressors by a solid-state solution with theoretically even higher coefficient of performance. Existing electrocaloric ceramics could reach around 85% of the Carnot-limit, and existing electrocaloric polymers could enable a compact and high power density system. However, the performance of published system demonstrators stays significantly below this performance, partly because of the external electronic charging loss (cyclic charging/discharging of electrocaloric capacitors). This work analyzes how the latest 99.74% ultra-efficient power electronics enables to maintain a high performance even at the system level. A first-principle analysis on material and system parameters also shows the effect of significantly different material properties of ceramics (PMN, PST) and PVDF-based polymers on system parameters. A system benchmark provides insight into system characteristics not covered by material analysis. Graphical abstract

The interchromatin space in the cell nucleus contains various membrane-less nuclear bodies. Recent findings indicate that nuclear speckles, comprising a distinct nuclear body, exhibit interactions with certain chromatin regions in a ground state. Key questions are how this ground state of chromatin-nuclear speckle association is established and what are the gene regulatory roles of this layer of nuclear organization. We report here that chromatin structural factors CTCF and cohesin are required for full ground state association between DNA and nuclear speckles. Disruption of ground state DNA-speckle contacts via either CTCF depletion or cohesin depletion had minor effects on basal level expression of speckle-associated genes, however we show strong negative effects on stimulus-dependent induction of speckle-associated genes. We identified a putative speckle targeting motif (STM) within cohesin subunit RAD21 and demonstrated that the STM is required for chromatin-nuclear speckle association. In contrast to reduction of CTCF or RAD21, depletion of the cohesin releasing factor WAPL stabilized cohesin on chromatin and DNA-speckle contacts, resulting in enhanced inducibility of speckle-associated genes. In addition, we observed disruption of chromatin-nuclear speckle association in patient derived cells with Cornelia de Lange syndrome (CdLS), a congenital neurodevelopmental diagnosis involving defective cohesin pathways, thus revealing nuclear speckles as an avenue for therapeutic inquiry. In summary, our findings reveal a mechanism to establish the ground organizational state of chromatin-speckle association, to promote gene inducibility, and with relevance to human disease.
