An artificial model of photosynthetic photosystem II: visible-light-derived O2 production from water by a di-[small mu]-oxo-bridged manganese dimer as an oxygen evolving center

Visible-light-derived O2 production was yielded by conjugating water oxidation catalysis by [(OH2)(terpy)Mn([small mu]-O)2Mn(terpy)(OH2)]3+ and photo-sensitization of [Ru(bpy)3]2+ at an interlayer of [...]



Supramolecular amphiphiles

This tutorial review demonstrates the molecular engineering of supramolecular amphiphiles (SA), leading to controlled self-assembly and diversified [...]

Theory of neutrino oscillations with entanglement

We show that, despite appearances, a theoretical approach to neutrino oscillation in which the neutrino and its interaction partners are entangled yields the standard result for the neutrino oscillation wavelength. We also shed some light on the [...]

Multipole moments of bumpy black holes

General relativity predicts the existence of black holes, compact objects whose spacetimes depend on only their mass, spin, and charge in vacuum (the "no hair" theorem). As various observations probe deeper into the strong fields of black hole candidates, it is becoming possible to test this [...]

Lepton flavor violating signals of the littlest Higgs model with T parity via e^{+}e^{-} and \gamma\gamma collisions at the ILC

Taking into account the constraints on the free parameters of the littlest Higgs model with T-parity (called LHT model) from some rare decay processes, such as m eg and m3e, we consider the contributions of the LHT model to the lepton flavor violating [...]

Neutrino diffusion and mass ejection in protoneutron stars

We discus the mass ejection mechanism induced by diffusion of neutrino during the early stage of the protoneutron star cooling. A dynamical calculation is employed in order to determine the amount of matter ejected and the remnant compact object mass. [...]

Bubbles of nothing in flux compactifications

We construct a simple AdS4×S1 flux compactification stabilized by a complex scalar field winding the single extra dimension and demonstrate an instability to nucleation of a bubble of nothing. This occurs when the Kaluza – Klein dimension [...]

10 GeV dark matter candidates and cosmic ray antiprotons

Recent measurements performed with some direct dark matter detection experiments,  CDMS-II and CoGENT (after DAMA/LIBRA), have unveiled a few events compatible with WIMP-nuclei interactions. The preferred mass range is around 10 GeV, with a quite [...]
