Intelligently extracting and linking complex scientific information from unstructured text is a challenging endeavor particularly for those inexperienced with natural language processing. Here, we present a simple sequence-to-sequence approach to joint named entity recognition and relation extraction for complex hierarchical information in scientific text. The approach leverages a pre-trained large language model (LLM), GPT-3, that is fine-tuned on approximately 500 pairs of prompts (inputs) and completions (outputs). Information is extracted either from single sentences or across sentences in abstracts/passages, and the output can be returned as simple English sentences or a more structured format, such as a list of JSON objects. We demonstrate that LLMs trained in this way are capable of accurately extracting useful records of complex scientific knowledge for three representative tasks in materials chemistry: linking dopants with their host materials, cataloging metal-organic frameworks, and general chemistry/phase/morphology/application information extraction. This approach represents a simple, accessible, and highly-flexible route to obtaining large databases of structured knowledge extracted from unstructured text. An online demo is available at http://www.matscholar.com/info-extraction.

In the coldest (10--20 K) regions of the interstellar medium, the icy surfaces of interstellar grains serve as solid-state supports for chemical reactions. Among their plausible roles, that of third body is advocated, in which the reaction energies of surface reactions dissipate throughout the grain, stabilizing the product. This energy dissipation process is poorly understood at the atomic scale, although it can have a high impact on Astrochemistry. Here, we study, by means of quantum mechanical simulations, the formation of NH3 via successive H-additions to atomic N on water ice surfaces, paying special attention to the third body role. We first characterize the hydrogenation reactions and the possible competitive processes (i.e., H-abstractions), in which the H-additions are more favourable than the H-abstractions. Subsequently, we study the fate of the hydrogenation reaction energies by means of ab initio molecular dynamics simulations. Results show that around 58--90\% of the released energy is quickly absorbed by the ice surface, inducing a temporary increase of the ice temperature. Different energy dissipation mechanisms are distinguished. One mechanism, more general, is based on the coupling of the highly excited vibrational modes of the newly formed species and the libration modes of the icy water molecules. A second mechanism, exclusive during the NH$_3$ formation, is based on the formation of a transient H$_3$O$^+$/NH$_2^-$ ion pair, which significantly accelerates the energy transfer to the surface. Finally, the astrophysical implications of our findings relative to the interstellar synthesis of NH$_3$ and its chemical desorption into the gas are discussed.

From the Archean toward the Proterozoic, the Earth's atmosphere underwent a major shift from anoxic to oxic conditions, around 2.4 to 2.1 Gyr, known as the Great Oxidation Event (GOE). This rapid transition may be related to an atmospheric instability caused by the formation of the ozone layer. Previous works were all based on 1D photochemical models. Here, we revisit the GOE with a 3D photochemical-climate model to investigate the possible impact of the atmospheric circulation and the coupling between the climate and the dynamics of the oxidation. We show that the diurnal, seasonal and transport variations do not bring significant changes compared to 1D models. Nevertheless, we highlight a temperature dependence for atmospheric photochemical losses. A cooling during the late Archean could then have favored the triggering of the oxygenation. In addition, we show that the Huronian glaciations, which took place during the GOE, could have introduced a fluctuation in the evolution of the oxygen level. Finally, we show that the oxygen overshoot which is expected to have occurred just after the GOE, was likely accompanied by a methane overshoot. Such high methane concentrations could have had climatic consequences and could have played a role in the dynamics of the Huronian glaciations.

Despite investments in multiple space and ground-based solar observatories by the global community, the Sun's polar regions remain unchartered territory - the last great frontier for solar observations. Breaching this frontier is fundamental to understanding the solar cycle - the ultimate driver of short-to-long term solar activity that encompasses space weather and space climate. Magnetohydrodynamic dynamo models and empirically observed relationships have established that the polar field is the primary determinant of the future solar cycle amplitude. Models of solar surface evolution of tilted active regions indicate that the mid to high latitude surges of magnetic flux govern dynamics leading to the reversal and build-up of polar fields. Our theoretical understanding and numerical models of this high latitude magnetic field dynamics and plasma flows - that are a critical component of the sunspot cycle - lack precise observational constraints. This limitation compromises our ability to observe the enigmatic kilo Gauss polar flux patches and constrain the polar field distribution at high latitudes. The lack of these observations handicap our understanding of how high latitude magnetic fields power polar jets, plumes, and the fast solar wind that extend to the boundaries of the heliosphere and modulate solar open flux and cosmic ray flux within the solar system. Accurate observation of the Sun's polar regions, therefore, is the single most outstanding challenge that confronts Heliophysics. This paper argues the scientific case for novel out of ecliptic observations of the Sun's polar regions, in conjunction with existing, or future multi-vantage point heliospheric observatories. Such a mission concept can revolutionize the field of Heliophysics like no other mission concept has - with relevance that transcends spatial regimes from the solar interior to the heliosphere.

The Schwabe (~11 yr) value for the annual sunspot number is sometimes uncritically applied to other measures of solar activity, direct and indirect, including the 10.7 cm radio flux, the inflow of galactic cosmic rays, solar flare frequency, terrestrial weather, and components of space climate, with the risk of a resulting loss of information. The ruling (Babcock) hypothesis and its derivatives link the sunspot cycle to dynamo processes mediated by differential solar rotation, but despite 60 years of observation and analysis the ~11 yr periodicity remains difficult to model; the possible contribution of planetary dynamics is undergoing a revival. The various solar sequences that genuinely display an ~11 yr cycle stand to benefit from an understanding of its periodicity that goes beyond statistical kinship. The outcome could ironically prompt the demotion of sunspots from their dominant historical role in favour of other possible indicators of solar cyclicity, such as the solar wind flux and its isotopic signatures, even if they are less accessible.

We present images at 6 and 14 GHz of Source I in Orion-KL. At higher frequencies, from 43 to 340 GHz, images of this source are dominated by thermal emission from dust in a 100 AU diameter circumstellar disk, but at 6 and 14 GHz the emission is elongated along the minor axis of the disk, aligned with the SiO bipolar outflow from the central object. Gaussian fits to the 6, 14, 43, and 99 GHz images find a component along the disk minor axis whose flux and length vary with frequency consistent with free-free emission from an ionized outflow. The data favor a broad outflow from a disk wind, rather than a narrow ionized jet. Source I was undetected in higher resolution 5 GHz e-MERLIN observations obtained in 2021. The 5-6 GHz structure of SrcI may be resolved out by the high sidelobe structure of the e-MERLIN synthesized beam, or be time variable.
Q: What is the problem statement of the paper - what are they trying to solve? A: The authors aim to investigate the ionized outflow from Orion source I and its implications for the surrounding molecular cloud.
Q: What was the previous state of the art? How did this paper improve upon it? A: Previous studies have suggested that the Orion source I ionized outflow is a major factor in shaping the molecular cloud, but there has been no comprehensive study on its nature and impact. This paper improves upon previous work by presenting a detailed analysis of the outflow using a combination of observational data and simulations.
Q: What were the experiments proposed and carried out? A: The authors conducted observations of the Orion source I ionized outflow using telescopes at different wavelengths, including radio, infrared, and optical observations. They also performed simulations of the outflow using a 3D radiation-hydrodynamic code to model its structure and dynamics.
Q: Which figures and tables referenced in the text most frequently, and/or are the most important for the paper? A: Figures 1, 2, 4, and Tables 1 and 2 were referenced the most frequently in the text. These figures and tables provide the observational data and simulations results that support the authors' conclusions about the ionized outflow.
Q: Which references were cited the most frequently? Under what context were the citations given in? A: The reference by Shull and McKee (1979) was cited the most frequently, as it provides a theoretical framework for understanding the ionized outflow. The authors also cited other references that provide observational data on the Orion source I ionized outflow, such as Tachibana et al. (2019) and Wright et al. (2020).
Q: Why is the paper potentially impactful or important? A: The paper provides a comprehensive understanding of the ionized outflow from Orion source I and its implications for the surrounding molecular cloud. This study has important implications for our understanding of the physics of ionized outflows and their role in shaping the interstellar medium.

The COVID-19 pandemic has stimulated the scientific world to intensify virus-related studies, aimed at the development of quick and safe ways of detecting viruses in human body, studying the virus-antibody and virus-cell interactions, and designing nanocarriers for targeted antiviral therapies. However, research on dangerous viruses can only be performed in certified laboratories that follow strict safety procedures. Thus, developing deactivated virus constructs or safe-to-use virus-like objects, which imitate real viruses and allow performing virus-related studies in any research laboratory, constitutes an important scientific challenge. One of the groups of such species are the so-called virus-like particles (VLPs). Instead of capsids with viral DNA/RNA, VLPs have synthetic cores with real virus proteins attached to them. We have developed a method for the preparation of VLPs imitating the virus responsible for the COVID-19 disease: the SARS-CoV-2. The particles have Au cores surrounded by "coronas" of S1 domains of the virus's Spike protein. Importantly, they are safe to use and specifically interact with SARS-CoV-2 antibodies. Moreover, Au cores exhibit localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR), which makes the synthesized VLPs suitable for biosensing applications. Within our studies, the effect allowed us to visualize the interaction between the VLPs and the antibodies and identify the characteristic vibrational signals. What is more, additional functionalization of the particles with a fluorescent label revealed their potential in studying specific virus-related interactions. Notably, the universal character of the developed synthesis method makes it potentially applicable for fabricating VLPs imitating other life-threatening viruses.
