Our #DNA holds the instructions for making proteins, which are essential for the body to function.

To use these instructions, a molecular machine called RNA polymerase (RNAP) copies the relevant section of DNA 🧬 into a short-lived copy called messenger RNA (mRNA). This mRNA carries the instructions to another molecular machine, the ribosome.

In bacteria, these two steps happen at the same time, allowing RNAP and the ribosome to cooperate and regulate each other.

A team led by Albert Weixlbaumer at the IGBMC in Strasbourg, France, wanted to know how bacterial ribosomes are recruited to mRNAs, while they are still transcribed by RNAP.

Using cryo-electron microscopy (#cryoem), they visualised for the first time how mRNA is delivered to the ribosome to begin production of proteins. They solved 9 of the structures using the ESRF’s cryo-EM.

The results are published in Science Magazine.

The first experimental results from the new High-Power Laser Facility (#HPLF) at the ESRF show how iron behaves under conditions close to the core.

The research helps refine models of the Earth’s core's behaviour. That’s because HPLF is optimised for this type of X-ray absorption experiment, which enabled the team to simultaneously track temperature alongside changes in the local order of iron.

The findings rule out a transition in iron’s lattice structure to a high-temperature bcc (body-centred cubic) phase, which is observed in some other metals under shock compression such as copper and gold.

Instead, iron remains in the denser hcp (hexagonal close-packed) phase. The results may interest astrophysicists searching for exoplanets, given the importance of the core in generating a geomagnetic field and driving plate tectonics – both of which are key to supporting habitable conditions on Earth 🌍.

“This first science experiment is a real success and demonstrates the unique capabilities of the HPLF. It is very promising given the facility has much improved since this experiment,” says Jean-Alexis Hernandez, responsible for dynamic compression experiments on HPLF.

They are published in Physical Review Letters.

Lithium-ion batteries 🔋 are widely used in many everyday appliances for their high energy density and efficiency, but face challenges that impact their performance: limited lifespan, safety concerns such as overheating or overcharging, charging speed, scalability for large applications, cost or recycling possibilities.

Investigating cathode materials and its structural evolution during battery operation is paramount for enabling the development of more performant, efficient and reliable energy storage systems.

#Highvoltage cathodes are considered the future for Li-ion batteries. Now researchers led by the ESRF and Commissariat a l'Energie Atomique et aux Energies Alternatives have discovered how single crystals degrade (or not) over time and use.

The research is out now in Advanced Energy Materials.
