Using first-principles calculations based on density functional perturbation theory, we demonstrate hydrogenation-induced superconductivity in monolayer TiB2H. Hydrogen adatoms destroy the Dirac state of monolayer TiB2 and monolayer TiB2H has a high vibration frequency. Monolayer TiB2H is a phonon-mediated superconductor. Monolayer TiB2H has a predicted [Formula: see text] of 8[Formula: see text]K, which further increases under external tensile strain. Thus, this study extends our understanding of superconductivity in two-dimensional (2D) materials and its potential applications.

Gel electrophoresis is a powerful experimental method to probe the topology of DNA and other biopolymers. Although there is a large body of experimental work that allows us to accurately separate different topoisomers of a molecule, a full theoretical understanding of these experiments has not yet been achieved. Here we show that the mobility of DNA knots depends crucially and subtly on the physical properties of the gel and, in particular, on the presence of dangling ends. The topological interactions between these and DNA molecules can be described in terms of an “entanglement number” and yield a nonmonotonic mobility at moderate fields. Consequently, in 2D electrophoresis, gel bands display a characteristic arc pattern; this turns into a straight line when the density of dangling ends vanishes. We also provide a novel framework to accurately predict the shape of such arcs as a function of molecule length and topological complexity, which may be used to inform future experiments.
