Hyperbolic phonon polaritons – mixed states of photons and anisotropic lattice vibrations – offer appealing properties for nanophotonic applications. Here, the authors show that the plasmon-phonon hybridization upon electronic doping in graphene/α-MoO3 heterostructures can induce topological transitions of the polariton wavefront.
Ferromagnet/spacer/ferromagnet sandwiches have been studied extensively, and used in a variety of spintronic devices. Here, Zhou et al. create an all anti-ferromagnetic sandwich of Fe2O3/Cr2O3/Fe2O3, and demonstrate strong orthogonal coupling between the top and bottom Fe2O3 layers.
Electronic waste is a global issue brought about by the short lifespan of electronics. Here, the authors report a process to upcycle compact discs into flexible and stretchable bio-electronics.
The mechanisms underlying mitochondrial quality control are not fully understood. Here the authors identify a switch from degradative to secretory autophagy in the absence of the mATG8-conjugation system, termed Autophagic Secretion of Mitochondria.
Current understanding of Long COVID is limited, in part, due to lack of evidence from population-representative studies. Here, the authors analyse data from ten UK population-based studies and electronic health records, and find wide variation in the frequency of Long COVID between studies but some consistent risk factors.
Half of high-risk neuroblastoma patients have MYCN amplification. Here, the authors show that MYCN induces fatty acid uptake and synthesis to support neuroblastoma and inhibition of a fatty acid transporter impairs tumor progression in preclinical models.
Pregnant individuals infected with SARS-CoV-2 are at high risk of morbidity and mortality, in addition to adverse pregnancy outcomes, yet little is known regarding trimester-specific immunity and maternal protection from COVID-19 vaccine platforms. Authors utilise a systems serology approach to characterise the material antibody response and the transplacental antibody transfer, dependent on vaccine platform and trimester of vaccination.
SHLD1, as a component of the Shieldin (SHLD) complex, mediates DNA repair via non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ), an essential process during lymphocyte development. Here the authors show that SHLD1 is actually dispensable for lymphocyte development and V(D)J recombination, but is essential for class-switching recombination in activated B cells.
Regio- and stereoselective transition-metal catalysed hydrosilylation of terminal allenes to access (E)-allylsilanes are challenging organic transformations. Herein, the authors synthesize (E)-allylsilanes via copper-catalyzed hydrosilylation of terminal allenes.
The lightning's nature is that different-polarity leaders extend in air. Only negative leaders' development was previously associated to floating plasma. We found that the floating plasma could also lead the positive leader stepwise development.
Superconducting diodes, operational at zero magnetic field, can be used in supercomputers. Here, the authors demonstrate prototypes of diodes-with-memory, based on Nb Josephson junctions, with a large and switchable nonreciprocity at zero field.
Harmonic measurements have been used extensively in ferromagnetic/heavy metal heterostructures to characterize the magnetization dynamic; however, it has remained unclear about whether such techniques could be applied to antiferromagnetic devices. Here, Cheng et al demonstrate such a harmonic measurement approach in an antiferromagnet.
CH4 inputs to Arctic lakes via groundwater discharge are an important pathway that links CH4 production in thawing permafrost to emission via lakes. Here the authors unravel the role and drivers of groundwater inflows for CH4 emissions from Arctic lakes.
Long-lasting zinc metal electrodes are crucial in developing commercial zinc-based batteries. Here, the authors investigate the different morphology evolution between the stripping and plating process and propose electrochemical protocols to prolong the lifespan of zinc anodes.
The development of precious-metal-free catalysts to promote the sustainable production of fuels and chemicals from biomass challenging. Here the authors report a unique core-shell structured Co@CoO catalyst which exhibits excellent performance in the hydrogenolysis of biomass-derived compounds.
Somatic cells display phasic gene expression with compartmentalized gene expression during the cell cycle, while pluripotent cells lack phasic expression. Here, the authors describe a pathway linking microRNA regulation of the G1/S restriction point with phasic gene expression and cell differentiation during mammalian development.
The severity of rare genetic diseases often varies between individuals, but small sample sizes make it difficult to identify contributing factors. Here, the authors use biobank-scale clinical and genetic data to investigate a role for common genetic variation.
