A scheme for realizing nonreciprocal interlayer coupling in bilayer topological systems
The exchange of energy and environment is inevitable in any physical system, so non-Hermitian systems that can be described by non-Hermitian Hamiltonians are ubiquitous. There are two kinds of non-Hermitian Hamiltonians, describing nonreciprocal syst.....»»

Socioeconomic status explains most of the racial and ethnic achievement gaps in elementary school
For decades, white students have performed significantly better than Black and Hispanic students on tests of academic achievement. Explanations for these achievement gaps include poverty and systems that result in discrimination. Others cite struggle.....»»
Computational method pinpoints how cause-and-effect relationships ebb and flow over time
A new computational method can identify how cause-and-effect relationships ebb and flow over time in dynamic real-life systems such as the brain......»»
Researchers advocate for new framework to measure sustainable economic growth
The global economy is in transition, with energy systems moving from a central reliance on fossil fuels. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic reshaped consumer behavior, labor markets, and business practices, and geopolitics and war have disrupted long.....»»

Quasiperiodicity changes the ground-state properties of 1D narrow-band moiré systems, study demonstrates
Moiré materials, such as twisted bilayer graphene, are materials generally formed by stacking two or more layers of 2D materials on top of each other with a small lattice mismatch. This slight mismatch creates a unique pattern known as the moiré pa.....»»
Australian dragon study reveals surprising link between motor systems control and sleep rhythms
Sleep is one of the most mysterious, yet ubiquitous components of our biology. It has been described in all major groups of animals, including worms, jellyfish, insects or cephalopods, and in all vertebrates, from fish to humans. Common characteristi.....»»
Controlling skyrmions at room-temperature in 2D topological spin structure technology
The Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science (KRISS) has, for the first time in the world, generated and controlled skyrmions at room temperature in two-dimensional (2D) materials. This achievement reduces power consumption compared to tradi.....»»

“Havard”-trained spa owner injected clients with bogus Botox, prosecutors say
Woman claims to have a degree from "Havard" and be licensed by the "Estate Board." A Massachusetts spa owner has been arrested for what prosecutors describe as a blundering scheme.....»»
How many additional exoplanets are in known systems?
One thing we've learned in recent decades is that exoplanets are surprisingly common. So far, we've confirmed nearly 6,000 planets, and we have evidence for thousands more. Most of these planets were discovered using the transit method. though there.....»»
New modeling of complex biological systems could offer insights into genomic data and other huge datasets
Over the past two decades, new technologies have helped scientists generate a vast amount of biological data. Large-scale experiments in genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and cytometry can produce enormous quantities of data from a given cellula.....»»
A human topological insulator: Researchers use choreographed dance to explain quantum materials
Science can be difficult to explain to the public. In fact, any subfield of science can be difficult to explain to another scientist who studies in a different area. Explaining a theoretical science concept to high school students requires a new way.....»»
Multi-omics approach reveals nanoplastic toxicity in aquatic life
Plastic pollution has become a growing crisis for aquatic environments, with nanoplastics emerging as particularly hazardous due to their minuscule size and broad dispersal. Unlike larger plastic fragments, nanoplastics infiltrate cellular systems an.....»»
Revealing the superconducting limit of twisted bilayer graphene
Graphene is a simple material containing only a single layer of carbon atoms, but when two sheets of it are stacked together and offset at a slight angle, this twisted bilayer material produces numerous intriguing effects, notably superconductivity......»»
