A ten-year drive to credit authors for their work — and why there’s still more to do
A decade ago, we and others launched a tool for clarifying the roles of each author of a…
Ultra high-Q tunable microring resonators enabled by slow light
Slow light-induced linewidth narrowing The maximum achievable Q-factor (Q = ωc/κ) of resonators is primarily constrained by intrinsic loss mechanisms…
vast genetic diversity found between cells in a single person
Human chromosomes (artificially coloured) vary widely from cell to cell, according to an investigation of the DNA in…
This AI combo could unlock human-level intelligence
Will computers ever match or surpass human-level intelligence — and, if so, how? When the Association for the…
Bichromatic moiré superlattices for tunable quadrupolar trions and correlated states
Structures of R- and H-stacked WSe2/WS2/WSe2 heterotrilayers We fabricated dual-gate WSe2/WS2/WSe2 heterotrilayer devices, which allow independent control of…
A skin-permeable polymer for non-invasive transdermal insulin delivery
Cell lines and animals The HaCat, mouse hepatoma (AML-12), mouse embryonic fibroblast (3T3-L1) and mouse skeletal muscle (MSMC)…
Widely tunable and narrow-linewidth violet lasers enabled by UV-transparent materials
Ludlow, A. D., Boyd, M. M., Ye, J., Peik, E. & Schmidt, P. O. Optical atomic clocks. Rev.…
how researchers harness pee and poo for science
As Mathilde Poyet ushers me through the Global Microbiome Conservancy’s laboratory in Kiel, Germany, I’m met with all…
Electric field-tunable ferromagnetism in a van der Waals semiconductor up to room temperature
Our density-functional theory (DFT) suggests that BP intercalated with a few percent of Co (See schematics in Fig. 1a)…
Fermi polarons under strain-induced pseudomagnetic fields
Pseudospin in strained TMDs The spatial symmetry of TMDs dictates that a linearly polarized photon in a state…
