Exact spectral function of one-dimensional Bose gases.

Exactly solved models provide rigorous understanding of many-body phenomena in strongly correlated systems. In this article, we report a breakthrough in uncovering universal many-body correlated properties of the quantum integrable Lieb-Liniger model. We exactly calculate the dynamical correlation functions by computing the form factors through a newly developed method, by which we are capable of calculating all possible 'relative excitations' over the ground state or a finite temperature state to high precision.

DCAF7 recruits USP2 to facilitate hepatocellular carcinoma progression by suppressing clockophagy-induced ferroptosis.

DDB1- and CUL4-associated factor 7 (DCAF7) has recently been identified as a critical regulator of tumorigenesis and a potential modulator of ferroptosis. However, the precise function of DCAF7 in regulating the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) ferroptosis remains elusive. In this study, we demonstrate that DCAF7 and the deubiquitinase USP2 are highly expressed in HCC.

Coupling microbial electrolytic circuit in a microbial electrochemical transistor to amplify extracellular electron signals for rapid BOM detection.

Acquiring weak electron signals from electroactive bacteria is critical for biosensing, wastewater treatment, and life science applications. However, current microbial electrochemical techniques are inefficient in capturing these signals at microscale. While organic electrochemical transistors can amplify signals exponentially, they lack an effective cathodic reaction to sustain electroactive bacterial dominant communities.

Anode-Protective Covalent Organic Framework Layer with Synergistic Cation-Anion Regulation for Dendrite-Free Lithium Metal Batteries.

Lithium (Li) dendrite formation in Li metal batteries intrinsically challenges Coulombic efficiency (CE) and safety. While constructing an anode protective layer offers a potential solution for dendrite suppression, existing approaches are limited by insufficient molecular-level control over both Li and anion dynamics simultaneously. Herein, we construct a binary cooperative magnesium porphyrin-based covalent organic framework (Mg-Por-COF) protective layer designed for synergetic cation-anion regulation at the anode-electrolyte interface.

Electrical manipulation of spin splitting torque in altermagnetic RuO.

Due to nonrelativistic altermagnetic spin splitting effect (ASSE), altermagnets can generate time-reversal-odd spin current and spin splitting torque (SST) with spin polarization parallel to the Néel vector. Hence the effective manipulation of SST would provide plenty of opportunities for designable spintronic devices. Here, we achieve electrical control of SST in altermagnetic RuO, based on controllable Néel vector of RuO and Néel vector-dependent generation of SST.
