Subdiffusive energy transport in a strongly nonlinear ϕ^{4} lattice.

Subdiffusion is argued to be forbidden in a classical homogenous Hamiltonian system due to finiteness of the Poincaré recurrence time. Recently, long-range-interaction-induced subdiffusion has been revealed, which questions the above argument. In this Letter, we study a one-dimensional φ^{4} lattice and present convincing evidence in various aspects that in strong nonlinearity regimes energy transport can be subdiffusive in such a system with neither disorder nor long-range interaction.

TRIM32 promotes anoikis resistance and metastasis in NSCLC by degrading CHEK2 to enhance IL-6 secretion.

Metastasis significantly contributes to the high mortality of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), with anoikis resistance playing a critical role in this process. However, the role of TRIM32 in anoikis resistance and metastasis is not well understood. In this study, we demonstrate that TRIM32 enhances both anoikis resistance and metastasis in NSCLC.

Zirconium-Rich Strategy in Ultrathin HfZrO toward Back-End-of-Line-Compatible Ferroelectric Random Access Memory.

HfO-based ferroelectric devices have garnered lots of attention in embedded memory due to its exceptional complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) compatibility as well as sub-10 nm scalability. Nevertheless, challenges such as double remanent polarization (2P) degradation and thermal budget issues while scaling the HfZrO (HZO) thickness have limited its integration in high-intensity memory and high-speed computing. Here, an effective strategy involving the zirconium-rich layer (Zr-RL) is developed to address this dilemma.

Oxidant-Modulated Synthesis of Polycrystalline MoS on SiO/Si with Near-Single-Crystal Mobility.

MoS, a 2D semiconductor, has emerged as an ideal channel material for transistors in the post-Moore era due to its atomic thickness, high mobility, and excellent gate control capability. The direct growth of 2D MoS films on SiO/Si is crucial for ensuring compatibility with complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) processes while avoiding the damage and defects often associated with transfer processes. However, 2D MoS polycrystalline films grown on SiO/Si suffer from small grain sizes, high grain boundary densities, and poor electrical performance.

Case Report: Buccal shifted flap with palatal "C" shape ridge split to facilitate the palatal bone augmentation without compromising the buccal vestibular depth: Report on three cases.

Due to its dense connective tissue structure, the coronal advancement of the palatal flap is not feasible, making the reconstruction of single-site palatal bone defects particularly challenging. This case report describes the effectiveness and efficacy of an innovative technique combining the buccal shifted flap and palatal "C"-shaped ridge split together during bone augmentation procedures in the posterior maxilla. The described approach not only facilitates obtaining reliable bone regeneration without compromising the vestibular depth, but also surprisingly increases the horizontal contour.
