Article Abstract
Materials possessing multiple states are promising to emulate synaptic and neuronic behaviors. Their operation frequency, typically in or below the GHz range, however, limits the speed of neuromorphic computing. Ultrafast THz electric field excitation has been employed to induce nonequilibrium states of matter, called hidden phases in oxides. One may wonder if there are systems for which THz pulses can generate neuronic and synaptic behavior, via the creation of hidden phases. Using atomistic simulations, we discover that relaxor ferroelectrics can emulate all the key neuronic and memristive synaptic features. Their occurrence originates from the activation of many hidden phases of polarization order, resulting from the response of nanoregions to THz pulses. Such phases further possess different dielectric constants, which is also promising for memcapacitor devices.

Models for polymer dynamics from dimensionality reduction techniques.

Polymer dynamics is analyzed through the lens of linear dimensionality reduction methods, in particular principal and time-lagged independent component analysis (tICA). For a polymer undergoing ideal Rouse dynamics, the slow modes identified by these transformations coincide with the conventional Rouse modes. When applied to the Fourier modes of the segment density, we show that tICA generates dynamics equivalent to dynamic self-consistent field theory (D-SCFT) with a wavevector-dependent Onsager coefficient and a free energy functional subject to the random phase approximation.

Background: In 2015, Tanzania joined the Global Financing Facility (GFF), a global health initiative for Reproductive, Maternal, Newborn, Child, and Adolescent Health and Nutrition (RMNCAH-N). Despite its resource mobilization goals, little is known about power dynamics in GFF policy processes. This paper presents the first power analysis of Tanzania's GFF engagement.

Spinal cord injury (SCI) frequently leads to neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction, for which appropriate bladder management is essential. While clinical care relies on continuous low-pressure drainage in the acute phase, rat models commonly use twice-daily manual bladder expression-a method known to generate high intravesical pressures and retention. This study evaluated the impact of this standard practice on bladder tissue remodeling by comparing it to continuous drainage via high vesicostomy in a rat SCI model.

A high-spin (HS) iron(III) complex, [Fe(qsal)]Cl·MeOH·HO, was synthesised, and its crystal structures and photo-induced magnetic properties were characterised. Upon photo-excitation, the HS state is converted into a low-spin (LS) state, revealing a thermally inaccessible metastable state. This photo-induced spin switching behaviour suggests the presence of a light-accessible hidden phase.

Background: We analyzed the perioperative metabolomic alterations in children undergoing ventricular septal defect (VSD) repair under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), identified evidence of postoperative injury, and explored strategies to mitigate such injuries.
Methods: We conducted an untargeted metabolomic analysis of serum at three distinct time points (preoperative (Tp), immediate postoperative (T0), and 24 h postoperative (T24)) in eight children undergoing VSD repair under CPB. Subsequently, we identified the key enzymes associated with perioperative injury for molecular docking prediction studies.
