The electrical outputs of single-layer antiferromagnetic memory devices relying on the anisotropic magnetoresistance effect are typically rather small at room temperature. Here we report a new type of antiferromagnetic memory based on the spin phase change in a Mn-Ir binary intermetallic thin film at a composition within the phase boundary between its collinear and noncollinear phases. Via a small piezoelectric strain, the spin structure of this composition-boundary metal is reversibly interconverted, leading to a large nonvolatile room-temperature resistance modulation that is two orders of magnitude greater than the anisotropic magnetoresistance effect for a metal, mimicking the well-established phase change memory from a quantum spin degree of freedom. In addition, this antiferromagnetic spin phase change memory exhibits remarkable time and temperature stabilities, and is robust in a magnetic field high up to 60 T.

Background: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a devastating neurodegenerative disease characterized by oxidative stress and progressive motor neuron degeneration. This study evaluates the potential neuroprotective effects of caffeine in the Wobbler mouse, an established model of ALS.
Methods: Wobbler mice received caffeine supplementation (60 mg/kg/day) via drinking water, and key parameters, including muscle strength, NAD metabolism, oxidative stress, and motor neuron morphology, were assessed at critical disease stages.

Camouflage technology has garnered increasing attention for various applications. With the continuous advancement of detection technologies and the increasing variability of camouflage scenarios, the demand for multispectral dynamic camouflage has been steadily growing. In this work, we present a multispectral dynamic regulator based on phase-changing material vanadium dioxide (VO) that can be dynamically and functional-independently regulated for reflective color and thermal radiation.

Background And Objective: While whole-gland therapies for localized prostate cancer (PCa) offer excellent oncological outcomes, these can impact patients' quality of life (QoL) through serious side effects. Focal therapy using high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) has emerged as a less invasive alternative to preserve QoL. However, data on the psychological impact of HIFU remain rare.

Aims: The phase angle (PhA) derived from a bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). The present study explored the relationship between PhA and the progression of subclinical atherosclerosis in asymptomatic adults.
Methods: Two cross-sectional studies were performed on 15579 participants who underwent carotid ultrasound testing and a BIA as well as 8228 participants who underwent brachial ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) testing and a BIA.

Given that a variety of factors can affect the decomposition process, it can be difficult to determine the post-mortem interval (PMI). The process is highly dependent on microbial activity, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are a by-product of this activity. Given both have been proposed to assist in PMI determination, a deeper understanding of this relationship is needed.
