Article Abstract

The moiré system provides a tunable platform for investigating exotic quantum phases. Particularly, the displacement field is crucial for tuning the electronic structures and topological properties of twisted double bilayer graphene (TDBG). Here, we present a series of -tunable topological transitions by the evolution of quantum Hall phases (QHPs) in the valence bands of TDBG. As increases, we observe the alternating emergence of two distinct quantum Hall regions originating from full-filling and half-filling, which we attribute to the -induced Lifshitz transition. Moreover, we delve into the remote valence bands of TDBG and observe a transition in the sequence of Landau levels upon the application of , shifting from 8 + 4 to 8. This observation, combined with theoretical calculations, unveils an alteration in the Berry phase. Our findings highlight the TDBG as an exemplary platform for understanding the origin of the topological transitions in the graphene-based moiré systems.

The E76K mutation in protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) SHP2 is a recurrent driver of developmental disorders and cancers, yet the mechanism by which this single-site substitution promotes persistent activation remains elusive. Here, we combine path-based conformational sampling, unbiased molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, Markov state models (MSMs), and neural relational inference (NRI) to elucidate how E76K reshapes the activation landscape and regulatory architecture of SHP2. Using a minimum-action trajectory derived from experimentally determined closed and open structures, we generated representative transition intermediates to guide the unbiased MD simulations.

The design of carbon allotropes that simultaneously exhibit mechanical robustness and quantum functionalities remains a longstanding challenge. Here, we report a comprehensive first-principles study of cT16, a three-dimensional sp-hybridized carbon network with topologically interlinked graphene-like sheets. The structure features high ideal tensile and shear strengths, with pronounced anisotropy arising from strain-induced bond rehybridization and interlayer slipping mechanisms.

This study introduces a novel heuristic phenomenological model for analyzing the evolution of contact areas on rough surface. Contrasting with traditional methods, it employs a cut-off threshold approach to track numerical and topological metrics across different deformation stages. The model quantifies contact area distributions, nested sub-regions, and self-affine parameters, revealing universal trends across scales spanning nanometers to kilometers.

As a versatile platform for exploring exotic quantum phases, moiré superlattices, ranging from twisted graphene to twisted transition metal dichalcogenides, have been intensively studied. In this work, based on exact diagonalization and Hartree-Fock mean-field calculations, the interaction-driven topological phases are investigated in hole-doped twisted bilayer MoS at the high filling factor = 3. Besides the nematic insulator and quantum anomalous Hall phases, the topological Wigner molecule crystal (TWMC) phase is found in the phase diagram.

Amorphous materials with thickness thinned down to the single-layer limit have attracted increasing interest due to their well-defined disorder and emerging unique properties, such as disorder-dominated electronic states, high-density unsaturated coordination, enhanced quantum confinement, These features could enable innovative applications in electronics, photoelectronics, catalysis, and beyond. In this perspective, we provide an overview of recent advances in two-dimensional (2D) amorphous materials approaching the single-layer limit. We first introduce newly-developed key structural descriptors for these systems, including local bonding, topological disorder, and chemical composition.
