Article Abstract

We analyze the phase transition between a symmetric metallic parent state and itinerant altermagnetic order. The underlying mechanism we reveal in our microscopic model of electrons on a Lieb lattice does not involve orbital ordering, but derives from sublattice interference.

The phase transformation of single-element systems is a fundamental natural process with broad implications, yet many aspects remain puzzling despite their simplicity. For instance, transition metals, Tantalum (Ta) and Zirconium (Zr), commonly form body-centred cubic crystals when supercooled. However, according to large-scale computer simulations, their crystallisation rates can differ by over 100 times.

Polymorphic two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) exhibit diverse properties for optoelectronic applications. Here, utilizing phase-engineered MoTe as a prototypical platform, we comprehensively explored its ultrafast and nonlinear optical properties to complete the fundamental framework of phase-dependent optical phenomena in 2D TMDCs. Starting with the phase-selective synthesis of 2H- and 1T'-MoTe with tailored thicknesses, we revealed their distinct photocarrier relaxation mechanisms using intensive power-/temperature-/thickness-dependent transient absorption spectra (TAS).

Background: Prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) causes fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) and is associated with various cognitive and sensory impairments, including olfactory dysfunction. While both genetic and environmental factors contribute to olfactory dysfunction, PAE is considered a significant factor affecting brain development, including the olfactory system. In this study, we investigated the impact of PAE on the developing olfactory bulb (OB), specifically focusing on OB RGCs-radial glial cells that give rise to OB projection neurons.

In most eubacteria the initiator protein DnaA triggers chromosomal replication by forming an initiation complex at the origin of replication and also functions as a transcriptional regulator, coordinating gene expression with cell cycle progression. While DnaA-regulated genes are relatively well characterized in exponentially growing cells, its role in gene regulation during stationary phase remains insufficiently explored. Here, using an aquatic bacterium Caulobacter crescentus as a model, we show that C.

Latent fingermark recovery from beverage containers is an important aspect of forensic investigations, yet the influence of substrate properties and beverage temperatures on fingermark development remains understudied. This exploratory study assessed the development and quality of latent fingermarks on disposable beverage cups made of nonporous plastic and semiporous paper using cyanoacrylate (CA) fuming, under conditions approximating a typical café environment. A total of 255 cups (107 plastic, 148 paper) were collected after participants consumed hot and iced beverages in a controlled classroom setting.
