We investigate infrared line signatures from radiatively decaying sterile-neutrino dark matter using publicly available JWST/NIRSpec IFU blank-sky observations. The main signal considered is the sterile-to-sterile transition $N_1\to N_2γ$, induced by the transition magnetic dipole coefficient $d_{NNγ}$, with $m_1>m_2$…

Large twist angles in twisted bilayer graphene are widely expected to be electronically trivial, with negligible interlayer coupling and no electronic reconstruction, in contrast to the rich moiré-driven band reconstruction and correlated physics that emerge at small twist angles. Here, we show that this paradigm brea…

Spectral imaging provides chemically specific and spatially resolved analysis of microplastics, but its routine application is hindered by large data volumes, acquisition artefacts, spectral variability, and misidentification of polymers due to alike spectra. This study proposes a multi-level preprocessing and modelli…

Single-particle cryo-electron microscopy images a macromolecule as many noisy tomographic projections of its electrostatic potential. We reconstruct the protein backbone directly from such projections, as an atomic point cloud, without the intermediate step of reconstructing the 3D electrostatic potential map. We form…

Abstract Lacuna, an open-source Python tool for discovering cryptic binding pockets: sites that are absent or too small to detect in a protein’s unbound structure and open only during conformational fluctuation. Most binding-site predictors score a single static structure, which is precisely the structure in which a c…

Amorphous materials are disordered solids without long-range structural order, making them useful systems for studying electron transport beyond the crystalline picture. This review discusses how structural disorder changes the spatial character of electron wavefunctions and how these changes govern carrier transport…

ABSTRACT Cantilever‐structured magneto‐mechano‐electric energy harvesters (MME‐EHs) are considered as one of promising candidates for powering Internet of Things (IoT) devices by capturing ambient magnetic fields. However, conventional MME‐EHs with volumes comparable to button cell batteries (≤1 cm 3 ) face a critical…

Rubber modified asphalt (RMA) offers good mechanical performance and promotes waste tire recycling, but high-temperature production can release fumes, hazardous gases, and odorous compounds. Four fume suppression and deodorizing agents (FSDAs), including a flame retardant (ZK), activated carbon (HXT), WQ, and DLK, wer…

The Light-Heavy (LH) model involves two species of particles (light and heavy) coupled with a fluctuating surface (described by tilts). The dynamics include the inherent diffusion of the particles (or tilts) as well as the drive provided by the tilts (or particles). When the two are of similar magnitude, the system li…

The chiral-induced spin selectivity (CISS) effect is generally attributed to spin-selective transport through chiral molecules, while the role of the molecule-electrode interface remains largely unexplored. Here, we show that adsorption of chiral amino acid derived molecules on ferromagnetic Ni thin films generates a…
