Strong electron–phonon coupling in magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene by Chen, C, Nuckolls, KP, Ding, S, Miao, W, Wong, D, Oh, M, Lee, RL, He, S, Peng, C, Pei, D, Li, Y, Hao, C, Yan, H, Xiao, H, Gao, H, Li, Q, Zhang, S, Liu, J, He, L, Watanabe, K, Taniguchi, T, Jozwiak, C, Bostwick, A, Rotenberg, E, Chen, Y

“…Calculations suggest that the formation of these flat-band replicas in superconducting MATBG are attributed to the strong coupling between flat-band electrons and an optical phonon mode at the graphene K point, facilitated by intervalley scattering. These findings, although they do not necessarily put electron–phonon coupling as the main driving force for the superconductivity in MATBG, unravel the electronic structure inherent in superconducting MATBG, thereby providing crucial information for understanding the unusual electronic landscape from which its superconductivity is derived.…”

Revolutionizing treatment for disorders of consciousness: a multidisciplinary review of advancements in deep brain stimulation by Yang, Y, Cao, T, He, S, Wang, L, He, Q, Fan, L, Huang, Y, Zhang, H, Wang, Y, Dang, Y, Wang, N, Chai, X, Wang, D, Jiang, Q, Li, X, Liu, C, Wang, S

Assessing serial recall as a measure of artificial grammar learning by Jenkins, HE, de Graaf, Y, Smith, F, Riches, N, Wilson, B

“…By contrast, ‘processing-based’ tasks can measure learning without requiring conscious reflection, by measuring processes that are facilitated by implicit statistical learning. For example, when multiple stimuli consistently co-occur, it is efficient to ‘chunk’ them into a single cognitive unit, thus reducing working memory demands. …”
