Excitons at the phase transition of 2D hybrid perovskites by Ziegler, JD, Lin, K-Q, Meisinger, B, Zhu, X, Kober-Czerny, M, Nayak, PK, Vona, C, Taniguchi, T, Watanabe, K, Draxl, C, Snaith, HJ, Lupton, JM, Egger, DA, Chernikov, A

“…Here, we study the influence of the phase transition on both exciton binding energy and exciton diffusion, demonstrating their robust nature across the phase transition. These findings are unexpected in view of the associated substantial changes of the free carrier masses, strongly contrast broadly considered effective mass and drift-diffusion transport mechanisms, highlighting the unusual nature of excitons in 2D perovskites.…”

Purging to transform the post-colonial state: evidence from the 1952 Egyptian Revolution by Ketchley, N, Wenig, G

“…Qualitative triangulation with biographies, memoirs, newspaper reports, and speeches corroborates the mechanism. The findings show why radical state-led change often requires a degree of elite-level continuity.…”

Contributions of age groups and causes of death to the sex gap in lifespan variation in Europe by Zazueta-Borboa, J-D, Aburto, JM, Permanyer, I, Zarulli, V, Janssen, F

“…Sex differences in lifespan variation are attributable largely to higher external mortality among males aged 30–39, whereas sex differences in life expectancy are due predominantly to higher smoking-related and cardiovascular disease mortality among males aged 60–69. The distinct findings for the sex gap in lifespan variation and the sex gap in life expectancy provide additional insights into the survival differences between the sexes.…”

Rescaling geoeconomics: the role of local illicit authority in global megaprojects by Idler, A, Voyvodic Casabo, C

“…The study demonstrates how geoeconomic ambitions, such as regional or global influence and energy security, depend on negotiating with local actors in contested territories. The findings reveal the blurred boundaries between domestic and international authority in these regions and suggest that megaprojects must account for multi-scalar authority dynamics. …”

Climate change and news audiences report 2024: analysis of news use and attitudes in eight countries by Ejaz, W, Mukherjee, M, Fletcher, R

“…By connecting three years of data, it underscores the critical role of media in shaping engagement and identifies opportunities for more effective communication. These findings offer valuable insights into evolving public attitudes and the media’s role in addressing the climate crisis.…”

Flaviviruses induce ER-specific remodelling of protein synthesis by Wong, HH, Crudgington, DRK, Siu, L, Sanyal, S

“…Viral proteins engage SRP54 and the translocon, selectively enriching for factors supporting membrane expansion and lipid metabolism while excluding RNA binding and antiviral stress granule proteins. Our findings reveal a sophisticated viral strategy to rewire host protein synthesis pathways and create a replication-favourable subcellular niche, providing insights into viral adaptation.…”

Cerebellar-driven cortical dynamics can enable task acquisition, switching and consolidation by Pemberton, J, Chadderton, P, Costa, RP

“…Finally, using our model, we introduce a systems consolidation theory in which task information is gradually transferred from the cerebellum to the cortex. In summary, our findings suggest that cortico-cerebellar loops are an important component of task acquisition, switching, and consolidation in the brain.…”

Simulation of national-scale groundwater dynamics in geologically complex aquifer systems: an example from Great Britain by Bianchi, M, Scheidegger, J, Hughes, A, Jackson, C, Lee, J, Lewis, M, Mansour, M, Newell, A, O’Dochartaigh, B, Patton, A, Dadson, S

“…Notwithstanding the challenges of integrating a very large amount of data, finding a trade-off between computational efficiency and realism, performing automatic calibration, and addressing multiple sources of structural and parameter uncertainty, a quantitative–qualitive evaluation approach showed that the BGWM provides a reasonably accurate digital representation of groundwater systems and processes at a national scale. …”

Cardiac conduction system regeneration prevents arrhythmias after myocardial infarction by Sayers, JR, Martinez-Navarro, H, Sun, X, de Villiers, C, Sigal, S, Weinberger, M, Rodriguez, CC, Riebel, LL, Berg, LA, Camps, J, Herring, N, Rodriguez, B, Sauka-Spengler, T, Riley, PR

“…Modeling in the infarcted human heart implicated the non-regenerative phenotype as causative for heart block, as observed in patients. These findings elucidate the mechanisms underpinning conduction system regeneration and reveal how MI-induced damage elicits clinical arrhythmogenesis.…”

The king of fruits by Thorogood, CJ, Ghazalli, MN, Siti‐Munirah, MY, Nikong, D, Kusuma, YWC, Sudarmono, S, Witono, JR

“…Here we review recent findings in the genus with a focus on Malaysia and Indonesia. …”

A multimodal multidomain multilingual medical foundation model for zero shot clinical diagnosis by Liu, F, Li, Z, Yin, Q, Huang, J, Luo, J, Thakur, A, Branson, K, Schwab, P, Yin, B, Wu, X, Zheng, Y, Clifton, DA

“…Typically, clinical diagnosis using radiology images involves disease reporting and classification, where the former is a multimodal task whereby textual reports are generated to describe clinical findings in images, as are common in various domains, e.g., chest X-ray or computed tomography. …”

How shared suffering bonded Britons witnessing the Queen’s funeral by White, C, Morales, D, Xygalatas, D, Hernu, M, Mathiassen, A, Ainsworth, A, Geraty, M, Bayindir, N, Robinson, B, Whitehouse, H

“…Also consistent with our hypotheses, feelings of unity in grief and emotional sharedness during the event mediated the relationship between sadness intensity and pro-group commitment. These findings shed light on importance of collective rituals in fostering group cohesion, cooperation, and the dynamics of shared emotional experiences within communities.…”

Vertex model with internal dissipation enables sustained flows by Rozman, J, Chaithanya, K, Yeomans, JM, Sknepnek, R

“…We demonstrate sustained flow in epithelial sheets confined to a channel, providing a link between the cell-level vertex model of tissue dynamics and continuum active nematics, whose behaviour in a channel is theoretically understood and experimentally realisable. Our findings also show a simple mechanism that could account for collective cell migration correlated over distances large compared to the cell size, as observed during morphogenesis.…”
