Modulation of spin-orbit torque efficiency by thickness control of heavy metal layers in Co/Pt multilayers by Sethi, Pankaj, Krishnia, Sachin, Li, Sihua, Lew, Wen Siang

“…Doubling the Pt spacer layer thickness reduces the SHA by nearly 1.4 times, due to partial cancellation of SOT by bottom layer Pt, negating the increase from the top Co/Pt interface. …”

Coherent perfect absorption in deeply subwavelength films in the single-photon regime by Roger, Thomas, Vezzoli, Stefano, Bolduc, Eliot, Valente, Joao, Heitz, Julius J. F., Jeffers, John, Soci, Cesare, Leach, Jonathan, Couteau, Christophe, Zheludev, Nikolay I., Faccio, Daniele

“…We show that while the absorption of photons from a travelling wave is probabilistic, standing wave absorption can be observed deterministically, with nearly unitary probability of coupling a photon into a mode of the material, for example, a localized plasmon when this is a metamaterial excited at the plasmon resonance. …”

Annual budgets and rolling budgets use in UK and Australian firms by Bhimani, A, Sivabalan, P, Soonawalla, K, Wakefield, J

“…We find that despite concerns about its applicability, the annual budget overwhelmingly remains a critical planning and control tool, but functions as a performance evaluation tool to a lesser extent. Nearly a third of firms use rolling budgets, for various reasons including planning and control, aligning with annual budgets. …”

Deep mutation, insertion and deletion scanning across the Enterovirus A proteome reveals constraints shaping viral evolution by Bakhache, W, Symonds-Orr, W, McCormick, L, Dolan, PT

“…We engineered approximately 45,000 insertions, 6,000 deletions and 41,000 amino acid substitutions across the nearly 2,200 coding positions of the Enterovirus A71 proteome, quantifying their effects on viral fitness by population sequencing. …”

Cognitive Effects of Simulated Galactic Cosmic Radiation Are Mediated by ApoE Status, Sex, and Environment in APP Knock-In Mice by Wieg, Laura, Ciola, Jason C., Wasén, Caroline C., Gaba, Fidelia, Colletti, Brianna R., Schroeder, Maren K., Hinshaw, Robert G., Ekwudo, Millicent N., Holtzman, David M., Saito, Takashi, Sasaguri, Hiroki, Saido, Takaomi C., Cox, Laura M., Lemere, Cynthia A.

“…Here, we investigated the central nervous system (CNS) effects of 0 Gy (sham) or 0.75 Gy five-ion GCRsim or 2 Gy gamma radiation (IRR) in 14-month-old female and male APP^NL-F/NL-F knock-in (KI) mice bearing humanized ApoE3 or ApoE4 (APP;E3F and APP;E4F). …”

Search for top squark pair production in a final state with at least one hadronically decaying tau lepton in proton-proton collisions at √𝑠 = 13 TeV by Tumasyan, A., Adam, W., Andrejkovic, J. W., Bergauer, T., Chatterjee, S., Damanakis, K., Dragicevic, M., Escalante Del Valle, A., Hussain, P. S., Jeitler, M., Krammer, N., Lechner, L., Liko, D., Mikulec, I., Paulitsch, P., Schieck, J., Schöfbeck, R.

“…The results probe top squark masses up to 1150 GeV for a nearly massless neutralino. This search covers a relatively less explored parameter space in the context of supersymmetry, and the exclusion limit is the most stringent to date for the model considered here.…”

Engineering bunched Pt-Ni alloy nanocages for efficient oxygen reduction in practical fuel cells by Tian, Xinlong, Zhao, Xiao, Su, Ya-Qiong, Wang, Lijuan, Wang, Hongming, Dang, Dai, Chi, Bin, Liu, Hongfang, Hensen, Emiel J. M., Lou, David Xiong Wen, Xia, Bao Yu

“…We report one-dimensional bunched platinum-nickel (Pt-Ni) alloy nanocages with a Pt-skin structure for the oxygen reduction reaction that display high mass activity (3.52 amperes per milligram platinum) and specific activity (5.16 milliamperes per square centimeter platinum), or nearly 17 and 14 times higher as compared with a commercial platinum on carbon (Pt/C) catalyst. …”
