Unveiling the chirality of the quantum anomalous Hall effect by Chen, Hongyu, Jin, Yuanjun, Mohammad Yahyavi, Belopolski, Ilya, Shao, Sen, Hou, Tao, Wang, Naizhou, Hsu, Chia-Hsiu, Zhao, Yilin, Yang, Bo, Ma, Qiong, Yin, Jia-Xin, Xu, Su-Yang, Gao, Weibo, Chang, Guoqing

“…The quantized lδz will also give rise to a unique quantized magnetic circular dichroism effect in the case of resonance absorption. By lδz, we find that the chiral flow-direction of an electron in the QAHE is not explicitly related to the intrinsic spin axis, thereby enabling the spin-momentum-unlocking edge states in an antiferromagnetic QAHE system. …”

Offset-16QAM-based coherent WDM with multi-carrier group detection by Xiang, Meng, Fu, Songnian, Tang, M., Shum, P., Liu, Deming

“…Moreover, 0.5 dB required OSNR penalty at BER=10-3 is obtained given 18 GHz ADC bandwidth. Besides, we find that side carriers suffer from severer performance degradation than the central carrier with limited ADC resolution and only 0.08 dB and 0.2 dB required OSNR penalty at BER=10-3 are secured with 6 bits ADC resolution for central carrier and side carriers, respectively.…”

Predicting Outcomes of Preterm Neonates Post Intraventricular Hemorrhage by Vignolle, Gabriel A., Bauerstätter, Priska, Schönthaler, Silvia, Nöhammer, Christa, Olischar, Monika, Berger, Angelika, Kasprian, Gregor, Langs, Georg, Vierlinger, Klemens, Goeral, Katharina

“…Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) in preterm neonates presents a high risk for developing posthemorrhagic ventricular dilatation (PHVD), a severe complication that can impact survival and long-term outcomes. Early detection of PHVD before clinical onset is crucial for optimizing therapeutic interventions and providing accurate parental counseling. …”

Barnacle cement protein as an efficient bioinspired corrosion inhibitor by Bui, My Hanh, Hiew, Shu Hui, Salim, Teddy, Saw, Wan Geok, Webster, Richard David, Grüber, Gerhard, Mu, Yuguang, Miserez, Ali

“…We reveal that these anti-corrosion properties are linked to the protein’s biophysical properties, namely its strong adsorption to surfaces combined with its interaction with Fe ions released by steel substrates, which forms a stable layer that increases the coating’s impedance and delays corrosion. Our findings highlight the synergistic action of rMrCP20 in preventing corrosion and provide molecular-level guidelines to develop alternative green corrosion inhibitor additives.…”
