Dynamics of a self-interacting sheet in shear flow by Funkenbusch, William T., Silmore, Kevin S., Doyle, Patrick S.

“…Here, we extend previous work by Silmore et al., Soft Matter, 2021, 17(18), 4707–4718 by adding short-ranged Lennard–Jones interactions to 2D sheets in shear flow. We find that the addition of these interactions allows for a rich landscape of conformations which depend on the balance between shear strength, bending rigidity, and interaction strength as well as the initial configuration of the sheet. …”

Repulsive Casimir effect in Chern insulators by Tiang, Bi Hong

“…In this work, we investigate the possibility of achieving the repulsive Casimir effect between two identical Chern insulators in two directions, i.e. (i) small finite (non- zero) temperature effect on Casimir–Lifshitz interaction between 2D Chern Insulators with Chern number C = 1 and (ii) the zero temperature Casimir interaction between 2D Chern Insulators with higher Chern number C = 3, 4, 8. …”

Phononic real Chern insulator with protected corner modes in graphynes by Zhu, Jiaojiao, Wu, Weikang, Zhao, Jianzhou, Chen, Cong, Wang, Qianqian, Sheng, Xianlei, Zhang, Lifa, Zhao, Yuxin, Yang, Shengyuan A.

“…By using first-principle calculations and topology/symmetry analysis, we find that phonons in both graphdiyne and $\gamma$-graphyne exhibit a second-order topology, which belongs to the specific case known as real Chern insulator. We identify the nontrivial phononic band gaps, which are characterized by nontrivial real Chern numbers enabled by the spacetime inversion symmetry. …”

Mary Wollstonecraft : a feminist and/or misogynist of her time? by Ong, Charissa Xiu Ling.

“…This paper attempts to determine if Mary Wollstonecraft should be considered as a feminist or misogynist in her time by analyzing three of her writings – A Vindication of the Rights of Woman (Rights; 1792), The Wrongs of Woman (Wrongs; 1798) and, The Collected Letters of Mary Wollstonecraft (Letters). …”

Reversing the stereoselectivity of a palladium-catalyzed O-glycosylation through an inner-sphere or outer-sphere pathway by Xiang, Shaohua, Hoang, Kim Le Mai, He, Jingxi, Tan, Yu Jia, Liu, Xue-Wei

“…The stereochemistry of the anomeric center derives from either an inner-sphere or outer-sphere pathway. Harder nucleophiles, such as aliphatic alcohols and sodium phenoxides give β-products, and α products result from using softer nucleophiles, such as phenol.…”

Canonical Diffeomorphisms of Manifolds Near Spheres by Wang, Bing, Zhao, Xinrui

“…Abstract For a given Riemannian manifold $$(M^n, g)$$ ( M n , g ) which is near standard sphere $$(S^n, g_{round})$$ ( S n , g round ) in the Gromov–Hausdorff topology and satisfies $$Rc \ge n-1$$ R c ≥ n - 1 , it is known by Cheeger–Colding theory that M is diffeomorphic to $$S^n$$ S n . …”
