Researchers have discovered a new material that exhibits both charge density wave and topological metal properties, featuring Weyl points and immense chiral charges. The discovery reveals an intimate connection between topology and electron correlations, opening up avenues for observing axion electrodynamics in condensed matter systems.
Researchers have engineered a new-to-nature metabolic connection, the TaCo pathway, which fixes CO2 instead of releasing it in photorespiration. This synthetic pathway is more energy-efficient than any other proposed alternative, with potential applications in improving crop yield and recycling polyethylene terephthalate (PET).
Researchers developed a new mRNA delivery platform using ZIF-8 nanoparticles that exhibit high mRNA loading capacity, successful endosomal escape, and synergistic GSH depletion. This approach upregulates mRNA translation and improves delivery efficiency compared to existing methods.
Researchers at Tokyo Metropolitan University have designed a new superconductor using high entropy alloys, preserving zero resistivity under extreme pressures. The new compound, Co0.2 Ni0.1 Cu0.1 Rh0.3 Ir0.3 Zr2, has a superconducting transition at 8K, offering a relatively high temperature for an HEA-type superconductor.
Researchers at Hunan University and Clemson University have developed a new type of electrode material inspired by biological cells. The material, called biomimetic carbon cells, improves the cycling stability of potassium-ion batteries and allows for longer continuous operation.
Researchers combined psychiatric assessments with machine learning models to predict mental illness, improving disease course prediction and intervention timing. The algorithm assists decision-making and provides recommendations for targeted interventions.
