^{133}Ba^{+} is illuminated by a laser that is far detuned from optical transitions, and the resulting spontaneous Raman scattering rate is measured. The observed scattering rate is lower than previous theoretical estimates. The majority of the discrepancy is explained by a more accurate treatment of the scattered photon density of states.

This study investigated whether biallelic loss and HRD also occur in primary nonbreast/ovarian tumors that arise in germline carriers.
Methods: A clinically ascertained cohort of carriers with a primary nonbreast/ovarian cancer was identified, including canonical (prostate and pancreatic cancers) and noncanonical (all other) tumor types.
Prostaglandins (PGs), locally acting lipid signals, regulate female reproduction, including oocyte development. However, the cellular mechanisms of PG action remain largely unknown. One cellular target of PG signaling is the nucleolus.

Qubits realized in trapped atomic ions have shown the highest-fidelity two-qubit entangling operations and single-qubit rotations so far. Universal control of trapped ion qubits has been separately demonstrated using tightly focused laser beams or by moving ions with respect to laser beams, but at lower fidelities.
