Article Synopsis
- The study investigates CP symmetry violation in the decay of D^{+} particles into K^{-}K^{+}π^{+} using data from proton-proton collisions at a high energy of 13 TeV.
- A unique model-independent method was employed to analyze the phase-space distributions of D^{+} and D^{-} particles, correcting for any instrumental biases using D_{s}^{+} decays.
- The findings indicate no significant evidence of CP violation, with a p value of 8.1%, and measure specific CP asymmetry observables, marking this study as the most sensitive search of its kind in multibody decays.
Long AT repeat tracts form non-B DNA structures that stall DNA replication and cause chromosomal breakage. AT repeats are abundant in human common fragile sites (CFSs), genomic regions that undergo breakage under replication stress. Using an in vivo yeast model system containing AT-rich repetitive elements from human CFS FRA16D, we find that DNA polymerase zeta (Pol ζ) is required to prevent breakage and subsequent deletions at hairpin and cruciform forming (AT/TA)n sequences, with little to no role at an (A/T)28 repeat or a control non-structure forming sequence.

Here we address the challenge of downscaling halide perovskite-based artificial synapses to achieve low energy consumption and allow high-density integration. We fabricate halide perovskite artificial synapses in a back-contacted architecture to achieve microscale devices despite the high solubility of halide perovskites in polar solvents that are commonly used in lithography.

To characterize mobile ions in the perovskite layer, time- and frequency-based electrical measurements are promising techniques. However, the presence of transport layers complicates their interpretation, limiting the information about mobile ions that can be extracted, and it is not clear how different features in frequency- and time-domain measurements relate to mobile ions.
