Macroscopic tunneling probe of Moiré spin textures in twisted CrI.

Various noncollinear spin textures and magnetic phases have been predicted in twisted two-dimensional CrI due to competing ferromagnetic (FM) and antiferromagnetic (AFM) interlayer exchange from moiré stacking-with potential spintronic applications even when the underlying material possesses a negligible Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya or dipole-dipole interaction. Recent measurements have shown evidence of coexisting FM and AFM layer order in small-twist-angle CrI bilayers and double bilayers. Yet, the nature of the magnetic textures remains unresolved and possibilities for their manipulation and electrical readout are unexplored.

Giant X-Ray Circular Dichroism in a Time-Reversal Invariant Antiferromagnet.

X-ray circular dichroism, arising from the contrast in X-ray absorption between opposite photon helicities, serves as a spectroscopic tool to measure the magnetization of ferromagnetic materials and identify the handedness of chiral crystals. Antiferromagnets with crystallographic chirality typically lack X-ray magnetic circular dichroism because of time-reversal symmetry, yet exhibit weak X-ray natural circular dichroism. Here, the observation of giant natural circular dichroism in the Ni L-edge X-ray absorption of NiTeO is reported, a polar and chiral antiferromagnet with effective time-reversal symmetry.

Outcomes of regenerative treatment for over 200 patients with tympanic membrane perforation.

Objective: To evaluate outcomes of a regenerative treatment (RT) for over 200 patients with tympanic membrane perforation (TMP). The RT-TMP method involves a gelatin sponge, basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and fibrin glue.

Methods: The study population included 216 patients and 234 ears (male: female =100:116; age 1-93 years).

Metabolome-wide Mendelian randomization characterizes heterogeneous and shared causal effects of metabolites on human health.

Metabolites are small molecules that are useful for estimating disease risk and elucidating disease biology. Nevertheless, their causal effects on human diseases have not been evaluated comprehensively. We performed two-sample Mendelian randomization to systematically infer the causal effects of 1,099 plasma metabolites measured in 6,136 Finnish men from the METSIM study on risk of 2,099 binary disease endpoints measured in 309,154 Finnish individuals from FinnGen.
