Quadrupolar Resonance Spectroscopy of Individual Nuclei Using a Room-Temperature Quantum Sensor.

Nuclear quadrupolar resonance (NQR) spectroscopy reveals chemical bonding patterns in materials and molecules through the unique coupling between nuclear spins and local fields. However, traditional NQR techniques require macroscopic ensembles of nuclei to yield a detectable signal, which obscures molecule-to-molecule variations. Solid-state spin qubits, such as the nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in diamond, facilitate the detection and control of individual nuclei through their local magnetic couplings.

A tale of two transfers: characterizing polydimethylsiloxane viscoelastic stamping and heated poly bis-A carbonate transfer of hexagonal boron nitride.

Two-dimensional (2D) materials have many applications ranging from heterostructure electronics to nanofluidics and quantum technology. In order to effectively utilize 2D materials towards these ends, they must be transferred and integrated into complex device geometries. In this report, we investigate two conventional methods for the transfer of 2D materials: viscoelastic stamping with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and a heated transfer with poly bis-A carbonate (PC).

Designing metasurface optical interfaces for solid-state qubits using many-body adjoint shape optimization.

We present a general strategy for the inverse design of metasurfaces composed of elementary shapes. We use it to design a structure that collects and collimates light from nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond. Such metasurfaces constitute scalable optical interfaces for solid-state qubits, enabling efficient photon coupling into optical fibers and eliminating free-space collection optics.

Can criticism lead to constructive dialogue? Reaffirming a novel study.

This letter takes a unique approach to the complex relationship between criticism and constructive dialogue, specifically in response to issues raised by a recent original article publication. While criticism is often viewed negatively, this article uncovers its potential to stimulate meaningful and productive discussions, particularly in novel studies. By examining certain misinterpretations, the article aims to demonstrate how criticism, when approached with openness and respect, can deepen the understanding and appreciation of original works, and inspire future research on lecture playback speeds.

A novel role for the peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase Cyclophilin A in DNA-repair following replication fork stalling via the MRE11-RAD50-NBS1 complex.

Cyclosporin A (CsA) induces DNA double-strand breaks in LIG4 syndrome fibroblasts, specifically upon transit through S-phase. The basis underlying this has not been described. CsA-induced genomic instability may reflect a direct role of Cyclophilin A (CYPA) in DNA repair.
