Current-generated spin arising from spin-momentum locking in topological insulator (TI) surface states has been shown to switch the magnetization of an adjacent ferromagnet (FM) via spin-orbit torque (SOT) with a much higher efficiency than heavy metals. However, in such FM/TI heterostructures, most of the current is shunted through the FM metal due to its lower resistance, and recent calculations have also shown that topological surface states can be significantly impacted when interfaced with an FM metal such as Ni and Co. Hence, placing an insulating layer between the TI and FM will not only prevent current shunting, therefore minimizing overall power consumption, but may also help preserve the topological surface states at the interface.

It is commonly believed that the energy bands of typical collinear antiferromagnets (AFs), which have zero net magnetization, are Kramers spin-degenerate. Kramers nondegeneracy is usually associated with a global time-reversal symmetry breaking (e.g.

Full restoration of arm function using a prosthesis remains a grand challenge; however, advances in robotic hardware, surgical interventions, and machine learning are bringing seamless human-machine interfacing closer to reality.Through extensive data logging over 1 year, we monitored at-home use of the dexterous Modular Prosthetic Limb controlled through pattern recognition of electromyography (EMG) by an individual with a transhumeral amputation, targeted muscle reinnervation, and osseointegration (OI).Throughout the study, continuous prosthesis usage increased (1% per week,< 0.

Individuals with upper extremity (UE) amputation abandon prostheses due to challenges with significant device weight-particularly among myoelectric prostheses-and limited device dexterity, durability, and reliability among both myoelectric and body-powered prostheses. The Modular Prosthetic Limb (MPL) system couples an advanced UE prosthesis with a pattern recognition paradigm for intuitive, non-invasive prosthetic control. Pattern recognition accuracy and functional assessment-Box & Blocks (BB), Jebsen-Taylor Hand Function Test (JHFT), and Assessment of Capacity for Myoelectric Control (ACMC)-scores comprised the main outcomes.
