We report on a strategy to indirectly read out the spectrum of an electronic spin via polarization transfer to nuclear spins in its local environment. The nuclear spins are far more abundant and have longer lifetimes, allowing for repeated polarization accumulation in them. Subsequent nuclear interrogation can reveal information about the electronic spectral density of states.

Like any other cell, CD8 T cells also produce extracellular particles. These include extracellular vesicles (EVs) and non-vesicular extracellular particles (NVEPs).

The evolution of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus since its emergence in 2019 has yielded several new viral variants with varied infectivity, disease severity, and antigenicity. Although most mutations are expected to be relatively neutral, mutations at the Spike region of the genome have shown to have a major impact on the viral transmission and infection in humans. Therefore, it is crucial to survey the structures of spike protein across the global virus population to contextualize the rate of therapeutic success against these variants.

In the treatment of a 32-year-old diabetic woman who also had PCOS, single immature oocyte was retrieved.
