The epitaxial growth of complex oxides enables the production of high-quality films, yet substrate choice is restricted to certain symmetry and lattice parameters, thereby limiting the technological applications of epitaxial oxides. In comparison, the development of free-standing oxide membranes gives opportunities to create novel heterostructures by nonepitaxial stacking of membranes, opening new possibilities for materials design. Here, we introduce a method for writing, with atomic precision, ionically bonded crystalline materials across the gap between an oxide membrane and a carrier substrate.

Some Med-Peds hospitalists had a disruption in their practice that may affect their board eligibility for the pediatric hospital medicine (PHM) subspecialty exam in 2024. In this editorial, we review the rise of Med-Peds hospitalist careers, the evolution of PHM becoming a subspecialty, and the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on some Med-Peds hospitalists in their quest to become board certified in PHM via the practice pathway.

Therefore, many gNBS initiatives started in different European countries. Screen4Care is a research project, which resulted of a joint effort between the European Union Commission and the European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations.

However, detailed descriptions of the processes of SF/TTA are not fully understood, even in the most well-studied systems. Reports of the photophysics of crystalline rubrene, for example, are often inconsistent.

We developed the Department of Medicine Anti-Racism and Equity Educational Initiative (DARE) to improve internal medicine residency conferences. We trained faculty and residents to serve as coaches to support other faculty in delivering lectures.
