Tunable quantum interferometer for correlated moiré electrons.

Magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene can host a variety of gate-tunable correlated states - including superconducting and correlated insulator states. Recently, junction-based superconducting moiré devices have been introduced, enabling the study of the charge, spin and orbital nature of superconductivity, as well as the coherence of moiré electrons in magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene. Complementary fundamental coherence effects-in particular, the Little-Parks effect in a superconducting ring and the Aharonov-Bohm effect in a normally conducting ring - have not yet been reported in moiré devices.

Influence of juvenile wood proportion on density and modulus of elasticity in softwood boards for structural use: a preliminary study.

Juvenile wood (JW) can influence the performance of structural boards since it presents lower physical and mechanical properties. This study aimed evaluate the influence of JW proportion on density and modulus of elasticity (MOE) on boards for structural use. Pinus taeda logs 30 years old, had growth rings manually counted (on the pith to bark direction), and the first six rings were painted with color red (0-6), followed by blue (6.

A tunable monolithic SQUID in twisted bilayer graphene.

Magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene (MATBG) hosts a number of correlated states of matter that can be tuned by electrostatic doping. Transport and scanning-probe experiments have shown evidence for band, correlated and Chern insulators along with superconductivity. This variety of in situ tunable states has allowed for the realization of tunable Josephson junctions.

Gate-Defined Electron Interferometer in Bilayer Graphene.

We present an electron interferometer defined purely by electrostatic gating in an encapsulated bilayer graphene. This minimizes possible sample degradation introduced by conventional etching methods when preparing quantum devices. The device quality is demonstrated by observing Aharonov-Bohm (AB) oscillations with a period of /, /2, /3, and /4, witnessing a coherence length of many microns.

Sludge Fiber Waste and Kraft Lignin Powder as Fillers in Polylactic Acid Biocomposites: Physical, Mechanical, and Thermal Properties.

In this investigation, sludge fibre waste (SFW) and Kraft lignin powder (KLP) are introduced into polylactic acid (PLA) matrix biocomposites. These alternative materials allow for both the reuse of fibre waste from paper mill sludge and a reduction in the amount of high-cost biopolymer used in the same volume. Proportions from 10 to 40 wt.
