Controlled alignment of supermoiré lattice in double-aligned graphene heterostructures.

The supermoiré lattice, built by stacking two moiré patterns, provides a platform for creating flat mini-bands and studying electron correlations. An ultimate challenge in assembling a graphene supermoiré lattice is in the deterministic control of its rotational alignment, which is made highly aleatory due to the random nature of the edge chirality and crystal symmetry. Employing the so-called "golden rule of three", here we present an experimental strategy to overcome this challenge and realize the controlled alignment of double-aligned hBN/graphene/hBN supermoiré lattice, where the twist angles between graphene and top/bottom hBN are both close to zero.

Comparison of recovery times by using bispectral index monitoring versus end-tidal agent concentration monitoring in patients undergoing inhalational general anaesthesia.

Background And Aims: End-tidal anaesthetic gas concentration (ETAG) and bispectral index (BIS) are both used to monitor depth of anaesthesia. Maintaining an accurate depth of anaesthesia helps in early post-operative recovery. This study compared the recovery times from sevoflurane-nitrous oxide anaesthesia using ETAG monitoring with BIS monitoring.

Active Ultrahigh-Q (0.2 × 10 ) THz Topological Cavities on a Chip.

Rapid scaling of semiconductor devices has led to an increase in the number of processor cores and integrated functionalities onto a single chip to support the growing demands of high-speed and large-volume consumer electronics. To meet this burgeoning demand, an improved interconnect capacity in terms of bandwidth density and active tunability is required for enhanced throughput and energy efficiency. Low-loss terahertz silicon interconnects with larger bandwidth offer a solution for the existing inter-/intrachip bandwidth density and energy-efficiency bottleneck.

Safe Delivery of Surgical Care in Head and Neck Cancer Patients During COVID-19-an Audit of Pattern of Presentation and Treatment Strategies in an Oncology Centre in the Northern India.

Delay in treatment of head and neck cancer leads to stage migration and increased morbidity. Due to the COVID-19, surgical care has been severely affected. We continued our oncology services during the pandemic.

Electrically pumped topological laser with valley edge modes.

Quantum cascade lasers are compact, electrically pumped light sources in the technologically important mid-infrared and terahertz region of the electromagnetic spectrum. Recently, the concept of topology has been expanded from condensed matter physics into photonics, giving rise to a new type of lasing using topologically protected photonic modes that can efficiently bypass corners and defects. Previous demonstrations of topological lasers have required an external laser source for optical pumping and have operated in the conventional optical frequency regime.
