Interaction Effects and Non-Integer Pseudo-Landau Levels in Engineered Periodically Strained Graphene.

Strain superlattices (SL) in 2D materials like graphene provide an ideal test bed for generating flat bands and exploring the effects of strong correlations. Here we report STM/STS measurements on an engineered SL generated by placing graphene on a periodic array of silica nanospheres. A pseudomagnetic field as high as 55 T is observed along with the formation of pseudo-Landau levels (pLLs), not only at the expected integer values but also at fractional values.

Xanthomonas protegens sp. nov., a novel rice seed-associated bacterium, provides in vivo protection against X. oryzae pv. oryzae, the bacterial leaf blight pathogen.

Historically, Xanthomonas species are primarily known for their pathogenicity against plants, but recently, there have been more findings of non-pathogenic xanthomonads. In the present study, we report isolates from healthy rice seeds that belong to a new species, Xanthomonas protegens, a protector of the rice plants against a serious pathogenic counterpart, i.e.

Impact of intergenerational conflict on young people and interventions to mitigate its effects: a scoping review.

Background: Intergenerational conflicts with parents or grandparents have been shown to have adverse effects on young people. Inevitably these conflicts influence the mental health and well-being of young people.

Aims: The scoping review aimed to identify the extent of existing literature related to intergenerational conflicts in a familial context, including the factors associated with those conflicts and the interventions addressing intergenerational issues.
