External coherent fields can drive quantum materials into nonequilibrium states, revealing exotic properties that are unattainable under equilibrium conditions-an approach known as "Floquet engineering." While optical lasers have commonly been used as the driving fields, recent advancements have introduced nontraditional sources, such as coherent phonon drives. Building on this progress, we demonstrate that driving a metallic quantum nanowire with a coherent wave of terahertz phonons can induce an electronic steady state characterized by a persistent quantized current along the wire.

Background: Various studies have reported on the impact of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines. Here we present the largest population-based investigation of genotype-specific distributions over the decade following implementation of the 4-valent HPV vaccine (HPV6/11/16/18) in the United States.

Methods: Liquid-based cervical cytology samples from individuals aged 15-30 years undergoing cervical screening throughout New Mexico were tested by broad-spectrum HPV genotyping.

Article Synopsis
  • Swales, an economical method for managing roadway runoff, were tested in Raleigh, North Carolina, focusing on design factors like length, shape, and slope to determine their effectiveness against stormwater pollutants.
  • Results showed that longer (30 m) and flatter (1%) trapezoidal swales achieved the best reductions in sediment and heavy metals during smaller storms, although larger storms showed less effectiveness.
  • The study concluded that maximizing swale length, using a trapezoidal design, and maintaining proper vegetation are crucial for optimizing swale performance in pollutant mitigation.

Background: People with cystic fibrosis (pwCF) have barriers to physical activity including exercise intolerance and fatigue. The advent of small molecule cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) modulators have shown great clinical improvements in pwCF; however, the effect of CFTR modulators on exercise perception and participation is unknown. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the administration of CFTR modulators changed the perception and participation in sport and exercise in pwCF.

Background: CFTR modulators are approved for approximately 90% of people with cystic fibrosis in the USA and provide substantial clinical benefit. N1303K (Asn1303Lys), one of the most common class 2 CFTR defects, has not been approved for these therapies by any regulatory agency. Preclinical investigation by our laboratories showed N1303K CFTR activation with elexacaftor-tezacaftor-ivacaftor (ETI).
