We present a parameter estimation technique based on performing joint measurements of a weak interaction away from the weak-value-amplification approximation. Two detectors are used to collect full statistics of the correlations between two weakly entangled degrees of freedom. Without discarding of data, the protocol resembles the anomalous amplification of an imaginary-weak-value-like response. The amplification is induced in the difference signal of both detectors allowing robustness to different sources of technical noise, and offering in addition the advantages of balanced signals for precision metrology. All of the Fisher information about the parameter of interest is collected. A tunable phase controls the strength of the amplification response. We experimentally demonstrate the proposed technique by measuring polarization rotations in a linearly polarized laser pulse. We show that in the presence of technical noise the effective sensitivity and precision of a split detector is increased when compared to a conventional continuous-wave balanced detection technique.

Control of crack propagation is crucial to make tougher heterogeneous materials. As a crack interacts with material heterogeneities, its front distorts and adopts complex tortuous configurations. While the behavior of smooth cracks with straight fronts in homogeneous materials is well understood, the toughening by rough cracks with tortuous fronts in heterogeneous materials remains unsolved.

The anomalous expression of microRNA poses a serious threat to human life and health safety, and serves as an important biomarker for cancer detection. In this study, a novel magnetic-assisted DNA logic gate nanomachine triggered by miRNA-21 and miRNA-155 was designed based on the trans-cleavage activity of CRISPR/Cas12a activated by a split DNA activator, using only a single crRNA and signal probe, which simplified the detection procedure and complex nucleic acid amplification. The presence of target molecules, miRNA-21 and miRNA-155, can stimulate the DNA walker machine assembled on magnetic beads, which releases activator under the action of DNAzyme.

Extrachromosomal circular DNA (eccDNA), a chromosome-independent circular DNA, has garnered significant attention due to its widespread distribution and intricate biogenesis in carcinoma. Existing research findings propose that multiple eccDNAs contribute to drug resistance in cancer treatments through complex and interrelated regulatory mechanisms. The unique structure and genetic properties of eccDNA increase tumor heterogeneity.

Article Synopsis
- Arctic amplification, or the accelerated warming of the Arctic compared to the rest of the world, is heavily influenced by the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC).
- A weakened AMOC could lead to a reduction in Arctic warming by 2 °C by the century's end, primarily due to less sea ice loss and increased ocean heat uptake.
- Seasonal variations affect the impacts of AMOC changes, with the weakened AMOC contributing to cooling at different atmospheric levels and increasing low-level cloud cover, which influences regional temperature patterns despite the overall slight warming trend in the Arctic.
Amplification of the anomalous scaling in the Kazantsev-Kraichnan model with finite-time correlations and spatial parity violation.

By using the field theoretic renormalization group technique together with the operator product expansion, simultaneous influence of the spatial parity violation and finite-time correlations of an electrically conductive turbulent environment on the inertial-range scaling behavior of correlation functions of a passively advected weak magnetic field is investigated within the corresponding generalized Kazantsev-Kraichnan model in the second order of the perturbation theory (in the two-loop approximation). The explicit dependence of the anomalous dimensions of the leading composite operators on the fixed point value of the parameter that controls the presence of finite-time correlations of the turbulent field as well as on the parameter that drives the amount of the spatial parity violation (helicity) in the system is found even in the case with the presence of the large-scale anisotropy. In accordance with the Kolmogorov's local isotropy restoration hypothesis, it is shown that, regardless of the amount of the spatial parity violation, the scaling properties of the model are always driven by the anomalous dimensions of the composite operators near the isotropic shell.
