We study operation of a new device, the superconducting differential double contour interferometer (DDCI), in the application for the ultrasensitive detection of magnetic flux and for digital read out of the state of the superconducting flux qubit. DDCI consists of two superconducting contours weakly coupled by Josephson junctions. In such a device a change of the critical current, caused by an external magnetic flux or a nearby electric current, happens in a step-like manner when the angular momentum quantum number changes by one in one of the two contours. With a choice of parameters, the DDCI may outperform traditional superconducting quantum interference devices.

In pursuit of high- hydride superconductors, the molecular hydrides have attracted less attention because the hydrogen quasimolecules are usually inactive for superconductivity. Here, we report on the successful synthesis of a novel bismuth hydride superconductor 2/-BiH at pressures around 170-180 GPa. Its structure comprises bismuth atoms and elongated hydrogen molecules with a H-H bond length of 0.

For more than a decade, the unusual distribution of electrons observed in ARPES (angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy) data within the energy range of ~30 meV to ~300 meV below the Fermi level, known as the ARPES energy range, has remained a puzzle in the field of iron-based superconductivity. As the electron-phonon coupling of FeSe/SrTiO is very strong, our investigation is centered on exploring the synergistic interplay between spin-density waves (SDW) and charge-density waves (CDW) with differential phonons at the interface between antiferromagnetic maxima and minima under wave interference. Our analysis reveals that the synergistic energy is proportional to the ARPES energy range, as seen in the comparison between FeSe and FeSe/SrTiO.

Magnetoencephalography (MEG) conventionally operates within high-performance magnetic shields due to the extremely weak magnetic field signals from the measured objects and the narrow dynamic range of the magnetic sensors employed for detection. This limitation results in elevated equipment costs and restricted usage. Additionally, the information obtained from MEG is functional images, and to analyze from which part of the brain the signals are coming, it is necessary to capture morphological images separately.

Article Synopsis
- Flat bands can lead to unique physical properties like superconductivity and many-body effects, and their behavior depends on the quantum metric, which helps distinguish between interesting correlated physics and less significant dangling bonds.
- Geometric structures, such as the kagome lattice, show promise for creating correlated flat bands, though real materials often add complexity, making quantum geometry crucial for understanding band properties.
- Researchers used a soft-chemical process to oxidize Ni-kagome material CsNiS, significantly reducing its resistance, yet it remained insulating without any phase transition, hinting at a mysterious correlated insulating state.

An electrochemical sensor composed of conductive metal-organic framework [Ni(HITP)] and molecular imprinted polymers (MIP) is fabricated to detect dopamine. Ni(HITP) promotes electrons transfer due to the structure of in-plane charge delocalization and layered expansion conjugation. The combination of MIP with Ni(HITP) improves the selectivity and conductivity, exhibiting a wide detection range (0.
