We have made the first observation of the nuclear Barnett effect. In the electronic Barnett effect, which was first observed in 1915 by Samuel Barnett, a ferromagnetic rod was spun about its long axis and a magnetization developed in the rod along the axis of rotation. This effect is caused by the coupling between the angular momentum of the electronic spins in the sample and the rotational motion of the rod. In our experiment, we measured the nuclear Barnett effect by rotating a sample of water at rotational speeds up to 13.5 kHz in a weak magnetic field and observed a change in the polarization of the protons in the sample that is proportional to the frequency of rotation. We measured this polarization by observing the change in the size of a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) signal. No NMR frequency shift was observed due to rotation, meaning that this magnetization was not produced by a real magnetic field.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess changes in cardiac [123I]-metaiodobenzylguanidine uptake in individuals with mild cognitive impairment with Lewy bodies (MCI-LB) who initially had normal scans.
- Eight participants underwent follow-up scans 2 to 4 years after their baseline assessments, with all repeat scans also returning normal results.
- Despite normal scans, three participants showed a significant decrease in uptake (over 10%) and the overall mean change in uptake was a decline of 5.2%.

The dynamic three-dimensional (3D) organization of the human genome (the "4D Nucleome") is closely linked to genome function. Here, we integrate a wide variety of genomic data generated by the 4D Nucleome Project to provide a detailed view of human 3D genome organization in widely used embryonic stem cells (H1-hESCs) and immortalized fibroblasts (HFFc6). We provide extensive benchmarking of 3D genome mapping assays and integrate these diverse datasets to annotate spatial genomic features across scales.

The study of magnetic frustration in classical spin systems is motivated by the prediction and discovery of classical spin liquid states. These uncommon magnetic phases are characterized by a massive degeneracy of their ground state implying a finite magnetic entropy at zero temperature. While the classical spin liquid state is originally predicted in the Ising triangular lattice antiferromagnet in 1950, this state has never been experimentally observed in any triangular magnets.

Understanding the relationship between multi-scale processes driving community- and population-level diversity can guide conservation efforts. While the importance of population-level genetic diversity is widely recognized, it is not always assessed for conservation planning, and positive correlations with community-level diversity are sometimes assumed, such that only the latter is measured. We surveyed species richness and cumulative multispecies abundance of crayfishes in impounded and unimpounded streams in the southern Appalachian Mountains (Alabama, USA).
