Solid-state nanopores offer unique possibilities for biomolecule sensing; however, scalable production of sub-5 nm pores with precise diameter control remains a manufacturing challenge. In this work, we developed a scalable method to fabricate sub-5 nm nanopores in silicon (Si) nanomembranes through metal-assisted chemical etching (MACE) using gold nanoparticles. Notably, we present a previously unreported self-limiting effect that enables sub-5 nm nanopore formation from both 10 and 40 nm nanoparticles in the 12 nm thick monocrystalline device layer of a silicon-on-insulator substrate.

The fish species has an interesting B chromosome system, with three morphological types as acrocentric, metacentric, and submetacentric. However, most cytogenetic studies on this species are restricted to the natural population of the Mogi Guaçu River. Given this, the present work aimed to study the structure karyotypic profile as well as the occurrence of supernumeraries in in several localities in the Paraná River basin, where this species is abundant.

Plastic pollution, particularly microplastics (MPs), poses a significant global threat to ecosystems and human health, necessitating innovative remediation strategies. Biocompatible and biodegradable plastic-binding peptides (PBPs) offer a potential solution through targeted adsorption and subsequent MP detection or removal from the environment. A challenge in discovering plastic-binding peptides is the vast combinatorial space of possible peptides (, over 10 for 12-mer peptides), which far exceeds the sample sizes typically reachable by experiments or biophysics-based computational methods.

The interplay of electronic charge, spin, and orbital currents, coherently driven by picosecond long oscillations of light fields in spin-orbit coupled systems, is the foundation of emerging terahertz lightwave spintronics and orbitronics. The essential rules for how terahertz fields interact with these systems in a nonlinear way are still not understood. In this work, we demonstrate a universally applicable electronic nonlinearity originating from spin-orbit interactions in conducting materials, wherein the interplay of light-induced spin and orbital textures manifests.
