Identifying universal properties of nonequilibrium quantum states is a major challenge in modern physics. A fascinating prediction is that classical hydrodynamics emerges universally in the evolution of any interacting quantum system. We experimentally probed the quantum dynamics of 51 individually controlled ions, realizing a long-range interacting spin chain. By measuring space-time-resolved correlation functions in an infinite temperature state, we observed a whole family of hydrodynamic universality classes, ranging from normal diffusion to anomalous superdiffusion, that are described by Lévy flights. We extracted the transport coefficients of the hydrodynamic theory, reflecting the microscopic properties of the system. Our observations demonstrate the potential for engineered quantum systems to provide key insights into universal properties of nonequilibrium states of quantum matter.

Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) represent a broad group of synthetic chemicals that have raised concerns related to their long-term environmental persistence and potential health risks. Although several efforts have been dedicated to establishing international restrictions on their use, the definition of what qualifies as a PFAS remains a matter of debate among scientists, regulatory agencies, and industry. This article provides a brief overview of the different approaches proposed and adopted to date for identifying and grouping of these pollutants, either based on common structural motifs or on the combination of multiple factors, including functional uses, degradation behavior, physicochemical properties, and toxicity.

Raman spectroscopy has demonstrated significant potential in molecular detection, analysis, and identification, particularly when it adopts single-molecule surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SM-SERS) substrates. A recent SM-SERS scheme incorporates two-fold Raman enhancement mechanisms: the electromagnetic enhancement enabled by a plasmonic nanogap hotspot formed from gold sphere nanoparticles sitting on a gold mirror and the chemical enhancement enabled by a two-dimensional material, WS, inserted into the nanogap. In this work we integrate multiple advanced concepts and techniques to achieve remarkable performance improvements of SM-SERS.

Chiral-specific interaction of light with organic materials is important but typically arises from circular polarization-dependent absorption of specific optical transitions, resulting in narrow effective wavelength ranges. This study presents a scalable and universal concept for broadband circular dichroism (CD) enabled by strained conducting polymer thin films that possess in-plane hyperbolic optical behavior (i.e.

Background: Increased bond strength between aged CAD/CAM (Computer-Aided Design and Computer-Aided Manufacturing) provisional restorative materials is essential for reparability. This study investigated the impact of three different solvents and airborne-particle abrasion on the shear bond strength (SBS) of aged CAD/CAM provisional restorative materials, which are milled PMMA and 3D-printed resin with flowable resin composite.
Methods: 3D-printed resin and milled PMMA (N = 160 per type) were fabricated into cylindrical shapes (5 mm in diameter, 5 mm in height), aged by 5,000 thermocycling cycles, and randomize divided at random into five groups (N = 32) based on surface modification protocols: control; non-surface modification, MEK; application with methyl ethyl ketone, THF; application with tetrahydrofuran, Alc; application with isopropyl alcohol, and APA; airborne-particle abrasion with 50-µm alumina oxide particle.

Radiotherapy (RT) effectiveness is limited by low DNA damage in tumor cells, surrounding tissue harm, and tumor radioresistance with active DNA repair. Herein, we have engineered a two-dimensional nanomaterial consisting of MXene nanosheets at its core, coated with gold nanorods and a cisplatin shell, and further modified with polyvinyl alcohol, referred to as APMP. The APMP exploits its distinctive electronic properties and photothermal effects to augment radiosensitivity and impede DNA damage repair mechanisms.
