We demonstrate how the individual mirrors of a high-quality Kirkpatrick-Baez (KB) mirror system can be aligned to each other to create an optimally focused beam, through minimizing aberrations in the phase of the ptychographically reconstructed pupil function. Different sources of misalignment and the distinctive phase artifacts they create are presented via experimental results from the alignment of the KB mirrors at the NanoMAX diffraction endstation. The catalog of aberration artifacts can be used to easily identify which parameter requires further tuning in the alignment of any KB mirror system.

Navigating new threats: Prey naïveté in native mammals.
J Anim Ecol

Invasive predators pose a substantial threat to global biodiversity. Native prey species frequently exhibit naïveté to the cues of invasive predators, and this phenomenon may contribute to the disproportionate impact of invasive predators on prey populations. However, not all species exhibit naïveté, which has led to the generation of many hypotheses to explain patterns in prey responses.

Background: The microtubule-associated Tau gene (MAPT) undergoes alternative splicing to produce isoforms with varying combinations of microtubule-binding region (MTBR) repeats (3R, 4R). The MTBR is the predominant region that forms paired helical filaments and neurofibrillary tangles fibrils in disease. Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a mixed Tauopathy containing both 3R and 4R isoforms.

We report spin-polarized scanning tunneling microscopy measurements of an Anderson impurity system in MoS_{2} mirror-twin boundaries, where both the quantum-confined impurity state and the Kondo resonance resulting from the interaction with the substrate are accessible. Using a spin-polarized tip, we observe magnetic-field-induced changes in the peak heights of the Anderson impurity states as well as in the magnetic-field-split Kondo resonance. Quantitative comparison with numerical renormalization group calculations provides evidence of the notable spin polarization of the spin-resolved impurity spectral function under the influence of a magnetic field.

One of the foremost challenges facing Bitcoin, as the most valuable cryptocurrency operating on a proof-of-work mechanism, is its substantial energy consumption and environmental impact. With the expansion of the Bitcoin market, mining has surged in popularity, particularly in countries where energy and monetary costs are comparatively low. This study aims to assess the impact of utilizing renewable energy from a photovoltaic system for Bitcoin mining, simulating a solar power plant with a 50.

Three-dimensional (3D) imaging technology holds immense potential across various high-tech applications; however, current display technologies are hindered by limitations such as restricted viewing angles, cumbersome headgear, and limited multi-user accessibility. To address these challenges, researchers are actively exploring new materials and techniques for 3D imaging. Laser-based volumetric displays (VDs) offer a promising solution; nonetheless, existing screen materials fall short in meeting key requirements for long-term durability, full-color operation, and scalability.
