Edge magnetism in zigzag nanoribbons of monolayer MoS2 has been investigated with both density functional theory and a tight-binding plus Hubbard (TB+) Hamiltonian. Both methods revealed that one band crossing the Fermi level is more strongly influenced by spin polarization than any other bands. This band originates from states localized on the sulfur edge of the nanoribbon. Its dispersion closely resembles that of the energy branch obtained in a linear chain of atoms with first-neighbor interaction. By exploiting this resemblance, a toy model has been designed to study the energetics of different spin configurations of the nanoribbon edge.

Clinical and Radiological Outcomes After Lateral Meniscal Allograft Transplantation Through a Medial Arthrotomy: A Minimum 4-Year Follow-up.
Orthop J Sports Med
January 2025
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, Ohio, USA.
Background: Previous studies have demonstrated that lateral meniscal allograft transplantation (MAT) through medial arthrotomy showed less extrusion than that of the lateral arthrotomy. However, there is a paucity of literature reporting clinical and radiological outcomes after lateral MAT through the medial arthrotomy.
Hypothesis: Lateral MAT through a medial arthrotomy would show significantly improved clinical scores and minimal joint space narrowing compared with preoperative status.
Lanthanide-Germanate Adelite, Co(GeO)(OH) ( = La-Sm), with Edge-Sharing Octahedral Chains of Co Ions: Spin Frustration Expected to Form Cycloids.

A new series of 222 adelite-type Co(GeO)(OH) ( = La-Sm) single crystals were grown by a high-temperature, high-pressure hydrothermal method (650 °C and 100 MPa). Single-crystal diffraction refinements yielded chiral one-dimensional (1D) chains of Co along the axis with an average 2.98 Å separation between Co centers in the [CoO(OH)] ribbon chains.

The ability of a ring-shaped molecule to sustain a global aromatic or antiaromatic ring current when placed in a magnetic field indicates that its electronic wave function is coherently delocalized around its whole circumference. Large molecules that display this behavior are attractive components for molecular electronic devices, but this phenomenon is rare in neutral molecules with circuits of more than 40 π-electrons. Here, we use theoretical methods to investigate how the global ring currents evolve with increasing ring size in cyclic molecular nanobelts built from edge-fused porphyrins.

A novel monomer, 9-bis[4-(2-hydroxyethoxy)phenyl]fluorene di(mercaptopropionate), with a highly refractive index, purity, and excellent UV-curable properties, is synthesized through an optimized Fischer esterification process, reacting 9,9-bis[4-(2-hydroxyethoxy)phenyl]fluorene with 3-mercaptopropionic acid. The structural characterization of this monomer is performed using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, high-performance liquid chromatography, and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. The synthesis conditions are optimized using a design-of-experiments approach.

Purpose Of Review: Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a complex heterogeneous inflammatory disease that affects about one-third of patients with psoriasis. PsA leads to significant physical impairment and reduced quality of life. Therefore, early diagnosis and intervention are critical for improving long-term outcomes.
