We have studied the magnetic moments of artificial spin ice arrays of nanomagnets in both undistorted square arrays and in arrays with a topological defect induced by a single disclination. We confirm that the disclination induces global, macroscopic changes in the low-energy collective states of the nanomagnet moment configuration. Specifically, the disclination leads to Faraday lines of effective magnetic flux that run from the center all the way to the edge of the arrays. Moreover, the geometric deformation, induced by the topological defect, curves the geometry such that these Faraday lines are channeled preferentially by the arrays' curved geometry. Our results demonstrate how the intentional combination of topology and geometry can be designed to control magnetic charges and the flow of local magnetization and thus manipulate associated collective excitations.

Purpose: To establish an ultra-high dose-rate (UHDR) radiation system using a synchrotron proton beam accelerator and to compare the effects by irradiation positions on cultured cells and chick embryos.
Methods And Materials: Protons for UHDR were obtained by applying high-frequency power at much higher levels than usual to extract all protons within approximately 50 ms. Subsequently, monitoring with a Faraday cup was performed immediately after synchrotron extraction and the waveform was adjusted accordingly.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that currently lacks effective therapy. Given the heterogeneity of clinical and molecular profiles of ALS patients, personalized diagnostics and pathological characterization represent a powerful strategy to optimize patient stratification, thereby enabling personalized treatment. Immortalized lymphocytes from sporadic and genetic ALS patients recapitulate some pathological hallmarks of the disease, facilitating the fundamental task of drug screening.

Article Synopsis
- The pair distribution function (PDF) is essential for analyzing the structure of complex materials, but different models can yield the same PDFs.
- This paper explores using model likelihoods to differentiate between these structurally identical (homometric) solutions through two case studies: a small peptide and amorphous calcium carbonate.
- The authors suggest that machine learning could play a significant role in improving structure determination from PDF data, and they discuss future possibilities in this area.

The field of computational chemistry has made an impressive impact on contemporary chemical research. In order to carry out computational studies on actual systems, sophisticated software is required in form of large-scale quantum chemical program packages. Given the enormous diversity and complexity of the methods that need to be implementation in such packages, it is evident that these software pieces are very large (millions of code lines) and extremely complex.
