Even though physicians often have the access and ability to generate significant wealth, many report poor financial literacy and education. They may not fully understand the options available to them for passing on their wealth to their next of kin. Options include wills, trusts, or, if one dies without a will, simply following the states intestate succession laws. There are multiple types of trusts that each confer different benefits and drawbacks. Physicians in all stages of their career should be aware of these options and strongly consider working with an estate planning attorney and financial planner.

Transplantation is the standard treatment for end-stage kidney disease but carries with it a non-trivial risk of post-operative complication. There is a need for a continuous, real-time, not additionally invasive method of monitoring organ perfusion. We present an approach to allograft perfusion monitoring using a human kidney model using normothermic perfusion (EVNP) and custom spectroscopic optical reflectance probes.

Nanoribbons, nanometre-wide strips of a two-dimensional material, are a unique system in condensed matter. They combine the exotic electronic structures of low-dimensional materials with an enhanced number of exposed edges, where phenomena including ultralong spin coherence times, quantum confinement and topologically protected states can emerge. An exciting prospect for this material concept is the potential for both a tunable semiconducting electronic structure and magnetism along the nanoribbon edge, a key property for spin-based electronics such as (low-energy) non-volatile transistors.

Confronting Earth System Model trends with observations.

Sci Adv

March 2025

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Livermore, CA, USA.

Anthropogenically forced climate change signals are emerging from the noise of internal variability in observations, and the impacts on society are growing. For decades, Climate or Earth System Models have been predicting how these climate change signals will unfold. While challenges remain, given the growing forced trends and the lengthening observational record, the climate science community is now in a position to confront the signals, as represented by historical trends, in models with observations.

Tuning higher order structure in colloidal fluids.

Soft Matter

March 2025

Gulliver UMR CNRS 7083, ESPCI Paris, Université PSL, 75005 Paris, France.

Colloidal particles self assemble into a wide range of structures under external AC electric fields due to induced dipolar interactions [Yethiraj and Van Blaaderen, , 2003, , 513]. As a result of these dipolar interactions, at low volume fraction the system is modulated between a hard-sphere like state (in the case of zero applied field) and a "string fluid" upon application of the field. Using both particle-resolved experiments and computer simulations, we investigate the emergence of the string fluid with a variety of structural measures including two-body and higher-order correlations.
