Alkaline proteases are of considerable interest in view of their activity and stability at alkaline
pH. This review describes the proteases that can resist extreme alkaline environments …

The Kitaev model is an exactly solvable S= 1/2 spin model on a 2D honeycomb lattice, in
which the spins fractionalize into Majorana fermions and form a topological quantum spin …

Background Limited pediatric cases with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) have been
reported and the clinical profiles regarding COVID‐19 in children remain obscure. Our aim …

Since the discovery of high-temperature superconductivity in cop-per oxide compounds1,
there has been much effort to understand what is required for a compound to have a high …

The muon-spin-relaxation rate σ has been measured in sixteen specimens of high-T c
cuprate superconductors (the 2: 1: 4, 1: 2: 3, 2: 2: 1: 2, and 2: 2: 2: 3 series). This has allowed …

Measurement of the quantum-mechanical phase in quantum matter provides the most direct
manifestation of the underlying abstract physics. We used resonant x-ray scattering to probe …

THE attainment of unprecedentedly high transition temperatures (T cs) in the copper oxide
superconductors illustrates how working with more complex chemical systems allows …

Visible photoluminescence was observed in ultrafine Si particles at room temperature.
Transmission electron microscopy revealed that Si microcrystallites were embedded in a Si …

Autophagy is an intracellular bulk degradation process for proteins and organelles. In the
heart, autophagy is stimulated by myocardial ischemia. However, the causative role of …

One of the most intriguing features of some high-temperature cuprate superconductors is the
interplay between one-dimensional “striped” spin order and charge order, and …
