Complex rotational dynamics of the neutron star in Hercules X-1 revealed by X-ray polarization

IXPE has revealed how the spin of the accreting neutron star Hercules X-1 changes in three dimensions. The spin axis of the star moves both through the star and across the sky, hinting that the crust of the star is asymmetric by almost one part in a million.

Topology stabilized fluctuations in a magnetic nodal semimetal

Recently, rich condensed matter physics has emerged from the interplay between band topology and magnetic order. Here, the authors characterize the magnetic Weyl semimetal CeAlGe and find evidence for the role of Weyl fermions in stabilizing the magnetic order above the local transition temperature.

Carbon precipitation from heavy hydrocarbon fluid in deep planetary interiors

Methane is a major constituent of planetary interiors, yet phase relations in the C–H system are poorly understood. This work documents the chemical reactivity of the C–H system over a wide range of temperatures and pressures, and sheds light on the chemical composition of Earth and icy giants.

Structural assessment of HLA-A2-restricted SARS-CoV-2 spike epitopes recognized by public and private T-cell receptors

Structural immunology is critical in understanding the interplay between the immune response and the infective agent but such studies in T cells and SARS-CoV-2 lag behind those of antibodies and B-cell receptors. Here the authors assess recognition of SARS-CoV-2 spike epitopes and their natural variants by public and private T cell receptors.

A combination treatment based on drug repurposing demonstrates mutation-agnostic efficacy in pre-clinical retinopathy models

This preclinical study demonstrates the potential of a drug repurposing strategy using the coadministration of tamsulosin, metoprolol, and bromocriptine to provide a mutation-agnostic therapy for inherited retinal degeneration.

Chemical design of electronic and magnetic energy scales of tetravalent praseodymium materials

Trivalent lanthanides are typically described using an ionic picture that leads to localized magnetic moments. Here authors show that the “textbook” description of lanthanides fails for Pr⁴⁺ ions where the hierarchy of single-ion energy scales can be tailored to explore correlated phenomena in quantum materials.

Methane-derived hydrocarbons produced under upper-mantle conditions

It has been proposed that hydrocarbons could be produced abiogenically under the high pressure, high temperature conditions characteristic of the upper mantle. In situ Raman spectroscopy indicates that methane forms saturated hydrocarbons, containing two to four carbons, when exposed to upper-mantle conditions.

Measurement of the inelastic proton–proton cross-section at √s=7 TeV with the ATLAS detector

The measurement of the total cross-section of proton–proton collisions is of fundamental importance for particle physics. Here, the first measurement of the inelastic cross-section is presented for proton–proton collisions at an energy of 7 teraelectronvolts using the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider.

Static magnetic order with strong quantum fluctuations in spin-1/2 honeycomb magnet Na₂Co₂TeO₆

Na₂Co₂TeO₆ is a candidate Kitaev spin-liquid, but the nature of its ground state remains controversial, as spurious non-Kitaev exchange interactions promote magnetic ordering. Here, neutron scattering and muon-spin rotation experiments indicate the presence of strong quantum fluctuations in the ground state, giving rise to a multi-domain zigzag antiferromagnetic order.

Realization of two-sublattice exchange physics in the triangular lattice compound Ba₃Er(BO₃)₃

Materials hosting magnetic rare-earth ions sitting on a two-dimensional triangular lattices are ideal candidates to realize spin liquid states. In this work, the authors synthesize a high-quality single crystal sample of an erbium based triangular lattice compound, that exhibits a mixture of ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic behaviour.
