Unveiling the polarization switching pathway through tetragonal phase as a metastable intermediate state in ferroelectric Hf_xZr_1-xO₂ thin film

The authors demonstrate a polarization switching pathway through an orthorhombic-tetragonal orthorhombic phase transition in ferroelectric Hf0.5Zr0.5O2, where the intermediate state, non-polar P42/nmc T-phase, is metastable.

IL-21R-STAT3 signalling initiates a differentiation program in uterine tissue-resident NK cells to support pregnancy

Uterine natural killer (NK) cells support tissue homeostasis in the uterus during pregnancy, but it is not fully known how they differentiate into potentially cytotoxic effector cells while avoiding tissue damage. Here authors show that Il21 receptor signalling via STAT3 activation governs their differentiation, while an apoptotic cell death program ensures that harm is limited.

The accidental band-crossing origin of Weyl nodes paired with the absence of sizeable band gaps hampers the exploitation of low-energy relativistic quasiparticles in Weyl semimetals. In a gate-tunable high-quality tellurene film, quantum Hall measurements unveil a topologically non-trivial π Berry phase caused by unconventional Weyl nodes in these tellurium two-dimensional sheets.

Thermoresponsive PEDOT:PSS/PNIPAM conductive hydrogels as wearable resistive sensors for breathing pattern detection

The PEDOT: PSS/PNIPAM hydrogel was simply prepared by ultrasound-enhanced free radical polymerization in an ice bath, in open air rather than spending hours under an N₂ purged environment. The resulting conductive hydrogel had a uniform texture and good flexibility for rapid resistance responses and color changes when it was exposed to temperature stimulations. The dual actions of hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic aggregation weaken the Coulomb interaction between PEDOT⁺ and PSS⁻ for better conductivity that is suitable for breathing monitoring and other wearable sensing applications.
