Observation of strong spin-orbit couplings in plasmonic spin-twistronics topological lattices

Twistronics is commonly applied to a twisted bilayer of two-dimensional materials. Here, authors introduce the concepts of twistronics to the superposition of two spin lattices generated from surface plasmon polaritons on a single surface. The system is periodically modulated by its total angular momentum.

Scalable and programmable topological transitions in plasmonic Moiré superlattices

Material properties and structural rigidity make topological transitions hard to scale and program. Here, authors use moiré superlattices of optical skyrmions to achieve broad tuneability of topological transitions and revealing a symmetry-related selection rule for the system topological invariants, excluding integer multiples of 3/2.

High-fat diet disrupts a septal control on feeding to promote obesity in male mice

How high-fat diet disrupts brain circuits that regulate food intake is unclear. Here, the authors show such a diet downregulates Hcn1 and Gad2 in lateral septum, which in turn disrupts circuit activity and promotes overeating and obesity in mice.

A universal and versatile terahertz field manipulation mechanism by manipulating near-infrared phases with a dislocation scheme

A universal and versatile terahertz wavefront-phase manipulation is proposed and confirmed experimentally by manipulating two-dimensionally phases of the near-infrared pulses and converting them to terahertz region by nonlinear difference frequency.

Rapid flips between warm and cold extremes in a warming world

Rapid temperature flips between hot and cold extremes will become more frequent, more intense, and more rapid globally by the end of the twenty-first century, which is exacerbated in world’s breadbasket regions and low-income countries.

Social rank modulates methamphetamine-seeking in dominant and subordinate male rodents via distinct dopaminergic pathways

Social status mediates individual differences in methamphetamine-seeking by modulating dopaminergic pathways. In subordinate rodents, the mesolimbic pathway is stronger, and the mesocortical pathway is weaker, whereas dominant rodents show the opposite pattern.

Intranasal mask for protecting the respiratory tract against viral aerosols

The spread of many infectious diseases substantially relies on aerosol transmission to the respiratory tract. Here, the authors design an intranasal mask with the ability to intercept viral aerosols, entrap and inactivate virus, thus preventing respiratory tract infection.

Global projections of future urban land expansion under shared socioeconomic pathways

Shared socioeconomic pathways (SSPs) is a crucial scenario describing the potential of future socio-economic development. The authors here investigate long-term effects of various government policies suggested by different SSPs on urban land and reveal the impact of future urban expansion on other land and food production.

Bre1/RNF20 promotes Rad51-mediated strand exchange and antagonizes the Srs2/FBH1 helicases

Here the authors report that the yeast ubiquitin E3 ligase Bre1 and its human homolog RNF20 function as recombination mediator proteins by promoting Rad51-ssDNA assembly, Rad51 replacement of ssDNA-bound RPA while antagonizing the activities of Srs2 or FBH1 anti-recombinase.

Phosphorylation of 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 13 at serine 33 attenuates nonalcoholic fatty liver disease in mice

A truncating variant of 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase-13 (17β-HSD13), a lipid droplet -associated protein, associates with lower risk of chronic liver disease. Here the authors identify a phosphorylation site in 17β-HSD13 which promotes lipolysis, and report that a knock-in mouse with a 17β-HSD13 mutant defective for phosphorylation is more susceptible to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis.
