A New Molecular Model for Lithium's Biological Interactions

Author(s)
John Marino, Katharine T. Briggs, Gary G. Giulian, Joe Kao, Gong Li
Lithium carbonate, a drug for the treatment of Bipolar Disorder, provides mood stability to mitigate recurrent episodes of mania and/or depression. Despite its

Physical Realization of a Quantum Spin Liquid Based on a Complex Frustration Mechanism

Author(s)
Christian Balz, Bella Lake, Johannes Reuther, Hubertus Luetkens, Rico Schonemann, Thomas Herrmannsdorfer, Yogesh Singh, A.T.M. Nazmul Islam, Elisa M. Wheeler, Jose Rodriguez Rivera, Tatiana Guidi, G. Giovanna Simeoni, Chris Baines, Hanjo Ryll
Unlike conventional magnets where the magnetic moments are partially or completely static in the ground state, in a quantum spin liquid they remain in

Insulator-quantum Hall transition in monolayer epitaxial graphene

Author(s)
Lung-I Huang, Yanfei Yang, Randolph Elmquist, Shun-Tsung Lo, Fan-Hung H. Liu, Chi-Te Laing
We report on magneto-transport measurements on low-density, large-area monolayer epitaxial graphene devices grown on SiC. We observe temperature (T)-independent

Report from Open Problems Session at OPSFA-13

Author(s)
Howard S. Cohl, Richard Askey, Rick Beatson, Charles Dunkl, Christoph Koutschan, Sheehan Olver, Yuan Xu, Wolfgang Zu Castell, Wadim Zudilin, Ted Chihara
We provide the open problems presented at OPSFA-13, Gaithersburg, Maryland, June 4, 2015. Howard Cohl, National Institute of Standards and Technology, has

Spatially patterned matrix elasticity directs stem cell fate

Author(s)
Chun Yang, Frank W. DelRio, Lena Basta, Hao Ma, Kyle Kyburz, Anouk Killaars, Kristi Anseth
There is a growing appreciation for the functional role of matrix mechanics in regulating stem cell self-renewal and differentiation. However, it is largely

Soliton crystals in Kerr microresonators

Author(s)
Daniel C. Cole, Erin S. Lamb, Pascal P. Del'Haye, Scott A. Diddams, Scott B. Papp
Solitons are pulses which propagate without spreading due to a balance between nonlinearity and dispersion or diffraction, and are universal features of systems

Phonon Anharmonicity in Bulk Td-MoTe2

Author(s)
Albert Davydov, Sergiy Krylyuk, Irina Kalish, Ryan Beams, Patrick Vora
We examine anharmonic contributions to the optical phonon frequency in bulk Td-MoTe2 phase through temperature-dependent Raman spectroscopy. At temperatures
