Scale-Specific Viscoelastic Characterization of Hydrogels: Integrated AFM and Finite Element Modeling. [PDF]
An integrated multiscale approach reveals distinct viscoelastic responses of hydrogels across length scales. Combining AFM‐based nanoindentation, finite element modeling, and a novel analytical framework, this study enables accurate, scale‐specific mechanical characterization to guide the design of advanced biomaterials. Abstract Viscoelastic hydrogels

Meissner Effect and Nonreciprocal Charge Transport in Non-Topological 1T-CrTe<sub>2</sub>/FeTe Heterostructures. [PDF]
This work demonstrates interface‐induced superconductivity (Tc ∼12 K) with a robust Meissner effect and pronounced nonreciprocal transport in epitaxial 1T‐CrTe2/FeTe heterostructures, where 1T‐CrTe2 is a 2D ferromagnet, and FeTe is an antiferromagnetic metal.

Nanomechanical Analog of a Laser: Amplification of Mechanical Oscillations by Stimulated Zeeman Transitions [PDF]
We propose a magnetomechanical device that exhibits many properties of a laser. The device is formed by a nanocantilever and dynamically polarized paramagnetic nuclei of a solid sample in a strong external magnetic field.
