Improved figure of merit (z) at low temperatures for superior thermoelectric cooling in Mg3(Bi,Sb)2

Nature Communications, 2023
The low-temperature thermoelectric performance of Bi-rich n-type Mg3(Bi,Sb)2 was limited by the electron transport scattering at grain boundaries, while removing grain boundaries and bulk crystal growth of Mg-based Zintl phases are challenging due to the

Near-room temperature ferromagnetic insulating state in highly distorted LaCoO2.5 with CoO5 square pyramids

Nature Communications, 2021
Here, Zhang et al. succeed in creating a heavily distorted oxygen deficient film of lanthanum cobaltite. The new phase of LaCoO2.5 has several unique properties, most notably, a Curie temperature of 284 K, significantly larger than the films from which ...

Hyperactive ice‐binding proteins stabilize cell membranes and improve resistance to dehydration stress in Caenorhabditis elegans

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
TisIBP8, a fungal‐derived hyperactive ice‐binding protein, helps Caenorhabditis elegans survive dehydration. It localizes near cell membranes, reduces cell damage, and helps maintain membrane structure during drying. These results suggest that ice‐binding proteins can protect cells from dehydration stress as well as freezing stress.

Condensed matter physics in time crystals

New Journal of Physics, 2020
Abstract Time crystals are physical systems whose time translation symmetry is spontaneously broken. Although the spontaneous breaking of continuous time-translation symmetry in static systems is proved impossible for the equilibrium state, the discrete time-translation symmetry in periodically driven (Floquet) systems is allowed to be ...
