Predictability and dynamics of potential vorticity streamers and connections to high impact weather [PDF]

, 2012
Narrow potential vorticity (PV) intrusions across the tropopause (PV streamers) are interconnected with surface high- and low- pressure systems and frequently present during high-impact weather in the mid-latitudes. They often form during the breaking of

Extreme Bond Ionicity in Mg─Te Chalcogenides for Ultrathin Low Voltage Selector‐Only Memory beyond the Leakage Scaling Limit

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Mg─Te chalcogenides address the leakage scaling trade‐off in ultrathin selector‐only memory. Structural partitioning in multiphase Mg─Te, combined with highly ionic Mg─Te bonding and Hf interfacial engineering, supports reliable 5 nm thickness operation at low write voltage with suppressed leakage current, narrow threshold voltage distributions, 10 ns ...
