‘They Need to Hear You Say It’: Healthcare Professionals’ Perspectives on Barriers and Enablers to End‐of‐Life Discussions With Adolescents and Young Adults With Cancer

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT End‐of‐life conversations with adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with cancer rarely occur without the guidance of healthcare professionals. As a part of the ‘Difficult Discussions’ study, focused on palliative care and advance care planning discussions with AYAs with cancer, we investigated the factors that healthcare professionals identify ...

Evidence for strong electron correlations in a nonsymmorphic Dirac semimetal

npj Quantum Materials, 2021
Metallic iridium oxides (iridates) provide a fertile playground to explore new phenomena resulting from the interplay between topological protection, spin-orbit and electron-electron interactions.

Picosecond electric-field-induced threshold switching in phase-change materials

, 2016
Many chalcogenide glasses undergo a breakdown in electronic resistance above a critical field strength. Known as threshold switching, this mechanism enables field-induced crystallization in emerging phase-change memory.

Organoids in pediatric cancer research

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Organoid technology has revolutionized cancer research, yet its application in pediatric oncology remains limited. Recent advances have enabled the development of pediatric tumor organoids, offering new insights into disease biology, treatment response, and interactions with the tumor microenvironment.

Optimizing vortex pinning in YBa2Cu3O7-x superconducting films up to high magnetic fields

Communications Materials, 2022
Optimizing the microstructure of YBa2Cu3O7-x coated conductors across the magnetic field–temperature phase diagram is important for strengthening vortex pinning and thereby enhancing the critical current.

Field-induced dissociation of two-dimensional excitons in transition-metal dichalcogenides [PDF]

, 2019
Generation of photocurrents in semiconducting materials requires dissociation of excitons into free charge carriers. While thermal agitation is sufficient to induce dissociation in most bulk materials, an additional push is required to induce efficient ...

Structural instability impairs function of the UDP‐xylose synthase 1 Ile181Asn variant associated with short‐stature genetic syndrome in humans

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The Ile181Asn variant of human UDP‐xylose synthase (hUXS1), associated with a short‐stature genetic syndrome, has previously been reported as inactive. Our findings demonstrate that Ile181Asn‐hUXS1 retains catalytic activity similar to the wild‐type but exhibits reduced stability, a looser oligomeric state, and an increased tendency to precipitate ...

Automated analysis of photoelectron yield spectroscopy spectra interpreted via power laws

Science and Technology of Advanced Materials: Methods
We propose an automated method for threshold analysis in photoelectron yield spectroscopy (PYS), a technique used for measuring the ionization energy of inorganic and organic semiconductors. PYS spectra can be interpreted using the power law.

Tunable Electronic Structure in Twisted Bilayer WTe2

Frontiers in Physics, 2022
The moiré pattern restricts the electronic states of transition metal bilayers, thus extending the concept of the magic angle found in twisted bilayer graphene to semiconductors.
