Thermohaline structure and circulation beneath the Langhovde Glacier ice shelf in East Antarctica

Nature Communications, 2021
Basal melting of ice shelves is the principal driver of recent ice mass loss in Antarctica. The study reports comprehensive structures of temperature, salinity and current under an ice shelf in East Antarctica obtained by borehole measurements.

Low temperature stimulates spatial molecular reprogramming of the Arabidopsis seed germination programme [PDF]

, 2021
The timing of the germination of seeds is highly responsive to inputs from the environment. Temperature plays a key role in the control of germination, with low temperatures acting to stimulate this developmental transition in many species.

Nonlinear two-level dynamics of quantum time crystals

Nature Communications, 2022
Recent work has reported a realization of a time crystal in the form of the Bose-Einstein condensate of magnons in superfluid 3He. Here, the authors study the dynamics of a pair of such quantum time crystals and show that it closely resembles the ...

On how the mechanochemical and co-precipitation synthesis method changes the sensitivity and operating range of the Ba2Mg1-xEuxWO6 optical thermometer

Scientific Reports, 2021
The suitability of Ba2MgWO6 (BMW) double perovskite doped with Eu3+ for the construction of an optical thermometer was tested. It has been shown that by controlling the conditions of BMW synthesis, the sensitivity of the optical thermometer and the ...

Detection of relativistic fermions in Weyl semimetal TaAs by magnetostriction measurements

Nature Communications, 2022
Detecting Weyl or Dirac charge carriers in topological semimetals is challenging due to the presence of their conventional counterparts. In this manuscript, the authors show that magnetostriction offers clearly distinguishable conventional and Weyl or ...

Quantum mechanisms for selective detection in complex gas mixtures using conductive sensors

Scientific Reports, 2023
In this paper, we consider new quantum mechanisms for selective detection in complex gaseous media which provide the highest possible efficiency of quantum sensors and for the first time analyze their nature. On the basis of these quantum mechanisms, the
