Electrostatic effects, band distortions and superconductivity in twisted graphene bilayers [PDF]
, 2018 Bilayer graphene twisted by a small angle shows a significant charge modulation away from neutrality, as the charge in the narrow bands near the Dirac point is mostly localized in the regions of the Moir\'e pattern with $AA$ stacking. The resulting electrostatic potential gives rise to the dominant contribution to the electron-electron interaction ...

Theory of 2D crystals: graphene and beyond [PDF]
Chem. Soc. Rev. 46, 4387 (2017), 2017 This tutorial review presents an overview of the basic theoretical aspects of two-dimensional (2D) crystals. We revise essential aspects of graphene and the new families of semiconducting 2D materials, like transition metal dichalcogenides or black phosphorus. Minimal theoretical models for various materials are presented.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Noise‐induced synaptopathy (NIS) is largely reversible due to self‐repair. NIS and noise‐induced hidden hearing loss are two concepts with similarities and differences. The major hearing deficits in NIHHL are temporal processing disorders. The translation of animal data in NIS studies to humans is hindered by many factors.

Spatial variation of grassland canopy affects soil wetting patterns and preferential flow
Hydrological Processes, Volume 36, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022 Spatially heterogeneous canopy and pre‐event soil moisture conditions changed soil‐wetting patterns. Taller grass, together with drier soil, weakens soil moisture response, probably because of uneven water input and dryness induced preferential flow. Abstract Canopies shape net precipitation patterns, which are spatially heterogeneous and control soil ...

A nesting aggregation of the solitary bee Megachile atrata (Hymenoptera: Megachilidae) in the Philippines [PDF]
, 2017 A nesting aggregation of Megachile (Creightonella) atrata Smith in the Philippines comprised almost 300 active nests. The bees in rapid flight resemble the hornet Vespa tropica Linnaeus. The nest structure is similar to that reported for M.

Colloquium: Spintronics in graphene and other two-dimensional materials [PDF]
Rev. Mod. Phys. 92, 21003 (2020), 2019 After the first unequivocal demonstration of spin transport in graphene (Tombros et al., 2007), surprisingly at room temperature, it was quickly realized that this novel material was relevant for both fundamental spintronics and future applications.

Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management, Volume 19, Issue 1, Page 202-212, January 2023., 2023 Abstract In regulatory risk assessment, surrogate species of fish, aquatic invertebrates, and primary producers are tested to assess toxicity and subsequently the risk of pesticides to freshwater biota. This study evaluates whether the standard, surrogate test species (mostly temperate in latitudinal distribution) used in many parts of the world are ...

A Model of Epigenetic Inheritance Accounts for Unexpected Adaptation to Unforeseen Challenges
Advanced Science, EarlyView.A general model of inheriting changes that are acquired during the lifetime of individuals demonstrates tremendous benefits to the population, including escape from extinction in changing environments. Contrasting the model with experimental data shows that inheritance of acquired changes enables rapid adaptation to unforeseen challenges, and accounts ...
