Mechanism of muscle atrophy in a normal-weight rat model of type 2 diabetes established by using a soft-pellet diet

open access: yesScientific Reports
Dietary factors such as food texture affect feeding behavior and energy metabolism, potentially causing obesity and type 2 diabetes. We previously found that rats fed soft pellets (SPs) were neither hyperphagic nor overweight but demonstrated glucose ...

LEAD: Literature Enhanced Ab Initio Discovery of Nitride Dusting Layers for Enhanced Tunnel Magnetoresistance and Lower Resistance Magnetic Tunnel Junctions

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) using MgO tunnel barriers face challenges of high resistance‐area product and low tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR). To discover alternative materials, Literature Enhanced Ab initio Discovery (LEAD) is developed. The LEAD‐predicted materials are theoretically evaluated, showing that MTJs with dusting of ScN or TiN on ...

Analysis of Technical Efficiency and Varietal Differences in Pistachio Production in Iran Using a Meta-Frontier Analysis [PDF]

open access: yes
This paper reports on an analysis of technical efficiency and varietal differences in pistachio production in Iran. A random sample of 475 farmers was selected from the province of Kerman in 2003 and 2004. In this study, farmers are classified into three

Achievement of a vacuum-levitated metal mechanical oscillator with ultra-low damping rate at room temperature

open access: yesCommunications Physics
A vacuum-levitated metal mechanical oscillator with an ultra-low damping rate is an ideal tool for detecting mass-related short-range forces; however, its realization at room temperature has not yet been achieved, limiting its practical applications.

Single‐Chromophore Homojunction Organic Solar Cells: A Path to Simplicity and Efficiency

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
This perspective discusses how the intrinsic optoelectronic properties of organic semiconductors, their molecular packing in the solid‐state, and internal energetic gradients within a device can enable free‐charge carrier generation in homojunction organic solar cells.

Absorptive Capacity and Frontier Technology: Evidence from OECD Manufacturing Industries [PDF]

open access: yes
This paper investigates whether differences in absorptive capacity help to explain cross-country differences in the level of productivity. We utilise stochastic frontier analysis to investigate two potential sources of this inefficiency: differences in ...

Spatiotemporal optical vortex combs

open access: yesNature Communications
Single-packet spatiotemporal optical vortices (STOVs) with transverse orbital angular momentum (OAM) have recently garnered significant attentions. Nevertheless, more advanced applications require diverse transverse OAM modes and multiple STOV wave ...
