Pentagonal 2D Altermagnets: Material Screening and Altermagnetic Tunneling Junction Device Application

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
From a database of 170 pentagonal 2D materials, 4 candidates exhibiting altermagnetic ordering are screened. Furthermore, the spin‐splitting and unconventional boundary states in the pentagonal 2D altermagnetic monolayer MnS2 are investigated. A MnS2‐based altermagnetic tunneling junction is designed and, through ab initio quantum transport simulations,

Skiing and Ski Culture in Erzurum

open access: yesUluslararası Halkbilimi Araştırmaları Dergisi
Throughout human history, the tools developed have carried not only functional purposes but also cultural meanings. In this context, skiing, which initially served as a means of facilitating movement on snow, gradually assumed different functions such as

Alkyltriphenylphosphonium Binding to Cardiolipin Triggers Oncosis in Cancer Cells

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Alkyltriphenylphosphonium, exemplified by TPP+‐C14, preferentially accumulates in mitochondria and selectively binds to cardiolipin, a key phospholipid of the inner mitochondrial membrane, causing loss of mitochondrial membrane potential, severe cellular ATP depletion, and calcium imbalance.

Quantitative downhill skiing technique analysis according to ski instruction curricula: A proof-of-concept study applying principal component analysis on wearable sensor data

open access: yesFrontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2022
Downhill skiing technique represents the complex coordinative movement patterns needed to control skiing motion. While scientific understanding of skiing technique is still incomplete, not least due to challenges in objectively measuring it ...

Physics of Skiing: The Ideal-Carving Equation and Its Applications

open access: yes, 2003
Ideal carving occurs when a snowboarder or skier, equipped with a snowboard or carving skis, describes a perfect carved turn in which the edges of the ski alone, not the ski surface, describe the trajectory followed by the skier, without any slipping or ...

Aiming for the quiet eye in biathlon [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The duration of the so-called "Quiet Eye" (QE) - the final fixation before the initiation of a critical movement - seems to be linked to better perceptual-motor performances in various domains. For instance, experts show longer QE durations when compared

Machine Learning Driven Window Blinds Inspired Porous Carbon‐Based Flake for Ultra‐Broadband Electromagnetic Wave Absorption

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Inspired by the regulation mechanism of window blinds, this study designs an electromagnetic wave‐absorbing metamaterial. By introducing the magneto‐electric coupling concept and integrating it with an artificial intelligence‐based data‐driven collaborative optimization strategy, the material optimizes impedance matching performance and enhances loss ...
