Advantages of Rydberg many-body systems in metrology
By probing the microwave electric field, we have exhibited the advantages of the Rydberg many-body system at the critical point. We find that the Fisher information close to the criticality is enhanced by a factor more than 10^3 by comparing a non-interacting ensemble.
Gyro-odd elastodynamics
Metamaterials containing active constituents from gyroscopic and odd-elastic effects challenge some basic symmetry principles of classical elasticity, which has significantly broadened the foundation of possibilities to manipulate non-Hermitian elastic waves in a highly unconventional guise.
A liquid biopsy signature predicts lymph node metastases in T1 esophageal squamous cell carcinoma: implications for precision treatment strategy
The treatment strategies for T1 esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) patients with or without lymph node metastasis (LNM) are different. We demonstrated that serum miR-20b-5p could predict LNM in T1 ESCC patients.
