The SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein: more than an entry key to heart damage
Our journey towards the discovery of the clever strategy adopted by SARS-CoV-2 to damage heart vascular cells far from the primary infection site: Spike protein shed from viral particles travels in the peripheral circulation and reaches the heart - like a messenger spreading the virus word.
Universal quantum control of an atomic qubit on a surface
Our paper demonstrates universal quantum control of an atomic spin qubit on surface using vector microwave control technique. We were able to control and measure an arbitrary superposition state of the spin, a significant step towards quantum applications of spin architectures at the atomic scale.
City-scale synthetic individual-level vehicle trip data
A city-level individual-level travel dataset is opened, containing travel time, origin and destination, and route information for five types of travelers.
Mechanism for Fluctuating Pair Density Waves
Pair density waves (PDWs) and `fluctuating' PDWs (FPDWs) are modulated superconducting states that manifest in novel quantum materials. We provide a unified theoretical framework that explains the FPDW, PDW and ordinary (uniform) superconducting phases under a single paradigm.
City-scale holographic traffic flow data based on vehicular trajectory resampling
A city-level holographic traffic flow dataset has been opened, which can support multiple scientific research projects in the field of transportation.
Hydrothermal activity due to the deepest submarine volcanism
Ferromanganese oxides formed by hydrothermal activity have been collected from a petit-spot volcano that erupted on an old and cold oceanic plate prior to subduction. This is the first evidence of hydrothermal activity due to the deepest submarine volcanism.
