Conventional radio-frequency acceleration form the basis of most accelerators in industry today, and is a scaleable technology used in large-scale research laboratories all over the world. The final particle energy and the availability of the devices are, however, often limited by practical concerns such as price, size, and energy consumption. This prompts research into alternative acceleration me
High-precision lifetime measurements have been performed in superdeformed (SD) bands of 151,152Dy and 151Tb with the Doppler-shift attenuation method. Differences found in the quadrupole moments Q0 of the yrast SD bands are understood in terms of shape polarization effects by the high-N intruder orbitals. Q0 moments are also presented for three excited SD bands in 151Dy. Recent calculations can ac

The global steel industry is a complex socio-technical system of strategicimportance, producing close to 10 percent of global emissions. Decarbonizing thissystem will significantly impact energy use, supply chain configurations, andinternational competitiveness, with geopolitical implications. Governments acrossthe world are therefore turning towards industrial policy to accelerate atransformation
The effects of the simultaneous presence of monopole and quadrupole pairing interactions on the fission barriers for heavy and superheavy elements are considered. The first barrier for light Thisotopes is found to be raised by 1 MeV, while heavier actinide nuclei seem to be less affected by the inclusion of quadrupole pairing. For the superheavy elements, the inclusion of quadrupole pairing tends
Entangled photons carry nontrivial quantum correlations that defy classical physics and provide new tools for monitoring quantum dynamics in molecules. The use of low-flux entangled photons in molecular spectroscopy has been proposed in the past to probe excited-state dynamics with enhanced temporal and spectral resolutions. However, these techniques have been challenging to implement experimental
Using megahertz x-ray free electron laser imaging with x-ray pulses of ~25 femtoseconds and a machine-learning strategy, we have conducted comprehensive in situ imaging studies on the dynamics of cavitation bubble clouds in ultrasound fields at the SPB/SFX beamline of the European XFEL. The research unambiguously revealed the quasi-simultaneous implosion of multiple bubbles and simultaneous collap
Ground state moments of inertia and collective gyromagnetic ratios of deformed even nuclei with 50 < Z, N < 82 are calculated in the cranking-model approximation. Rather good agreement with experimental values of the moments of inertia is obtained. The dependence of the moment of inertia on the quadrupole (axial ε and non-axial γ) and on the hexadecapole ε4 deformations is investigated. Special co
Background: The six-minute walk distance (6MWD) is a measure of functional capacity and a frequently used endpoint in clinical trials investigating transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM). We evaluated the clinical utility of the 6MWD by quantifying the gap between the expected and observed physical performance and estimating its determinants. Methods: Outpatients with wild-type (ATTRwt)-CM
Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are widely used for RNA delivery, but their efficiency remains limited, largely due to poor endosomal escape. Upon administration, proteins bind to the surface of the LNPs, influencing cellular uptake and potentially altering their interfacial properties. Such alterations may also affect their interaction with endosomal membranes, thus influencing the critical endosomal
En los últimos años, los estados receptores de grandes poblaciones de refugiados han adoptado políticas estratégicas, entendidas como comportamientos de "búsqueda de incentivos sobre la población refugiada" (refugee rent-seeking behaviours) para aprovechar su posición y obtener concesiones financieras y políticas de la comunidad internacional (Tsourapas 2019). En concreto, Jordania y Líbano son do
The paper of Dunbar (2025) on social stress is a strong demonstration that stress in itself can have a purely cognitive origin. The paper shows that the cognitive system can have profound impacts on the hypothalamus. As detailed in my commentary, this opens up new avenues of how to interpret psychiatric conditions, placebo, and other associations between perceptions and vegetative functions in the
Introduction. Fava beans are an increasingly popular and viable crop, and an excellent nutritious choice for novel plant-based food products. Fava beans are industrially underexploited as a food ingredient and are today mainly used as animal feed [1]. However, fava beans are an interesting base material for producing plant-based milk. While soy milk dominates the legume-based beverage segment, the
Introduction. Building block chemicals, such as butanol, can be produced via fermentation and biobased feedstocks as a more sustainable alternative compared to the current petrochemical methods. However, the butanol fermentation is subjected to low product titres (<20 g/L) due to product inhibition of the bacteria [1]. To overcome this continuous fermentation can be applied, as it offers considera
Introduction. Salinity gradient energy (SGE) originates predominantly in estuaries, where freshwater rivers meet seawater. The energy available from the mixing of these solutions results from the difference in concentration between them. While oceanic waters typically maintain similar salt concentrations, those confined within semi-enclosed basins exhibit variations influenced by the prevailing co
