High-order harmonic generation (HHG) in gases leads to short-pulse extreme ultraviolet (XUV) radiation that is useful in a number of applications, such as attosecond science and nanoscale imaging. However, this process depends on many parameters, and there is still no consensus on how to choose the target geometry to optimize the source efficiency. We review the physics of HHG with emphasis on the
Ultra-thin high-Al content barrier layers can enable improved gate control and high-frequency operation of AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) but the precise composition control is very challenging. In this work, we investigate the compositional profiles of AlxGa1−xN/GaN HEMT structures with targeted Al content in the barrier layer, x = 0.50, 0.70, and 1, and thickness in the sub
There is a growing interest in reconstructing the density matrix of photoelectron wavepackets, in particular in complex systems where decoherence can be introduced either by a partial measurement of the system or through coupling with a stochastic environment. To this end, several methods to reconstruct the density matrix, quantum state tomography protocols, have been developed and tested on photo
Developing a reliable procedure for the growth of III-V nanowires (NW) on silicon (Si) substrates remains a significant challenge, as current methods rely on trial-and-error approaches with varying interpretations of critical process steps such as sample preparation, Au-Si alloy formation in the growth reactor, and NW alignment. Addressing these challenges is essential for enabling high-performanc
Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) have significant potential for disease modeling and cell therapies. However, their wide-spread application has faced challenges, including batch-to-batch variabilities, and notable distinctions when compared to embryonic stem cells (ESCs). Some of these disparities can stem from using undefined culture conditions and the reprogramming procedure, however, the
Artificial intelligence (AI) is set to disrupt the way businesses and civil society operate, but the large energy usage for training and running AI compute models remains a pressing concern in terms of its sustainability. Analog in-memory computing (AIMC) hardware based on memristor devices is a promising route to significant energy-savings. Among the various memristor technologies, ferroelectric
Lung transplantation remains the definitive treatment for end-stage lung disease, but several critical challenges persist. Key issues include the limited availability of donor organs, ongoing debates over optimal preservation methods, and the controversy surrounding the best intraoperative support systems. Additionally, the efficacy of bridging strategies to transplantation continues to be questio
A novel mechanism of sequestering tumor suppressor mRNAs reveals new therapeutic vulnerabilities in leukemic cells.
Nonlinear effects play a central role in photonics as they form the foundation for most of the device functionalities such as amplification and quantum state preparation and detection. Typically the nonlinear effects are weak and emerge only at high photon numbers with strong drive. Here we present an experimental study of a Josephson junction -based high-impedance resonator. We show that by takin
BackgroundDietary shift is necessary for improving public health, mitigating climate change, and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. Adaption of climate-friendly diets might prevent chronic diseases and reduce mortality; however, consuming diets with a low climate impact have been suggested to increase risk of some micronutrient deficiencies.ObjectivesThis study aimed to examine whether s
The presence of microplastics (MPs) in water represents a current problem for marine life and a future serious issue for human health. This is pushing towards new approaches for the removal of MPs and, hence, their characterization and evaluation, which up to now has represented a limit for tentative procedures for their degradation. Herein, we reported on a new facile, in situ and non-destructive
Background: Regular monitoring of healthcare quality and equity is crucial for informing decision-makers and clinicians. This study explores the application of generative AI, more specifically large language models (LLMs), to facilitate standardized monitoring of healthcare quality using the established framework Analysis of Individual Heterogeneity and Discriminatory Accuracy (AIHDA). The study i
Combining multiple III-V materials into axial nanowire heterostructures has enabled the fabrication of custom nanowire-based devices useful for a wide range of applications. However, our ability to form axial heterostructures between arbitrary combinations of III-V compounds is impeded by a lack of information on the dynamics of the heterojunction formation process, often resulting in suboptimal h
RNA modifying enzymes play a pivotal role in reshaping gene expression programs in response to diverse intracellular and extracellular cues, thereby maintaining cellular homeostasis. When dysregulated, these enzymes are increasingly implicated in the onset and progression of various diseases. While traditionally recognised for their catalytic functions, mounting evidence suggests that many RNA mod
We report on the synthesis and detailed spectroscopic characterization of bis-phenylhydrazone astaxanthin (BPH-Asx), a derivative of astaxanthin (Asx), in which the conjugated carbonyl group of Asx is replaced by a conjugated C N bond. BPH-Asx was successfully synthesized and characterized using various spectroscopic techniques, revealing subtle changes in absorption spectra and significant altera
Objective: To determine if prior exposure to certain drugs is associated with increased risk of ANCA associated vasculitis(AAV).Patients and Method: We performed a population-based case–control study including patients with AAV diagnosed between2006 and 2019 from a defined geographic area in southern Sweden. For each case, we identified 10 controls randomly sampledfrom the background general popul
