Measuring vacancy-type defect density in monolayer MoS$_2$

Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Aleksandar Radic, Aleksandar Radic, , , | Summary: Two-dimensional (2D) materials are being widely researched for their interesting electronic properties. Their optoelectronic, mechanical and thermal properties can be finely modulated using a variety of methods, including strain, passivation, doping, and tuning of defect density. However, measuring defect […]

Nucleoprotein phase-separation affinities revealed via atomistic simulations of short peptide and RNA fragments

Kavli Affiliate: V. S. Ramachandran | Authors: Vysakh Ramachandran, William Brown and Davit A Potoyan | Summary: Liquid-liquid phase separation of proteins and nucleic acids into condensate phases is a versatile mechanism for ensuring compartmentalization of cellular biochemistry. RNA molecules play critical roles in these condensates, particularly in transcriptional regulation and stress responses, exhibiting a […]

Constraining the origin of the nanohertz gravitational-wave background by pulsar timing array observations of both the background and individual supermassive binary black holes

Kavli Affiliate: Qingjuan Yu | First 5 Authors: Yunfeng Chen, Qingjuan Yu, Youjun Lu, , | Summary: The gravitational waves (GWs) from supermassive binary black holes (BBHs) are long sought by pulsar timing array experiments (PTAs), in the forms of both a stochastic GW background (GWB) and individual sources. The evidence for a GWB was […]
