The development of nanocrystals has been intensively pursued, not only for their fundamental
scientific interest, but also for many technological applications 1 , 2 , 3 . The synthesis of …

We investigated the electronic structure of 5 d transition-metal oxide Sr 2 IrO 4 using angle-resolved
photoemission, optical conductivity, x-ray absorption measurements, and first-…

Somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) technology has recently been used to generate animals
with a common genetic composition. In this study, we report the derivation of a pluripotent …

Background The use of simulation as an educational tool is becoming increasingly prevalent
in nursing education, and a variety of simulators are utilized. Based on the results of these …

Half-metallic materials are characterized by the coexistence of metallic behaviour for one
electron spin and insulating behaviour for the other. Thus, the electronic density of states is …

Advanced beyond-silicon electronic technology requires both channel materials and also
ultralow-resistance contacts to be discovered 1 , 2 . Atomically thin two-dimensional …

Nanomaterials that can circulate in the body hold great potential to diagnose and treat
disease 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 . For such applications, it is important that the nanomaterials be harmlessly …

Crystal order is not restricted to the periodic atomic array, but can also be found in electronic
systems such as the Wigner crystal 1 or in the form of orbital order 2 , stripe order 3 and …

Obesity is globally prevalent and highly heritable, but its underlying genetic factors remain
largely elusive. To identify genetic loci for obesity susceptibility, we examined associations …

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) in soils plays an important role in the biogeochemistry of
carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus, in pedogenesis, and in the transport of pollutants in soils. …
