I want to do a Boiler Room reboot, but instead of a room full of stock brokers, it’s a room full of vibe coders with Ben Affleck yelling at them to “VIBE HARDER YOU BASTARDS!”

Signature of gate tunable superconducting network in twisted bilayer graphene
Twisted van der Waals materials provide a tunable platform for investigating two-dimensional superconductivity and quantum phases. Using spectra-imaging scanning tunneling microscopy, we study the superconducting states in twisted bilayer graphene and track their evolution from insulating phases. Gate-dependent spectroscopic measurements reveal two distinct regimes: under-doped (ν = -2.3) and optimally doped (ν = -2.6). In the under-doped regime, partial superconductivity arises, forming a ne…

Läsvärd text av SSU-distriktsordföranden Lisa Hult. Men jag undrar vad hon vill göra åt problemet (framgår inte). Och: hur gammal förväntas man vara innan man säger ifrån om nån i ens närhet tar kokain? https://www.etc.se/debatt/jag-blir-inte-laengr…

Jag blir inte längre chockad när papporna drar sina linor
"Drogerna har blivit det tydligaste kvittot på det moderna klassamhället där din relation till kokain berättar vilken klass du tillhör."

Twist-Angle-Controlled Anomalous Gating in Bilayer Graphene/BN Heterostructures
Anomalous gating effects-such as gate ineffectiveness and pronounced hysteresis-have been observed in graphene-based systems encapsulated in boron nitride (BN) and linked to a possible ferroelectric state. However, their origin, stability, and reproducibility remain under debate. Here, we present charge transport experiments in dual-gated, dynamically rotatable van der Waals heterostructures based on bilayer graphene encapsulated in BN. Remarkably, the angular degree of freedom acts as an ON/OF…

The Symmetry Taco: Equivalences between Gapped, Gapless, and Mixed-State SPTs
Symmetry topological field theory (SymTFT), or topological holography, offers a unifying framework for describing quantum phases of matter and phase transitions between them. While this approach has seen remarkable success in describing gapped and gapless pure-state phases in $1+1$d, its applicability to open quantum systems remains entirely unexplored. In this work, we propose a natural extension of the SymTFT framework to mixed-state phases by introducing the \textit{symmetry taco}: a bilayer…

The understanding of the penetration and clusterization of 1-alkanol in bilayer membrane: An open outlook based on atomistic molecular dynamics simulation
1-alkanols are well known to have anesthetic and penetration properties, though the mode of operation remains enigmatic. We perform extensive atomistic molecular dynamics simulation to study the penetration of 1-alkanols of different chain lengths in the dioleoyl-phosphatidylcholine (DOPC) bilayer model membrane. Our simulations show that the depth of penetration of 1-alkanol increases with chain length, n, and the deuterium order of the DOPC tail increases with the chain length of the acyl-cha…

We have not gone to a movie theatre in decades. Over-priced and even back then the price of munchies were outrageous. With the wife in a wheelchair there is a limit on where we can sit and enjoy a movie.
For the most part I will wait until the DVD or blueray video comes out and for a lot less than two tickets I can buy the movie and watch it any time I want, as often as I want, with pauses when we want and replay any section!
I don't usually stream as that is NOT buying the…

Brightening interlayer excitons by electric-field-driven hole transfer in bilayer WSe2
We observe the interlayer A1s^I, A2s^I, and B1s^I excitons in bilayer WSe2 under applied electric fields using reflectance contrast spectroscopy. Remarkably, these interlayer excitons remain optically bright despite being well separated from symmetry-matched intralayer excitons-a regime where conventional two-level coupling models fail unless unphysically large coupling strengths are assumed. To uncover the origin of this brightening, we perform density functional theory (DFT) calculations and …
