Some Historical Misconceptions and Inaccuracies Regarding The 1908 Tunguska Event
This paper is a continuation of a series of works, devoted to various aspects of the 1908 Tunguska event. A large number of hypotheses about its causes have been put forward already. However, so far none of them has received convincing evidence. This is probably why new hypotheses appear almost every year, not only in the mass-media, but also in scientific literature. At the same time, any hypothesis should not contradict the known facts about the event. Unfortunately, the authors of new hypoth…

Frequency as a Clock: Synchronization and Intrinsic Recovery in Graphene Transistor Dynamics
Hysteresis and memory effects in graphene field-effect transistors (GFETs) offer unique opportunities for neuromorphic computing, sensing, and memory applications, yet their physical origins remain debated due to competing volatile and nonvolatile interpretations. Here, we present a unified dynamic model that captures the essential physics of the GFET response under periodic gate modulation, accounting for both intrinsic relaxation processes and externally driven charge transfer. By modeling no…

Gate Tunable Room-temperature Mott Insulator in Kagome compound Nb3Cl8
The kagome lattice provides a playground to explore novel correlated quantum states due to the presence of flat bands in its electronic structure. Recently discovered layered kagome compound Nb3Cl8 has been proposed as a Mott insulator coming from the half-filled flat band. Here we have carried out systematic transport study to uncover the evidence of Mott insulator in Nb3Cl8 thin flakes. Bipolar semiconducting property with Fermi level close to conduction band has been revealed. We have furthe…

(1/4) “When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in 1 place. And suddenly from heaven there came a sound like the rush of a violent wind, & it filled the entire house where they were sitting. Divided tongues, as of fire, appeared among them, & a tongue rested on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit & began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them ability. Now there were devout Jews from every nation under heaven living in Jerusal…

Tunability of Robust Exciton-Trion Polaritons in Atomically Thin WS2 Monolayers
Herein, we present an experimental demonstration of the robust exciton-trion polaritons (ETPs) by measuring and simulating the resonance reflectance spectra of various configurational WS2 monolayers with different dielectric screenings. Moreover, the oscillator strength and decoherent behavior of such hybrid ETPs can be tuned via utilizing dielectric screening effect. The effect is attributed to the regulation of the Coulomb coupling between excitons and trions by changing the surrounding diele…
