The physics of quantum materials is dictated by many-body interactions and mathematical
concepts such as symmetry and topology that have transformed our understanding of matter …

Weyl and Dirac semimetals are three-dimensional phases of matter with gapless electronic
excitations that are protected by topology and symmetry. As three-dimensional analogs of …

In a recent work, new two-dimensional materials, monolayer MoSi 2 N 4 and WSi 2 N 4,
were successfully synthesized in experiment, and several other monolayer materials with a …

Caenorhabditis elegans must distinguish pathogens from nutritious food sources among the
many bacteria to which it is exposed in its environment. Here we show that a single …

How accurate is the picture of the human mind that has emerged from studies in
neuroscience, psychology, and cognitive science? Anybody with an interest in how minds …

Serotonin is a phylogenetically ancient biogenic amine that has played an integral role in
maintaining energy homeostasis for billions of years. In mammals, serotonin produced …

Organisms evolve in response to their natural environment. Consideration of natural
ecological parameters are thus of key importance for our understanding of an organism's …

Due to mirror symmetry breaking, two-dimensional Janus transition metal dichalcogenides
MXY (M= Mo, W; X, Y= S, Se, Te) present charming electronic properties. However, there …

A number of bacteria, and some plants, produce large quantities of indole, which is
widespread in animal intestinal tracts and in the rhizosphere. Indole, as an interspecies and …

The ability to inherit learned information from parents could be evolutionarily beneficial,
enabling progeny to better survive dangerous conditions. We discovered that, after C …
