MIT physicists have created a new ultrathin, two-dimensional material with unusual magnetic properties that initially ...

This manuscript describes the identification and characterization of 12 specific phosphomimetic mutations in the recombinant full-length human tau protein that trigger tau to form fibrils. This ...

Such stacking creates a helical structure similar to the DNA helix or a hand of three cards that are ... However, this type of magnetism should not have appeared because the material supposedly had a ...

In the current work, the helical structure created by the three ... But that magnetism can only occur in a system that lacks a specific symmetry—one that the team's new material should have ...

Article Views are the COUNTER-compliant sum of full text article downloads since November 2008 (both PDF and HTML) across all institutions and individuals. These metrics are regularly updated to ...
