TL;DR: It is predicted that the tetradymite-type compound MnBi_{2}Te_{4} and its related materials host topologically nontrivial magnetic states that might lead to a minimal ideal Weyl semimetal.
Abstract: Topological states of quantum matter have attracted great attention in condensed matter physics and materials science. The study of time-reversal-invariant topological states in quantum materials has made tremendous progress. However, the study of magnetic topological states falls much behind due to the complex magnetic structures. Here, we predict the tetradymite-type compound ${\mathrm{MnBi}}_{2}{\mathrm{Te}}_{4}$ and its related materials host topologically nontrivial magnetic states. The magnetic ground state of ${\mathrm{MnBi}}_{2}{\mathrm{Te}}_{4}$ is an antiferromagetic topological insulator state with a large topologically nontrivial energy gap ($\ensuremath{\sim}0.2\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{eV}$). It presents the axion state, which has gapped bulk and surface states, and the quantized topological magnetoelectric effect. The ferromagnetic phase of ${\mathrm{MnBi}}_{2}{\mathrm{Te}}_{4}$ might lead to a minimal ideal Weyl semimetal.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors designed a novel type of plasmonic material, which is made by uniformly decorating fine metal nanoparticles into the 3D mesoporous matrix of natural wood.
Abstract: Plasmonic metal nanoparticles are a category of plasmonic materials that can efficiently convert light into heat under illumination, which can be applied in the field of solar steam generation. Here, this study designs a novel type of plasmonic material, which is made by uniformly decorating fine metal nanoparticles into the 3D mesoporous matrix of natural wood (plasmonic wood). The plasmonic wood exhibits high light absorption ability (≈99%) over a broad wavelength range from 200 to 2500 nm due to the plasmonic effect of metal nanoparticles and the waveguide effect of microchannels in the wood matrix. The 3D mesoporous wood with numerous low-tortuosity microchannels and nanochannels can transport water up from the bottom of the device effectively due to the capillary effect. As a result, the 3D aligned porous architecture can achieve a high solar conversion efficiency of 85% under ten-sun illumination (10 kW m−2). The plasmonic wood also exhibits superior stability for solar steam generation, without any degradation after being evaluated for 144 h. Its high conversion efficiency and excellent cycling stability demonstrate the potential of newly developed plasmonic wood to solar energy-based water desalination.

TL;DR: Using computer simulations, this work investigates the physical translocation processes of nanoparticles with different shapes and volumes and finds that the shape anisotropy and initial orientation of the particle are crucial to the nature of the interaction between the particle and lipid bilayer.
Abstract: Understanding how nanoparticles with different shapes interact with cell membranes is important in drug and gene delivery, but this interaction remains poorly studied. Using computer simulations, we investigate the physical translocation processes of nanoparticles with different shapes (for example, spheres, ellipsoids, rods, discs and pushpin-like particles) and volumes across a lipid bilayer. We find that the shape anisotropy and initial orientation of the particle are crucial to the nature of the interaction between the particle and lipid bilayer. The penetrating capability of a nanoparticle across a lipid bilayer is determined by the contact area between the particle and lipid bilayer, and the local curvature of the particle at the contact point. Particle volume affects translocation indirectly, and particle rotation can complicate the penetration process. Our results provide a practical guide to geometry considerations when designing nanoscale cargo carriers.

TL;DR: The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) as mentioned in this paper is a 20 kton multi-purpose underground liquid scintillator detector with the determination of the neutrino mass hierarchy as a primary physics goal.
Abstract: The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO), a 20 kton multi-purpose underground liquid scintillator detector, was proposed with the determination of the neutrino mass hierarchy as a primary physics goal. It is also capable of observing neutrinos from terrestrial and extra-terrestrial sources, including supernova burst neutrinos, diffuse supernova neutrino background, geoneutrinos, atmospheric neutrinos, solar neutrinos, as well as exotic searches such as nucleon decays, dark matter, sterile neutrinos, etc. We present the physics motivations and the anticipated performance of the JUNO detector for various proposed measurements. By detecting reactor antineutrinos from two power plants at 53-km distance, JUNO will determine the neutrino mass hierarchy at a 3-4 sigma significance with six years of running. The measurement of antineutrino spectrum will also lead to the precise determination of three out of the six oscillation parameters to an accuracy of better than 1\%. Neutrino burst from a typical core-collapse supernova at 10 kpc would lead to ~5000 inverse-beta-decay events and ~2000 all-flavor neutrino-proton elastic scattering events in JUNO. Detection of DSNB would provide valuable information on the cosmic star-formation rate and the average core-collapsed neutrino energy spectrum. Geo-neutrinos can be detected in JUNO with a rate of ~400 events per year, significantly improving the statistics of existing geoneutrino samples. The JUNO detector is sensitive to several exotic searches, e.g. proton decay via the $p\to K^++\bar u$ decay channel. The JUNO detector will provide a unique facility to address many outstanding crucial questions in particle and astrophysics. It holds the great potential for further advancing our quest to understanding the fundamental properties of neutrinos, one of the building blocks of our Universe.

TL;DR: Experimental results on ORL and a subset of FERET face databases show that (2D)^2PCA achieves the same or even higher recognition accuracy than 2DPCA, while the former needs a much reduced coefficient set for image representation than the latter.
