Understanding how time-reversal symmetry (TRS) breaks in quantum materials is key to uncovering new states of matter and advancing quantum technologies. However, unraveling the interplay between TRS breaking, charge order, and superconductivity in kagome metals continues to be a compelling challenge. Here, we investigate the kagome metal Cs(V1−xNbx)3Sb5 with x = 0.07 using muon spin rotation (μSR)
The kagome lattice is an intriguing and rich platform for discovering, tuning and understanding the diverse phases of quantum matter, crucial for advancing modern and future electronics. Despite considerable efforts, accessing correlated phases at room temperature has been challenging. Using single-crystal X-ray diffraction, we discovered charge order above room temperature in La(Ru1−xFex)3Si2 (x
We report on the effect of magnetic impurities on the microscopic superconducting (SC) properties of the kagome-lattice superconductor La(Ru1-xFex)3Si2 using muon spin relaxation/rotation. A strong suppression of the superconducting critical temperature Tc, the SC volume fraction, and the superfluid density was observed. We further find a correlation between the superfluid density and Tc which is
The breaking of time-reversal symmetry (TRS) in the normal state of kagome superconductors AV3Sb5 stands out as a significant feature, but its tunability is unexplored. Using low-energy muon spin rotation and local field numerical analysis, we study TRS breaking as a function of depth in single crystals of RbV3Sb5 (with charge order) and Cs(V0.86Ta0.14)3Sb5 (without charge order). In the bulk of R
Vacancies in solid-state physics are underexplored in materials with strong electron-electron correlations. Recent research on the Ir-Sb binary system revealed an extended buckled-honeycomb vacancy (BHV) order. Superconductivity arises by suppressing BHV ordering through high-pressure growth with excess Ir atoms or Rh substitution, yet the superconducting pairing nature remains unknown. To explore
The two-dimensional kagome lattice is an experimental playground for novel physical phenomena, from frustrated magnetism and topological matter to chiral charge order and unconventional superconductivity. A newly identified kagome superconductor, Ta2V3.1Si0.9 has recently gained attention for possessing a record high critical temperature, TC = 7.5 K for kagome metals at ambient pressure. In this s
Spiral spin liquids are an exotic class of correlated paramagnets with an enigmatic magnetic ground state composed of a degenerate manifold of fluctuating spin spirals. Experimental realizations of the spiral spin liquid are scarce, mainly due to the prominence of structural distortions in candidate materials that can trigger order-by-disorder transitions to more conventionally ordered magnetic gr
We present a comprehensive study of the short-ranged nuclear and magnetic order in the two-dimensional spin glass, Mn0.5Fe0.5PS3. Nuclear neutron scattering data reveal a random distribution of Mn2+ and Fe2+ ions within the honeycomb layers, which gives rise to a spin glass state through inducing competition between neighboring exchange interactions, indicated in magnetic susceptibility data by a
PurposeCombination treatments—thermal ablation (TA) and transarterial chemoembolisation (TACE) have been suggested for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). After TA a transient hyperemic zone appears around the ablated area, a potential target for TACE. The aim was to determine when this peri-ablational hyperemia is at its widest and most intensely perfused.Materials and methodsThis prospective study e
Across Europe, freshwater ecosystems were simultaneously shaped by climate variability, land-use intensification, and accelerating socio-economic pressures, yet their combined effects on surface water quality and freshwater ecosystem service (FES) potential remained poorly understood at large spatial scales. While individual stressors were often examined in isolation, their interaction across hete
Hummeln is a simple impact structure located in south-eastern Sweden. It is approximately 1.2 km in diameter and almost completely covered by a lake. Here, we present the first detailed investigation of impactites and mapping of the 164.25 m deep drill core Hummeln-1 with a focus on impact metamorphism and the impact process. We find that the drilling has penetrated a complex sedimentary successio
STUDY QUESTIONAmong women pregnant after IVF/ICSI, do obstetric outcomes differ for women diagnosed with endometriosis and/or adenomyosis according to definitions by International Deep Endometriosis (IDEA) and the revised Morphological Uterus Sonographic Assessment (MUSA) groups, compared to women without the disease?SUMMARY ANSWERWomen with endometriosis and/or adenomyosis have a higher risk of p
Affärsrättsligt Centrum vid Lunds universitet (ACLU) bedriver forsknings- och seminarieverksamhet på centrala förmögenhetsrättsliga områden. En viktig del av den verksamhet som bedrivs inom ACLU är att regelbundet publicera böcker med originalbidrag från forskare och praktiker som har anknytning till ACLU. Målsättningen för ACLU:s publikationer är att de ska belysa aktuella och praktiskt relevanta
Bidraget (bokkapitlet) ger en omfattande genomgång av AI, dess historiska utveckling, definitioner och rättsliga reglering, med särskilt fokus på EU:s AI-förordning. I bidraget beskrivs hur AI har utvecklats från teoretiska modeller på 1950-talet till en central del av befintlig digital infrastruktur, med tillämpningar inom både privat och offentlig sektor, inklusive produktion, sociala medier, di
Den 29 juni 2025 beslöt styrelsen för International Sociological Association (ISA) om en tillfällig avstängning (”suspension”) av medlemskapet för Israeli Sociological Society (ISS). Avstängningen, som föregicks av en serie initiativ och uppmaningar från ISA:s nationella medlemsorganisationer, hänvisar dels till ett tidigare beslut om att avbryta alla relationer med offentliga israeliska instituti
SREBP transcription factors are key regulators of lipid metabolism and play a central role in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). In a recent issue of Molecular Cell, Nie et al. 1 have discovered that Drosha, known for microRNA processing, regulates the maturation and activation of SREBP1 in the liver, and this seems to be important in MASLD.
The dominant narrative on equity, diversity, and inclusion in U.S. medical research emphasises the underrepresentation of Black and Hispanic participants in clinical trials, largely based on therapeutic phase 2 and 3 trials. Far less attention has been paid to phase 1 trials—particularly those involving healthy volunteers who assume health risks without therapeutic benefit, often for money. Focusi
Challengers struggle against more powerful elites and authorities to resolve environmental problems driven by social forces, but can sustainability research contribute to such collective action while remaining scientific? After five years of movement-relevant sustainability research using Burawoy’s extended case method, I seek to make three contributions. Empirically, I present strategic alliances
