Open AccessFate of charge order in overdoped La-based cuprates
In high-temperature cuprate superconductors, stripe order refers broadly to a coupled spin and charge modulation with a commensuration of eight and four lattice units, respectively. How this stripe order evolv...

Chiral phonons in the pseudogap phase of cuprates
The nature of the pseudogap phase of cuprates remains a major puzzle1,2. One of its signatures is a large negative thermal Hall conductivity3, whose origin is as yet unknown. This is observed even in the undoped ...

Giant thermal Hall conductivity in the pseudogap phase of cuprate superconductors
The nature of the pseudogap phase of the copper oxides (‘cuprates’) remains a puzzle. Although there are indications that this phase breaks various symmetries, there is no consensus on its fundamental nature1. Fe...

Thermodynamic signatures of quantum criticality in cuprate superconductors
The three central phenomena of cuprate (copper oxide) superconductors are linked by a common do** level p*—at which the enigmatic pseudogap phase ends and the resistivity exhibits an anomalous linear dependence...

Open AccessDirect observation of orbital hybridisation in a cuprate superconductor
The minimal ingredients to explain the essential physics of layered copper-oxide (cuprates) materials remains heavily debated. Effective low-energy single-band models of the copper–oxygen orbitals are widely u...

A spin–orbital-entangled quantum liquid on a honeycomb lattice
A quantum-liquid state of spin–orbital-entangled magnetic moments is observed in the 5d-electron honeycomb iridate H3LiIr2O6, evidenced by the absence of magnetic ordering down to 0.05 kelvin.

Open AccessZero-gap semiconductor to excitonic insulator transition in Ta2NiSe5
The excitonic insulator is a long conjectured correlated electron phase of narrow-gap semiconductors and semimetals, driven by weakly screened electron–hole interactions. Having been proposed more than 50 year...

Negative electronic compressibility and tunable spin splitting in WSe2
Angle-resolved photoemission measurements of electron-doped layers of tungsten diselenide reveal signatures of negative electronic compressibility that survive to much higher carrier densities than in conventi...

Open AccessB-RAF mutation and accumulated gene methylation in aberrant crypt foci (ACF), sessile serrated adenoma/polyp (SSA/P) and cancer in SSA/P
Sessile serrated adenomas/polyps (SSA/Ps) are a putative precursor of colon cancer with microsatellite instability (MSI). However, the developmental mechanism of SSA/P remains unknown. We performed genetic ana...

Open AccessTGF-β/Smad3 inhibit vascular smooth muscle cell apoptosis through an autocrine signaling mechanism involving VEGF-A
We have previously shown that in the presence of elevated Smad3, transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) transforms from an inhibitor to a stimulant of vascular smooth muscle cell (SMC) proliferation and intimal hyp...
