Cellular aging, a progressive functional decline driven by damage accumulation, often culminates in the mortality of a cell lineage.Certain lineages, however, are able to sustain long-lasting immortality, as prominently exemplified by stem cells.Here, we show that Escherichia coli cell lineages exhibit comparable patterns of mortality and immortali
One of the aspects of military conflicts is environmental.A specific and rather intense impact accompanies the conduct of hostilities and preparations for war on the environment.Although ecological damage is not usually a goal of warfare, such damage is integral to most armed conflicts.There is no single model of how war affects the environment.At
Somatosensory feedback of the hand is essential for object identification.Without somatosensory feedback, individuals cannot reliably determine the size or compliance of an object.Electrical nerve stimulation can restore localized tactile and proprioceptive feedback with intensity discrimination capability similar to natural sensation.We hypothesiz
Abstract Chiral zeroth Landau levels are topologically protected bulk states.In particle physics and condensed matter physics, the chiral zeroth Landau level plays a significant role in breaking chiral symmetry and gives rise to the chiral anomaly.Previous experimental works on such chiral Landau levels are mainly based on three-dimensional Weyl de
Record highs of meltwater production at the surface of the Greenland ice sheet have been recorded with a high recurrence over the last decades.Those melt seasons with longer durations, larger intensities, or with both increased length and melt intensity have a direct impact on the surface mass balance of the ice sheet and on its contribution to sea
