Study Achieves Highest Opto-Electronic Spin Polarization at Room Temperature
Written by AZoOpticsApr 9 2021
The use of information technology in which the spin of electrons is used for information processing in quantum computers might be possible in the future. For a long time, this has been the aim of researchers to use spin-based quantum information technology at ambient temperature.

Now, scientists from Sweden, Finland and Japan have built a semiconductor component where information can be efficiently exchanged between light and electron spin at ambient temperature and above.
The fact that electrons feature a negative charge is well known, and they also exhibit another property called spin. The latter might be instrumental in the development of information technology. In simple terms, the electron can be visualized to rotate around its own axis, analogous to how the Earth rotates aro

Abstract
Alternative mRNA isoforms play a key role in generating diverse protein isoforms. To dissect isoform usage in the subcellular compartments of single cells, we introduced an novel approach, nanopore sequencing coupled with single-cell integrated nuclear and cytoplasmic RNA sequencing, that couples microfluidic fractionation, which separates cytoplasmic RNA from nuclear RNA, with full-length complementary DNA (cDNA) sequencing using a nanopore sequencer. Leveraging full-length cDNA reads, we found that the nuclear transcripts are notably more diverse than cytoplasmic transcripts. Our findings also indicated that transcriptional noise emanating from the nucleus is regulated across the nuclear membrane and then either attenuated or amplified in the cytoplasm depending on the function involved. Overall, our results provide the landscape that shows how the transcriptional noise arising from the nucleus propagates to the cytoplasm.

Abstract:
Nanographene is flexible, yet stronger than steel. With unique physical and electronic properties, the material consists of carbon molecules only one atom thick arranged in a honeycomb shape. Still early in technological development, current fabrication methods require the addition of substituents to obtain a uniform material. Additive-free methods result in flimsy, breakable fibers until now.
