High-Tc 2D ambient BCS superconductors in hydrogenated transition-metal borides
Crystal structures
The crystal structure of the M2B2H4 monolayer is illustrated in Fig. 1. Layered M2B2H4 adopts a 3D hexagonal structure with a space group symmetry of P6/mmm, analogous to Mg2B2. Figure 1 presents the side view and top view of…

Quantum-data-driven dynamical transition in quantum learning
Overview of results
Given a QNN \(\hat{U}({\boldsymbol{\theta }})\) with L variational parameters θ = (θ1, …, θL), we consider a supervised learning task involving N quantum data \({\{\vert {\psi }_{\alpha }\rangle \}}_{\alpha = 1}^{N}\),…

Nuclear-weapons risks are back — and we need to act like it
At a time of growing catastrophic risks posed by climate change, pandemics and advances in artificial intelligence (AI), and more than 30 years after the end of the cold war, many people consider nuclear weapons to be relics of the twentieth…

Green synthesis of Mn-doped iron oxide nanoparticles using sugarcane juice for magnetic hyperthermia applications
Structural studies
The sugarcane juice (ScJ)-mediated synthesis of pure and Mn-doped iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) with Mn concentrations of 0%, 5%, and 9% was confirmed by x-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis (Fig. 1a). The observed diffraction…
