Magical Thinking01:29

Magical Thinking

226
Magical thinking encompasses the belief in assumptions that defy logical reasoning yet appear intuitively convincing. It is a common psychological phenomenon that persists across various cultural and individual contexts. While these assumptions contradict empirical evidence and scientific laws, they often serve meaningful psychological roles in promoting emotional resilience and a sense of control, especially under stress or uncertainty.Thought-Action Fusion and the Law of SimilarityA key...

Space Trusses01:25

Space Trusses

1.3K
A space truss is a three-dimensional counterpart of a planar truss. These structures consist of members connected at their ends, often utilizing ball-and-socket joints to create a stable and versatile framework. The space truss is widely used in various construction projects due to its adaptability and capacity to withstand complex loads.
At the core of a space truss lies the fundamental unit known as the tetrahedron. This structure is composed of six members that form a three-dimensional shape...

State Space Representation01:27

State Space Representation

610
The frequency-domain technique, commonly used in analyzing and designing feedback control systems, is effective for linear, time-invariant systems. However, it falls short when dealing with nonlinear, time-varying, and multiple-input multiple-output systems. The time-domain or state-space approach addresses these limitations by utilizing state variables to construct simultaneous, first-order differential equations, known as state equations, for an nth-order system.
Consider an RLC circuit, a...

Cluster Sampling Method01:20

Cluster Sampling Method

14.8K
Appropriate sampling methods ensure that samples are drawn without bias and accurately represent the population. Because measuring the entire population in a study is not practical, researchers use samples to represent the population of interest.
To choose a cluster sample, divide the population into clusters (groups) and then randomly select some of the clusters. All the members from these clusters are in the cluster sample. For example, if you randomly sample four departments from your...

Vesicular Tubular Clusters01:45

Vesicular Tubular Clusters

3.2K
After budding out from the ER membrane, some COPII vesicles lose their coat and fuse with one another to form larger vesicles and interconnected tubules called vesicular tubular clusters or VTCs. These clusters constitute a compartment at the ER-Golgi interface known as ERGIC (Endoplasmic Reticulum Golgi Intermediate Compartment). The ERGIC is a mobile membrane-bound cargo transport system that sorts proteins secreted from ER and delivers them to the Golgi.
With the help of motor proteins such...

A space truss is a three-dimensional counterpart of a planar truss. These structures consist of members connected at their ends, often utilizing ball-and-socket joints to create a stable and versatile framework. Due to its adaptability and capacity to withstand complex loads, the space truss is widely used in various construction projects.

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Condensed Matter Physics
  • Computational Chemistry

Background:

  • Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanoclusters exhibit unique edge properties.
  • Understanding edge atomic and electronic structures is crucial for novel material applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Investigate the interplay of edge electrons in S-saturated Mo-edge triangular MoS2 nanoclusters.
  • Identify the factors stabilizing these nanoclusters and their electronic behavior.

Main Methods:

  • Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were employed.
  • Analysis of edge atomic and electronic structures, including S2-p and Mo-d orbitals.

Main Results:

  • Edge electrons (S2-Πx and Mo-dxy) interplay to pin the S2-Πx Fermi wavenumber at kF = 2/5.
  • A ×5 Peierls edge S2 interdimer spacing modulation is induced, stabilizing specific nanocluster sizes (N = 5n-2 and 5n).
  • These stabilized nanoclusters are identified as magic MoS2 nanoclusters.

Conclusions:

  • The S2-Πx Peierls gap leads to far-edge semiconducting and subedge metallic behavior in MoS2 nanoclusters as size increases.
  • Magic MoS2 nanoclusters possess unique electronic properties due to stabilized edge structures.
