"content": "Abstract The liver is the most common site of metastatic disease 1 . Although this metastatic tropism may reflect the mechanical trapping of circulating tumour cells, liver metastasis is also dependent, at least in part, on the formation of a ‘pro-metastatic’ niche that supports the spread of tumour cells to the liver 2 , 3 . The mechanisms that direct the formation of this niche are poorly understood. Here we show that hepatocytes coordinate myeloid cell accumulation and fibrosis within the liver and, in doing so, increase the susceptibility of the liver to metastatic seeding and outgrowth. During early pancreatic tumorigenesis in mice, hepatocytes show activation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) signalling and increased production of serum amyloid A1 and A2 (referred to collectively as SAA). Overexpression of SAA by hepatocytes also occurs in patients with pancreatic and colorectal cancers that have metastasized to the liver, and many patients with locally advanced and metastatic disease show increases in circulating SAA. Activation of STAT3 in hepatocytes and the subsequent production of SAA depend on the release of interleukin 6 (IL-6) into the circulation by non-malignant cells. Genetic ablation or blockade of components of IL-6–STAT3–SAA signalling prevents the establishment of a pro-metastatic niche and inhibits liver metastasis. Our data identify an intercellular network underpinned by hepatocytes that forms the basis of a pro-metastatic niche in the liver, and identify new therapeutic targets. Main To understand the mechanisms that underlie the formation of a pro-metastatic niche in the liver, we used the LSL-Kras G12D /+ ;LSL-Trp53 R127H /+ ;Pdx1-cre (KPC) mouse model of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) 4 , 5 . We looked for features of a pro-metastatic niche in the livers of over-16-week-old tumour-bearing KPC mice and 8- to 10-week-old non-tumour-bearing (NTB) KPC control mice, which lack PDAC but harbour pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PanIN) 6 . Compared to control mice, the livers of KPC mice contained increased numbers of myeloid cells, accompanied by an increase in the deposition and expression of fibronectin and type I collagen (COL1) (Fig. 1a , Extended Data Fig. 1a–d ). Orthotopic implantation of KPC-derived PDAC cells into wild-type mice recapitulated these changes (Extended Data Fig. 1e–i ). As shown previously 7 , 8 , matrix deposition did not require myeloid cells (Extended Data Fig. 1j–l ). These results are consistent with evidence that myeloid cell accumulation and extracellular matrix deposition are key components of a pro-metastatic niche 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 .

Similar findings were observed using a YFP-negative KPC-derived cell line (Extended Data Fig. 2c, d ). Orthotopic implantation of PDAC cells also increased the susceptibility of the liver to metastatic colonization, and this finding was independent of the presence of CD4 + and CD8 + T cells (Extended Data Fig. 2e–s ). We next performed mRNA sequencing on RNA isolated from the livers of control and KPC mice.

Here, we introduce a monolithically integrated NMR-on-a-chip needle that combines an ultra-sensitive 300 µm NMR coil with a complete NMR transceiver, enabling in vivo measurements of blood oxygenation and flow in nanoliter volumes at a sampling rate of 200 Hz. Main Methods based on nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) are powerful analytical techniques in the life sciences, using nuclear spins as specific nanoscopic probes. Despite substantial advances in magnetic resonance (MR) hardware and methodology, NMR is still limited by its poor sensitivity (compared, for example, with optical methods), hindering in particular its use in the study of brain physiology and pathology. Recently, integrated circuit (IC)-based NMR systems have been introduced 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 to simplify the hardware complexity of MR experiments and to boost sensitivity. Integration of the MR detection coil with the transceiver on a single IC 4 , 5 laid the foundation for millimeter-size, sensitive MR systems for in situ and in vivo applications such as palm-size NMR spectrometry 1 and NMR spectroscopy of single cells 5 . Here, we present a monolithic needle-shaped NMR-on-a-chip transceiver (Fig. 1a,b ) that makes the advantages of IC-based NMR available for various applications in neuroscience. With its miniaturized on-chip coil, low-noise performance and compact, 450 µm-wide needle design, our NMR-on-a-chip transceiver simultaneously improves sensitivity as well as spatial and temporal resolution. In contrast to conventional microcoils 6 , 7 , the micrometer-scale interconnecting wires between the on-chip coil and the electronics combined with the fully differential design reduce the pickup of parasitic MR signals and electromagnetic interference.

This enables neuroscientists to gather precise data from minuscule areas of the brain and to combine them with information from spatial and temporal data of the brain´s physiology,\" explains principal investigator Klaus Scheffler. \"With this method, we can now better understand specific activity and functionalities in the brain.\" According to Scheffler and his group, their invention may unveil the possibility of discovering novel effects or typical fingerprints of neuronal activation, up to specific neuronal events in brain tissue. \"Our design setup will allow scalable solutions, meaning the possibility of expanding the collection of data from more than from a single area—but on the same device. The scalability of our approach will allow us to extend our platform by additional sensing modalities such as electrophysiological and optogenetic measurements,\" adds the second principal investigator Jens Anders. The teams of Scheffler and Anders are very confident that their technical approach may help demerge the complex physiologic processes within the neural networks of the brain and that it may uncover additional benefits that can provide even deeper insights into the functionality of the brain. With their primary goal to develop new techniques that are able to specifically probe the structural and biochemical composition of living brain tissue, their latest innovation paves the way for future highly specific and quantitative mapping techniques of neuronal activity and bioenergetic processes in the brain cells.

The group of researchers led by Klaus Scheffler from the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics and the University of Tübingen as well as by Jens Anders from the University of Stuttgart identified a technical bypass that bridges the electrophysical limits of contemporary brain scan methods. Their development of a capillary monolithic nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) needle combines the versatility of brain imaging with the accuracy of a very localized and fast technique to analyze the specific neuronal activity of the brain. "The integrated design of a nuclear magnetic resonance detector on a single chip supremely reduces the typical electromagnetic interference of magnetic resonance signals. This enables neuroscientists to gather precise data from minuscule areas of the brain and to combine them with information from spatial and temporal data of the brain´s physiology," explains principal investigator Klaus Scheffler. "With this method, we can now better understand specific activity and functionalities in the brain." According to Scheffler and his group, their invention may unveil the possibility of discovering novel effects or typical fingerprints of neuronal activation, up to specific neuronal events in brain tissue. "Our design setup will allow scalable solutions, meaning the possibility of expanding the collection of data from more than from a single area—but on the same device. The scalability of our approach will allow us to extend our platform by additional sensing modalities such as electrophysiological and optogenetic measurements," adds the second principal investigator Jens Anders. The teams of Scheffler and Anders are very confident that their technical approach may help demerge the complex physiologic processes within the neural networks of the brain and that it may uncover additional benefits that can provide even deeper insights into the functionality of the brain. With their primary goal to develop new techniques that are able to specifically probe the structural and biochemical composition of living brain tissue, their latest innovation paves the way for future highly specific and quantitative mapping techniques of neuronal activity and bioenergetic processes in the brain cells. <|im_end|>

"content": "Abstract Clonal haematopoiesis involves the expansion of certain blood cell lineages and has been associated with ageing and adverse health outcomes 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 . Here we use exome sequence data on 628,388 individuals to identify 40,208 carriers of clonal haematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP). Using genome-wide and exome-wide association analyses, we identify 24 loci (21 of which are novel) where germline genetic variation influences predisposition to CHIP, including missense variants in the lymphocytic antigen coding gene LY75 , which are associated with reduced incidence of CHIP. We also identify novel rare variant associations with clonal haematopoiesis and telomere length. Analysis of 5,041 health traits from the UK Biobank (UKB) found relationships between CHIP and severe COVID-19 outcomes, cardiovascular disease, haematologic traits, malignancy, smoking, obesity, infection and all-cause mortality. Longitudinal and Mendelian randomization analyses revealed that CHIP is associated with solid cancers, including non-melanoma skin cancer and lung cancer, and that CHIP linked to DNMT3A is associated with the subsequent development of myeloid but not lymphoid leukaemias. Additionally, contrary to previous findings from the initial 50,000 UKB exomes 6 , our results in the full sample do not support a role for IL-6 inhibition in reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease among CHIP carriers. Our findings demonstrate that CHIP represents a complex set of heterogeneous phenotypes with shared and unique germline genetic causes and varied clinical implications. Main As humans age, somatic alterations accrue in the DNA of haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) due to mitotic errors and DNA damage. Alterations that confer a selective growth advantage can lead to the expansion of particular cell lineages, a phenomenon called clonal haematopoiesis. The presence of clonal haematopoiesis has been associated with an increased risk of haematological neoplasms, cytopaenias, cardiovascular disease (CVD), infection and all-cause mortality 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 . For this reason, identifying germline causes of clonal haematopoiesis has the potential to improve our understanding of initiating events in the development of these common diseases. Large-scale studies of the germline causes of clonal haematopoiesis have used samples from the UKB and other large cohorts, but those studies have been limited mostly to clonal haematopoiesis phenotypes that can be assessed using single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array genotype data, such as mosaic chromosomal alternations (mCA) and mosaic loss of sex chromosomes 4 , 7 , 8 (mLOX and mLOY). Identifying individuals with CHIP, which is defined by somatic protein-altering mutations in genes that are recurrently mutated in clonal haematopoiesis, requires sequencing of blood 1 , 2 . Once a clone has expanded sufficiently, the somatic variants from this clone can be captured along with germline variants by exome sequencing. Since exome sequencing captures protein-altering variants, its large-scale application enables the detection of readily interpretable rare variant association signals, and can elucidate critical genes and pathways and potential therapeutic targeting 9 , 10 . So far, the largest genetic association study of CHIP has included 3,831 CHIP mutation carriers in a sample of 65,405 individuals and has identified four common variant loci 11 . Here, we use exome sequencing data to characterize CHIP status in 454,803 UKB 10 and 173,585 Geisinger MyCode Community Health Initiative (GHS) participants. We then conduct a common variant genome-wide association study (GWAS) and rare variant and gene burden exome-wide association study (ExWAS) of CHIP by leveraging 27,331 CHIP mutation carriers from the UKB. We perform a replication analysis using 12,877 CHIP mutation carriers from the GHS cohort. To identify germline predictors of specific clonal haematopoiesis driver mutations, we also conduct GWAS and ExWAS in carriers of CHIP mutations from individual CHIP genes. We then compare genetic association findings for CHIP to those from analyses of other clonal haematopoiesis phenotypes determined from somatic alterations in the blood, including mCA, mLOX, mLOY and telomere length. Although GWAS of these non-CHIP clonal haematopoiesis phenotypes have been conducted 4 , 7 , 12 , none have evaluated the effect of rare variation. The ExWAS we perform here represents the first systematic large-scale exploration of the effect of rare variants on the genetic susceptibility of these phenotypes. Finally, we examine the clinical consequences of somatic CHIP mutations and germline predictors of CHIP in several ways. We first conduct a PheWAS 13 of germline predictors of CHIP to understand their biological functions, and test cross-sectional phenotype associations of CHIP carrier status across 5,194 traits in the UKB.

Abstract Clonal haematopoiesis involves the expansion of certain blood cell lineages and has been associated with ageing and adverse health outcomes 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 . Here we use exome sequence data on 628,388 individuals to identify 40,208 carriers of clonal haematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP). Using genome-wide and exome-wide association analyses, we identify 24 loci (21 of which are novel) where germline genetic variation influences predisposition to CHIP, including missense variants in the lymphocytic antigen coding gene LY75 , which are associated with reduced incidence of CHIP. We also identify novel rare variant associations with clonal haematopoiesis and telomere length. Analysis of 5,041 health traits from the UK Biobank (UKB) found relationships between CHIP and severe COVID-19 outcomes, cardiovascular disease, haematologic traits, malignancy, smoking, obesity, infection and all-cause mortality. Longitudinal and Mendelian randomization analyses revealed that CHIP is associated with solid cancers, including non-melanoma skin cancer and lung cancer, and that CHIP linked to DNMT3A is associated with the subsequent development of myeloid but not lymphoid leukaemias. Additionally, contrary to previous findings from the initial 50,000 UKB exomes 6 , our results in the full sample do not support a role for IL-6 inhibition in reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease among CHIP carriers. Our findings demonstrate that CHIP represents a complex set of heterogeneous phenotypes with shared and unique germline genetic causes and varied clinical implications. Main As humans age, somatic alterations accrue in the DNA of haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) due to mitotic errors and DNA damage. Alterations that confer a selective growth advantage can lead to the expansion of particular cell lineages, a phenomenon called clonal haematopoiesis. The presence of clonal haematopoiesis has been associated with an increased risk of haematological neoplasms, cytopaenias, cardiovascular disease (CVD), infection and all-cause mortality 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 . For this reason, identifying germline causes of clonal haematopoiesis has the potential to improve our understanding of initiating events in the development of these common diseases. Large-scale studies of the germline causes of clonal haematopoiesis have used samples from the UKB and other large cohorts, but those studies have been limited mostly to clonal haematopoiesis phenotypes that can be assessed using single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array genotype data, such as mosaic chromosomal alternations (mCA) and mosaic loss of sex chromosomes 4 , 7 , 8 (mLOX and mLOY). Identifying individuals with CHIP, which is defined by somatic protein-altering mutations in genes that are recurrently mutated in clonal haematopoiesis, requires sequencing of blood 1 , 2 . Once a clone has expanded sufficiently, the somatic variants from this clone can be captured along with germline variants by exome sequencing. Since exome sequencing captures protein-altering variants, its large-scale application enables the detection of readily interpretable rare variant association signals, and can elucidate critical genes and pathways and potential therapeutic targeting 9 , 10 . So far, the largest genetic association study of CHIP has included 3,831 CHIP mutation carriers in a sample of 65,405 individuals and has identified four common variant loci 11 .

"content": "Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic triggered a surge in demand for facemasks to protect against disease transmission. In response to shortages, many public health authorities have recommended homemade masks as acceptable alternatives to surgical masks and N95 respirators. Although mask wearing is intended, in part, to protect others from exhaled, virus-containing particles, few studies have examined particle emission by mask-wearers into the surrounding air. Here, we measured outward emissions of micron-scale aerosol particles by healthy humans performing various expiratory activities while wearing different types of medical-grade or homemade masks. Both surgical masks and unvented KN95 respirators, even without fit-testing, reduce the outward particle emission rates by 90% and 74% on average during speaking and coughing, respectively, compared to wearing no mask, corroborating their effectiveness at reducing outward emission. These masks similarly decreased the outward particle emission of a coughing superemitter, who for unclear reasons emitted up to two orders of magnitude more expiratory particles via coughing than average. In contrast, shedding of non-expiratory micron-scale particulates from friable cellulosic fibers in homemade cotton-fabric masks confounded explicit determination of their efficacy at reducing expiratory particle emission. Audio analysis of the speech and coughing intensity confirmed that people speak more loudly, but do not cough more loudly, when wearing a mask. Further work is needed to establish the efficacy of cloth masks at blocking expiratory particles for speech and coughing at varied intensity and to assess whether virus-contaminated fabrics can generate aerosolized fomites, but the results strongly corroborate the efficacy of medical-grade masks and highlight the importance of regular washing of homemade masks. Introduction Airborne transmission of infectious respiratory diseases involves the emission of microorganism-containing aerosols and droplets during various expiratory activities (e.g., breathing, talking, coughing, and sneezing). Transmission of viruses in emitted droplets and aerosols to susceptible individuals may occur via physical contact after deposition on surfaces, reaerosolization after deposition, direct deposition of emitted droplets on mucosal surfaces (e.g., mouth, eyes), or direct inhalation of virus-laden aerosols 1 , 2 . Uncertainty remains regarding the role and spatial scale of these different transmission modes (contact, droplet spray, or aerosol inhalation) for specific respiratory diseases, including for COVID-19 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , in particular settings, but airborne transmission stems from the initial expiratory emission of aerosols or droplets. Consequently, the wearing of masks—in addition to vigilant hand hygiene—has been put forth as a means to mitigate disease transmission, especially in healthcare settings 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 . Much research has indicated that masks can provide significant protection to the wearer, although proper mask fitting is critical to realizing such benefits 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 . Alternatively, masks can potentially reduce outward transmission by infected individuals, providing protection to others 7 , 16 , 17 . There have been indications of asymptomatic carriers of COVID-19 infecting others 18 , 19 , 20 , leading to increasing, albeit inconsistent 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , calls for more universal wearing of masks or face coverings by the general public to help control disease transmission during pandemics. It is therefore important to understand the efficacy of masks and face coverings of different types in reducing outward transmission of aerosols and droplets from expiratory activities. Results from epidemiological and clinical studies assessing the effectiveness of masks in reducing disease transmission suggest that mask wearing can provide some benefits 10 , 11 , especially with early interventions, but often the results lack statistical significance 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 . Laboratory studies provide another means to assess or infer mask effectiveness. Measurement of material filtration efficiencies can provide initial guidance on potential mask effectiveness for preventing outward transmission 15 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , but do not directly address mask performance when worn. Early photographic evidence indicates masks can limit the spread of cough-generated particles 36 . Measurements using simulated breathing with an artificial test head showed the concentration of particles between 0.02 μm-1 μm decreases across masks of different types 37 . Also using simulated breathing, Green et al. 38 found surgical masks effectively reduced outward transmission of endospores and vegetative cells, with seemingly greater reduction of particles > 0.7 μm compared to smaller particles. Using volunteers, Davies et al. 32 found that surgical and home-made cotton masks substantially reduce emission of culturable microorganisms from coughing by healthy volunteers, with similar reduction observed over a range of particle sizes (from 0.65 μm to > 7 μm). Milton et al. 16 found that surgical masks substantially reduced viral copy numbers in exhaled “fine” aerosol (≤ 5 μm) and “coarse” droplets (> 5 μm) from volunteers having influenza, with greater reduction in the coarse fraction. This result differs somewhat from very recent measurements by Leung et al. 13 , who showed a statistically significant reduction in shedding of influenza from breathing in coarse but not fine particles with participants wearing surgical masks. They did, however, find that masks reduced shedding of seasonal coronavirus from breathing for both coarse and fine particles, although viral RNA was observed in less than half of the samples even with no mask, complicating the assessment. The above studies all indicate a strong potential for masks to help reduce transmission of respiratory illnesses. To date, however, none have investigated the effectiveness of masks across a range of expiratory activities, and limited consideration has been given to different mask types. Furthermore, no studies to date have considered the masks themselves as potential sources of aerosol particles. It is well established that fibrous cellulosic materials, like cotton and paper, can release large quantities of micron-scale particles (i.e., dust) into the air 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 . Traditionally, these particles have not been considered a potential concern for respiratory viral diseases like influenza or now COVID-19, since these diseases have been thought to be transmitted via expiratory particles emitted directly from the respiratory tract of infected individuals 43 .

"content": "Abstract The inertial sliding of physisorbed submonolayer islands on crystal surfaces contains unexpected information on the exceptionally smooth sliding state associated with incommensurate superlubricity and on the mechanisms of its disappearance. Here, in a joint quartz crystal microbalance and molecular dynamics simulation case study of Xe on Cu(111), we show how superlubricity emerges in the large size limit of naturally incommensurate Xe islands. As coverage approaches a full monolayer, theory also predicts an abrupt adhesion-driven two-dimensional density compression on the order of several per cent, implying a hysteretic jump from superlubric free islands to a pressurized commensurate immobile monolayer. This scenario is fully supported by the quartz crystal microbalance data, which show remarkably large slip times with increasing submonolayer coverage, signalling superlubricity, followed by a dramatic drop to zero for the dense commensurate monolayer. Careful analysis of this variety of island sliding phenomena will be essential in future applications of friction at crystal/adsorbate interfaces. Main Systems achieving low values of dry sliding friction are of great physical and, potentially, technological interest 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 . Superlubricity—the vanishing of static friction—and the consequent ultra-low dynamic friction between crystal faces that are sufficiently hard and mutually incommensurate 5 , 6 , is experimentally rare and has been demonstrated or implied in only a relatively small number of cases, including telescopic sliding among carbon nanotubes 7 , 8 , sliding graphite flakes on a graphite substrate 9 , 10 , 11 , cluster nanomanipulation 12 , 13 and sliding colloidal layers 14 , 15 . It is essential that we increase the understanding of this phenomenon and, in view of potential nanotechnology applications, examine new and more generic systems beyond these. Submonolayer islands of rare gas atoms adsorbed on crystal surfaces offer an excellent platform to address friction at crystalline interfaces. Despite much experimental 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 and theoretical 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 work, superlubricity is a phenomenon that remains poorly explored in such systems. In the submonolayer range (0 < θ < 1, where θ is the coverage) and at low temperatures, adsorbate phase diagrams versus coverage θ are well known to display phase-separated two-dimensional (2D) solid islands, usually incommensurate with the surface lattice, coexisting with the 2D adatom vapour 28 , 29 . Using a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM), the inertial sliding friction of these islands is measured by the inverse of the slip time τ s = (1/4π)[δ( Q −1 )/δ f ], the ratio of the adsorbate-induced change in inverse quality factor over the respective change in the substrate oscillation frequency 30 . The peak of the inertial force acting on an island deposited on the QCM is expressed as F in = ρ isl SA (2π f ) 2 (where ρ isl is the 2D density at the centre of an adsorbed island of area S , and A and f are the oscillation amplitude and frequency, respectively), and equals the viscous frictional force F visc = Mv / τ s, (where M is the mass of the island and v is speed). This means that superlubricity should indirectly show up as an unusually large slip time. For over two decades, QCM work has shown that physisorbed atoms or molecules condense and generally slide above a submonolayer coverage θ sf , and τ s may typically reach values from hundreds of picoseconds to a nanosecond. These results 17 , 19 , 30 and the corresponding pioneering atomistic simulations 23 , 31 have provided much valuable initial information about the temperature and system dependence of inertial friction. So far, however, crucial aspects that specifically address the island structure of the adsorbate, the edge-originated pinning and in particular the change in commensurability and superlubricity with coverage (issues that, in our view, are important to nanofriction) have not yet come under scrutiny. Here, we present a joint experimental and theoretical study of the sliding of adsorbate islands on a crystalline substrate, and reveal surprising information about the exceptionally easy sliding suggestive of superlubricity, about its limiting factors (caused by edges and defects), and its eventual spontaneous demise at full coverage. Our chosen example is physisorbed Xe on Cu(111), a system for which the phase diagram is well studied (as is the case for other rare gas adsorbates on graphite and metal surfaces) 28 . Between ∼ 50 and 90 K, Xe monolayers condense on Cu(111) as a commensurate 2D solid. We conventionally designate this as unit coverage θ = 1, characterized by a density where is the commensurate adatom spacing. Low-energy electron diffraction at 50 K locates the Xe atoms on top of surface Cu atoms 32 , the planar distance ( a 0 ) of which is close to the Xe–Xe spacing in bulk Xe ( a Xe = 0.439 nm). At lower temperatures, the full Xe monolayer is known from surface extended X-ray measurements to shrink into an ‘overdense’ ( ρ > ρ 0 ) incommensurate structure, reaching commensurability only at 50 K following thermal expansion 33 . Conversely, the 2D atom density in Xe monatomic islands, which coexist with the adatom 2D vapour at submonolayer coverage, is not specifically known, but is often assumed to be equal to ρ 0 . Our results in fact show that the 2D crystalline Xe islands ( θ < 1) are slightly ‘underdense’ ( ρ isl < ρ 0 ) and increasingly incommensurate with thermal expansion, reaching a 2D density 4% below ρ 0 near 50 K. In this incommensurate state, the 2D lattice inside the Xe islands should slide superlubrically over the Cu(111) substrate, as expected for a ‘hard’ slider. Indeed, even though the Xe–Xe attraction V Xe−Xe ≈ 20 meV is an order of magnitude smaller than the Xe–Cu(111) adhesion energy E a ≈ 190 meV (ref. 28 ), it is an order of magnitude larger, and thus harder, than the weak Cu(111) surface corrugation, E c ≈ 1–2 meV (ref.",

"content": "It's possible to vary (even dramatically) the sliding properties of atoms on a surface by changing the size and \"compression\" of their aggregates: an experimental and theoretical study conducted with the collaboration of SISSA, the Istituto Officina dei Materiali of the CNR (Iom-Cnr-Democritos), ICTP in Trieste, the University of Padua, the University of Modena e Reggio Emilia, and the Istituto Nanoscienze of the CNR (Nano-Cnr) in Modena, has just been published in Nature Nanotechnology. (Nano)islands that slide freely on a sea of copper, but when they become too large (and too dense) they end up getting stuck: that nicely sums up the system investigated in a study just published in Nature Nanotechnology. \"We can suddenly switch from a state of superlubricity to one of extremely high friction by varying some parameters of the system being investigated. In this study, we used atoms of the noble gas xenon bound to one another to form two-dimensional islands, deposited on a copper surface (Cu 111).

Abstract The inertial sliding of physisorbed submonolayer islands on crystal surfaces contains unexpected information on the exceptionally smooth sliding state associated with incommensurate superlubricity and on the mechanisms of its disappearance. Here, in a joint quartz crystal microbalance and molecular dynamics simulation case study of Xe on Cu(111), we show how superlubricity emerges in the large size limit of naturally incommensurate Xe islands. As coverage approaches a full monolayer, theory also predicts an abrupt adhesion-driven two-dimensional density compression on the order of several per cent, implying a hysteretic jump from superlubric free islands to a pressurized commensurate immobile monolayer. This scenario is fully supported by the quartz crystal microbalance data, which show remarkably large slip times with increasing submonolayer coverage, signalling superlubricity, followed by a dramatic drop to zero for the dense commensurate monolayer. Careful analysis of this variety of island sliding phenomena will be essential in future applications of friction at crystal/adsorbate interfaces. Main Systems achieving low values of dry sliding friction are of great physical and, potentially, technological interest 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 . Superlubricity—the vanishing of static friction—and the consequent ultra-low dynamic friction between crystal faces that are sufficiently hard and mutually incommensurate 5 , 6 , is experimentally rare and has been demonstrated or implied in only a relatively small number of cases, including telescopic sliding among carbon nanotubes 7 , 8 , sliding graphite flakes on a graphite substrate 9 , 10 , 11 , cluster nanomanipulation 12 , 13 and sliding colloidal layers 14 , 15 . It is essential that we increase the understanding of this phenomenon and, in view of potential nanotechnology applications, examine new and more generic systems beyond these. Submonolayer islands of rare gas atoms adsorbed on crystal surfaces offer an excellent platform to address friction at crystalline interfaces. Despite much experimental 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 and theoretical 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 work, superlubricity is a phenomenon that remains poorly explored in such systems. In the submonolayer range (0 < θ < 1, where θ is the coverage) and at low temperatures, adsorbate phase diagrams versus coverage θ are well known to display phase-separated two-dimensional (2D) solid islands, usually incommensurate with the surface lattice, coexisting with the 2D adatom vapour 28 , 29 . Using a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM), the inertial sliding friction of these islands is measured by the inverse of the slip time τ s = (1/4π)[δ( Q −1 )/δ f ], the ratio of the adsorbate-induced change in inverse quality factor over the respective change in the substrate oscillation frequency 30 . The peak of the inertial force acting on an island deposited on the QCM is expressed as F in = ρ isl SA (2π f ) 2 (where ρ isl is the 2D density at the centre of an adsorbed island of area S , and A and f are the oscillation amplitude and frequency, respectively), and equals the viscous frictional force F visc = Mv / τ s, (where M is the mass of the island and v is speed). This means that superlubricity should indirectly show up as an unusually large slip time. For over two decades, QCM work has shown that physisorbed atoms or molecules condense and generally slide above a submonolayer coverage θ sf , and τ s may typically reach values from hundreds of picoseconds to a nanosecond. These results 17 , 19 , 30 and the corresponding pioneering atomistic simulations 23 , 31 have provided much valuable initial information about the temperature and system dependence of inertial friction. So far, however, crucial aspects that specifically address the island structure of the adsorbate, the edge-originated pinning and in particular the change in commensurability and superlubricity with coverage (issues that, in our view, are important to nanofriction) have not yet come under scrutiny. Here, we present a joint experimental and theoretical study of the sliding of adsorbate islands on a crystalline substrate, and reveal surprising information about the exceptionally easy sliding suggestive of superlubricity, about its limiting factors (caused by edges and defects), and its eventual spontaneous demise at full coverage. Our chosen example is physisorbed Xe on Cu(111), a system for which the phase diagram is well studied (as is the case for other rare gas adsorbates on graphite and metal surfaces) 28 . Between ∼ 50 and 90 K, Xe monolayers condense on Cu(111) as a commensurate 2D solid. We conventionally designate this as unit coverage θ = 1, characterized by a density where is the commensurate adatom spacing. Low-energy electron diffraction at 50 K locates the Xe atoms on top of surface Cu atoms 32 , the planar distance ( a 0 ) of which is close to the Xe–Xe spacing in bulk Xe ( a Xe = 0.439 nm). At lower temperatures, the full Xe monolayer is known from surface extended X-ray measurements to shrink into an ‘overdense’ ( ρ > ρ 0 ) incommensurate structure, reaching commensurability only at 50 K following thermal expansion 33 . Conversely, the 2D atom density in Xe monatomic islands, which coexist with the adatom 2D vapour at submonolayer coverage, is not specifically known, but is often assumed to be equal to ρ 0 . Our results in fact show that the 2D crystalline Xe islands ( θ < 1) are slightly ‘underdense’ ( ρ isl < ρ 0 ) and increasingly incommensurate with thermal expansion, reaching a 2D density 4% below ρ 0 near 50 K. In this incommensurate state, the 2D lattice inside the Xe islands should slide superlubrically over the Cu(111) substrate, as expected for a ‘hard’ slider. Indeed, even though the Xe–Xe attraction V Xe−Xe ≈ 20 meV is an order of magnitude smaller than the Xe–Cu(111) adhesion energy E a ≈ 190 meV (ref. 28 ), it is an order of magnitude larger, and thus harder, than the weak Cu(111) surface corrugation, E c ≈ 1–2 meV (ref.<|im_end|>

It's possible to vary (even dramatically) the sliding properties of atoms on a surface by changing the size and "compression" of their aggregates: an experimental and theoretical study conducted with the collaboration of SISSA, the Istituto Officina dei Materiali of the CNR (Iom-Cnr-Democritos), ICTP in Trieste, the University of Padua, the University of Modena e Reggio Emilia, and the Istituto Nanoscienze of the CNR (Nano-Cnr) in Modena, has just been published in Nature Nanotechnology. (Nano)islands that slide freely on a sea of copper, but when they become too large (and too dense) they end up getting stuck: that nicely sums up the system investigated in a study just published in Nature Nanotechnology. "We can suddenly switch from a state of superlubricity to one of extremely high friction by varying some parameters of the system being investigated. In this study, we used atoms of the noble gas xenon bound to one another to form two-dimensional islands, deposited on a copper surface (Cu 111). At low temperatures these aggregates slide with virtually no friction," explains Giampaolo Mistura of the University of Padua. "We increased the size of the islands by adding xenon atoms and until the whole available surface was covered the friction decreased gradually. Instead, when the available space ran out and the addition of atoms caused the islands to compress, then we saw an exceptional increase in friction." The study was divided into an experimental part (mainly carried out by the University of Padua and Nano-Cnr/University of Modena and Reggio Emilia) and a theoretical part (based on computer models and simulations) conducted by SISSA/Iom-Cnr-Democritos/ICTP. "To understand what happens when the islands are compressed, we need to appreciate the concept of 'interface commensurability'," explains Roberto Guerra, researcher at the International School for Advanced Studies (SISSA) in Trieste and among the authors of the study. "We can think of the system we studied as one made up of Lego bricks.

"content": "Abstract Objective To evaluate if induction of labour at 41 weeks improves perinatal and maternal outcomes in women with a low risk pregnancy compared with expectant management and induction of labour at 42 weeks. Design Multicentre, open label, randomised controlled superiority trial. Setting 14 hospitals in Sweden, 2016-18. Participants 2760 women with a low risk uncomplicated singleton pregnancy randomised (1:1) by the Swedish Pregnancy Register. 1381 women were assigned to the induction group and 1379 were assigned to the expectant management group. Interventions Induction of labour at 41 weeks and expectant management and induction of labour at 42 weeks. Main outcome measures The primary outcome was a composite perinatal outcome including one or more of stillbirth, neonatal mortality, Apgar score less than 7 at five minutes, pH less than 7.00 or metabolic acidosis (pH <7.05 and base deficit >12 mmol/L) in the umbilical artery, hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy, intracranial haemorrhage, convulsions, meconium aspiration syndrome, mechanical ventilation within 72 hours, or obstetric brachial plexus injury. Primary analysis was by intention to treat. Results The study was stopped early owing to a significantly higher rate of perinatal mortality in the expectant management group. The composite primary perinatal outcome did not differ between the groups: 2.4% (33/1381) in the induction group and 2.2% (31/1379) in the expectant management group (relative risk 1.06, 95% confidence interval 0.65 to 1.73; P=0.90). No perinatal deaths occurred in the induction group but six (five stillbirths and one early neonatal death) occurred in the expectant management group (P=0.03). The proportion of caesarean delivery, instrumental vaginal delivery, or any major maternal morbidity did not differ between the groups. Conclusions This study comparing induction of labour at 41 weeks with expectant management and induction at 42 weeks does not show any significant difference in the primary composite adverse perinatal outcome. However, a reduction of the secondary outcome perinatal mortality is observed without increasing adverse maternal outcomes. Although these results should be interpreted cautiously, induction of labour ought to be offered to women no later than at 41 weeks and could be one (of few) interventions that reduces the rate of stillbirths. Trial registration Current Controlled Trials ISRCTN26113652 . Introduction Adverse perinatal outcomes gradually increase after 40 gestational weeks and are substantially increased post-term (≥42 weeks (≥294 days)). 1 2 The risk of stillbirth has been shown to increase after term, 1 2 3 4 5 and worldwide as much as 14% of stillbirths are associated with prolonged pregnancy. 2 Furthermore, maternal complications also increase with duration of pregnancy after 40 weeks. 1 To date, no agreement exists on how to manage late term (41 weeks+0 days to 42 weeks+0 days) pregnancies. The World Health Organization recommends induction of labour at 41 weeks, 6 and many countries offer induction of labour between 41 and 42 weeks to avoid prolonged pregnancy. 7 8 Randomised controlled trials have compared induction of labour with expectant management in prolonged pregnancies, most with inconclusive results for perinatal mortality and major morbidity. 9 The results from the latest Cochrane review (2018) showed lower rates of caesarean delivery and perinatal death but a higher rate of operative vaginal delivery in the induction group compared with the expectant management group. 9 After the latest Cochrane review and after the initiation of the present study, 10 two large randomised controlled trials examining low risk pregnancies have been published. A large trial from the United States, ARRIVE (A Randomized Trial of Induction Versus Expectant Management), compared induction of labour in nulliparous women at 39 weeks+0 days to 39 weeks+4 days with expectant management until 41 weeks+0 days. 11 No significant difference was found in perinatal outcome between groups, whereas the frequency of caesarean delivery was significantly lower in the early induction group. Another large recent trial from the Netherlands, INDEX (INDuction of labour at 41 weeks with a policy of EXpectant management until 42 weeks), compared induction of labour at 41 weeks+0 days to 41 weeks+1 day with expectant management until 42 weeks+0 days. 12 The results could not confirm non-inferiority for adverse perinatal outcome of expectant management, instead a significantly higher risk of adverse perinatal outcome was found in the expectant management group. No significant difference in the rate of caesarean delivery was found. The current practice in many centres in the United Kingdom and Scandinavia is to induce delivery no later than 42 weeks, but several studies suggest that the risk of perinatal mortality and morbidity has actually already increased significantly at 41 weeks. 3 4 5 The risk of stillbirth increases gradually from 39 weeks of gestation 13 and increases exponentially as the pregnancy approaches 42 weeks, 3-5 13 whereas the risk of neonatal mortality is not increased until 42 weeks according to most studies. 3-5 13 We therefore found it clinically justified to compare induction of labour at 41 weeks with expectant management and induction at 42 weeks for maternal and perinatal outcomes. At the start of the present trial, only two studies (one was an abstract) out of 30 included in the Cochrane review specifically compared induction of labour at 41 weeks with expectant management until 42 weeks. 14 15 We evaluated if induction of labour at 41 weeks+0-2 days compared with expectant management and induction of labour at 42 weeks+0-1 days was superior in terms of perinatal outcome in healthy women with a low risk pregnancy. Methods Study design SWEPIS (SWEdish Post-term Induction Study) was a multicentre, open label, randomised controlled superiority trial conducted in Sweden from May 2016 to October 2018. The trial was register based, with randomisation and most data collection done by using the Swedish Pregnancy Register. 16 Fourteen hospitals with antenatal clinics linked to the register were involved in the trial. Five of the hospitals were university clinics and nine were county hospitals comprising about 60 000 deliveries per year of the around 115 000 to 120 000 annual deliveries in Sweden. The trial was conducted according to the CONSORT guidelines. The protocol is available online ( ) and as a publication.",

It is generally accepted that there is an increased risk of problems (\"adverse perinatal outcomes\") for both mother and baby at or beyond 42 weeks of pregnancy. Some studies have suggested that inducing labour from 41 weeks onwards improves these outcomes, but there is no international consensus on how to manage healthy pregnancies lasting more than 41 weeks. Current practice in the UK and Scandinavia is to induce delivery for all women who have not gone into labour by 42 weeks. So researchers in Sweden set out to compare induction of labour at 41 weeks with expectant management until 42 weeks in low risk pregnancies. The trial involved 2,760 women (average age 31 years) with an uncomplicated, single pregnancy recruited from 14 Swedish hospitals between 2016 and 2018. Women were randomly assigned to induction of labour at 41 weeks (1,381) or expectant management (1,379) until induction at 42 weeks if necessary. The main outcome was a combined measure of babies' health, including stillbirth or death in the first few days of life (known as perinatal death), Apgar score less than 7 at five minutes, low oxygen levels, and breathing problems. Other outcomes included admission to an intensive care baby unit, Apgar score less than 4 at five minutes, birth weight, pneumonia, or sepsis. Type of delivery and mothers' health just after giving birth were also assessed. For the main outcome measure, the researchers found no difference between the groups (2.4% of women in the induction group had an adverse perinatal outcome compared with 2.2% in the expectant management group). Other outcomes, such as caesarean sections and mothers' health after giving birth, also did not differ between the groups. However, six babies in the expectant management group died compared with none in the induction group, and the trial was stopped early. The researchers estimate that, for every 230 women induced at 41 weeks, one perinatal death would be prevented. They point to some limitations, such as differences in hospital policies and practices, that could have affected the results. But they say women with low risk pregnancies \"should be informed of the risk profile of induction of labour versus expectant management and offered induction of labour no later than at 41 full weeks. This could be one (of few) interventions that reduces stillbirth,\" they conclude. This view is supported in a linked editorial by Professor Sara Kenyon and colleagues, who say induction at 41 weeks \"looks like the safer option for women and their babies.\" They stress that choice is important within maternity care, and say \"clear information about available options should be accessible to all pregnant women, enabling them to make fully informed and timely decisions.\" ",
