Illustration of cost density wave (CDW) and periodic lattice distortion (PLD) and their symmetries in 1T-TiSe2. The symmetry of the system as an entire can’t be greater than the intersection of the 2 symmetries. Because of this, the system turns into chiral, though neither CDW nor PLD is chiral by itself.

After a heart attack, aging adults face double or triple the risk of life-threatening complications — like a debilitating stroke or another heart attack — when they move forward with elective noncardiac surgeries too soon, according to new University of Rochester research published in JAMA Surgery. A deep dive into the Medicare database of 5.2 … Read more
A Northeastern professor has identified a suspected pathogen attacking reef building corals.
