The creation of silicene, a single-layer form of silicon, holds promise for advanced materials science, particularly in the fabrication of novel van der Waals heterostructures. Kejian Wang, Mathieu Abel, and Filippo Fabbri, alongside…

Introduction

The Flexner report, published over a century ago, continues to have a profound impact on the Health Professions Education Model (HPEM) today. The Health Professions Education Model (HPEM) represents a comprehensive framework that…

Navigating in a microgravity environment is a challenge even for trained human astronauts, but it is even more challenging for autonomous robots, limiting their use in places like a space station.

Now, however, Stanford researchers have used
