TY - CONF AB - Bilayer graphene with ~ 1.1 degrees twist mismatch between the layers hosts a low energy flat band in which the Coulomb interaction is large relative to the bandwidth, promoting correlated insulating states at half band filling, and superconducting (SC) phases with dome-like structure neighboring correlated insulating states. Here we show measurements of a dual-graphite-gated twisted bilayer graphene device, which minimizes charge inhomogeneity. We observe new correlated phases, including for the first time a SC pocket near half-filling of the electron-doped band and resistive states at quarter-filling of both bands that emerge in a magnetic field. Changing the layer polarization with vertical electric field reveals an unexpected competition between SC and correlated insulator phases, which we interpret to result from differences in disorder of each graphene layer and underscores the spatial inhomogeneity like twist angle as a significant source of disorder in these devices [1].

Recently, Wei et al. (Science (2018)) demonstrated that spin waves can be electrically generated and detected in graphene heterojunctions, allowing direct experiment access to the spin degree of freedom. Here, we apply this technique to high quality graphite-gated graphene devices showing robust fractional quantum Hall phases and isospin phase transitions. We use an edgeless Corbino geometry to eliminate the contributions of edge states to the spin-wave mediated nonlocal voltage, allowing unambiguous identification of spin wave transport signatures. Our data reveal two phases within the ν = 1 plateau. For exactly ν=1, charge is localized but spin waves propagate freely while small carrier doping completely quenches the low-energy spin-wave transport, even as those charges remain localized. We identify this new phase as a spin textured electron solid. We also find that spin-wave transport is modulated by phase transitions in the valley order that preserve spin polarization, suggesting that this technique is sensitive to both spin and valley order.

The friendly competition took place as part of the workshop Applied Verification for Continuous and Hybrid Systems (ARCH) in 2019. In this third edition, six tools have been applied to solve five different benchmark problems in the category for piecewise constant dynamics: BACH, Lyse, Hy- COMP, PHAVer/SX, PHAVerLite, and VeriSiMPL. Compared to last year, a new tool has participated (HyCOMP) and PHAVerLite has replaced PHAVer-lite. The result is a snap- shot of the current landscape of tools and the types of benchmarks they are particularly suited for. Due to the diversity of problems, we are not ranking tools, yet the presented results probably provide the most complete assessment of tools for the safety verification of continuous and hybrid systems with piecewise constant dynamics up to this date.

The only organelle that does not turn over in these cells is the nucleus, and its maintenance represents a formidable challenge, as it harbors regulatory proteins that persist throughout adulthood. Here we developed strategies to visualize two classes of such long-lived proteins, histones and nucleoporins, to understand the function of protein longevity in nuclear maintenance. Genome-wide mapping of histones revealed specific enrichment of long-lived variants at silent gene loci. Interestingly, nuclear pores are maintained by piecemeal replacement of subunits, resulting in mosaic complexes composed of polypeptides with vastly different ages. In contrast, nondividing quiescent cells remove old nuclear pores in an ESCRT-dependent manner. Our findings reveal distinct molecular strategies of nuclear maintenance, linking lifelong protein persistence to gene regulation and nuclear integrity. AU - Toyama, Brandon H.

This nondividing state is characterized by extreme longevity and age-dependent decline of key regulatory proteins. To study the lifespans of cells and proteins in adult tissues, we combined isotope labeling of mice with a hybrid imaging method (MIMS-EM). Using 15N mapping, we show that liver and pancreas are composed of cells with vastly different ages, many as old as the animal. Strikingly, we also found that a subset of fibroblasts and endothelial cells, both known for their replicative potential, are characterized by the absence of cell division during adulthood. In addition, we show that the primary cilia of beta cells and neurons contains different structural regions with vastly different lifespans. Based on these results, we propose that age mosaicism across multiple scales is a fundamental principle of adult tissue, cell, and protein complex organization.
