Nuclear Spin Oscillator Based on 3He to Search for Exotic Spin Coupling

We describe an experimental investigation of a nuclear spin oscillator based on 3He nuclei as a possible detector to search for exotic spin couplings. A magnetically shielded vapor cell comprising an alkali atom mixture (95% potassium and 5% rubidium) and 3He gas is polarized via...

The p97 adaptor p47/NSFL1C is necessary for stress granule dissolution after heat stress

Abstract Stress granules form in response to diverse cellular perturbations to sequester translation components until the stress is resolved. Stress granules are composed of RNA–protein assemblies in membrane-delimited structures and must be rapidly disassembled to release compon...

Software & Its Workers: Teaching Software Engineering to Students for the Rentier Economy

Computer science (CS) students may aspire to many job titles post-graduation, from software engineer to platform architect. Yet likely absent is the term “worker,” which brings up ideas of more “blue collar” professions or even labor in a factory. What might it look like for CS m...
