A diagram of green lines making a path among blue and red lines
Sunghoon Kim As the experimentalists changed the electric field, it is likely that different parts of the material underwent the metal-to-insulator transition at different values of the electric field because of a small number of inherent imperfections. Consequently, the flowing electrons must find a path through these “islands” of insulating regions, embedded in a “sea” of metal.

Darren Xu A large-scale phylogenetic tree constructed from a diverse set of RNR sequences reveals a small ancestral clade in addition to the three major groups. Cryo-EM characterization of a representative sequence from this clade suggests that the enzyme family adapted to oxygen on earth earlier than previously thought.
