Theoretical investigation of bulk acoustic waves with high electromechanical coupling coefficient in c-axis-tilted wurtzite ScAlN by Takumi Tominaga

“…Recent advancements in ScAlN film fabrication techniques, enabling control over the Sc concentration (x) and c-axis tilt angle (θ), have motivated this study to theoretically investigate the BAW propagation characteristics of c-axis-tilted ScxAl1−xN as a function of x and θ. In c-axis-tilted ScAlN, quasi-longitudinal and quasi-shear waves coupled with piezoelectricity propagate, with their electromechanical coupling coefficient (K2) values increasing sharply with x and reaching maximum values under different conditions: θ = 0° for quasi-longitudinal waves and θ = 32.35° for quasi-shear waves. …”

α-Terpineol Induces Shelterin Components TRF1 and TRF2 to Mitigate Senescence and Telomere Integrity Loss via A Telomerase-Independent Pathway by Marianna Kapetanou, Sophia Athanasopoulou, Andreas Goutas, Dimitra Makatsori, Varvara Trachana, Efstathios Gonos

“…In several organisms, including mammals, telomeres are protected by a protein complex named shelterin that prevents DNA damage at the chromosome ends through the specific function of its subunits. Here, we reveal that the nuclear protein levels of shelterin components TRF1 and TRF2 decline in fibroblasts reaching senescence. …”
