Most Downloaded Item for March: “Consequences of Reduced Symmetry in Chiral Magnetic Thin Films,” Michael Kitcher
This thesis explores how changes in symmetry affect tiny, magnetically twisted structures—called skyrmions—in ultra-thin magnetic materials. By tweaking the material’s structure, researchers discovered new ways to stabilize and control these nanoscale features. Understanding these effects could help design future technologies in data storage and computing.

Most Downloaded Item for April: “The Emerging Neurobiology of Mindfulness and Emotion Processing,” W. Michael Sayers, J. David Creswell, and Adrienne A. Taren
This article reviews how mindfulness practice influences the brain’s emotional systems. It highlights research showing that mindfulness can change activity in key brain areas—like the amygdala and prefrontal cortex—linked to emotion regulation. These changes help people respond more calmly to stress. The findings suggest mindfulness may improve mental health by reshaping how the brain processes and manages emotions.
