ALT At the bottom, the figure displays a plot that charts the z-position of the nanosphere (series of vertical blue lines) and the reconstructed impulse amplitude (series of smaller vertical orange lines) over a 2ms window. Time is on the x-axis, and z position and impulse are on the y-axis. At the top, two smaller graphs show enlarged sections of the main plot, corresponding to two impulse events. The top-left graph displays electrical impulse and the reconstructed wave form. The top-right graph displays the reconstructed wave form from a candidate collision event with a Xenon atom. In both graphs, a dashed black line represents the signal template.

ALT A graphic visualizes the optical poling of polar nanoregions in the disordered phase. The visual’s center displays two rainbow-colored hemispheres, which contain small dips arising from the bottom. These half-spheres are laid out on an x-y-V axis, with a black curved line representing the varying polarization directions (δ) and a blue line representing Eωpump. A half-circular array of small circular plots surrounds the rainbow hemispheres, spanning from an angle of 180 (left side) to 0 (right side). The plots represent the RA-SHG patterns acquired with an optical pump, with blue empty circles on the plots representing raw data and blue curved lines representing the best fits to simulations. Gray shaded regions on the plot denote patterns acquired without pump.

ALT Schematic of the spin and orbital Seebeck effects in a vertical multilayer device. An x-y-z axis is shown to the left. From top to bottom (z axis), the layers in the stack are a heater (top yellow layer), SiO2 insulator (green), a gap then Au (yellow), Ti(t) (blue), Ni (yellowy-green), and a substrate (light blue) at the base. The top heater carries a current Idc. Arrows pointing to the right (+y direction) are labeled as currents Jc, while a red arrow labeled Js points up (+z direction). There is a voltage V(H) across the Ni layer. A field H is depicted by a green arrow (+x direction). A vertical thermal gradient (∇T), pointing up (+z direction), generates a spin or orbital accumulation, which is injected from the Ni layer into the detection layers. There are accumulation labels AL A’L near the Ti/Ni interface.

ALT Panel (b) on the left displays the photoelectron energy spectra as a function of time delay (τ) between the XUV-APT and IR fields. Time-delay is on the y-axis and SB24 is on the y-axis. The graph comprises 13 bursts which appear as a series of vertical red bars separated by wider white regions. The spectra are labelled with a color scale bar at the top, ranging from white for the lowest values to dark red for the highest values. On the right, panel (c) displays a simple graph plotting the normalized oscillation of SB24, which is visualized as a dashed box in panel (b). The graph displays a black solid curve, oscillating from the bottom of the y-axis to the top. The curve contains various red dots, which represent data points.
![The top of the figure displays a chart visualizing Planck cosmic microwave background temperature data on 25 galaxy clusters. x/R500c is on the x-axis, and y/R500c is on the y-axis, with each side ranging from values of -1 to 1. The graph’s regions are labelled with a color scale bar on the right, ranging from dark blue for the lowest values to dark red for the highest values. The left side of the chart is primarily blue and the right side is primarily red, with a thin band of white separating the two regions. A dotted white line runs down the middle of the plot.
The bottom of the figure shows a plot visualizing the significance of the dipole compared with a random noise distribution.〈D〉[μK] is on the x-axis, and probability is on the y-axis. A series of grey bars along the x-axis represents the distribution of randoms. A black dashed line running along the distribution shows the best-fit Gaussian to the noise, while a vertical solid red line shows the oriented stack.](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/HUg5EV7XgAE0XPI.png?name=small&format=webp)

ALT A graph plotting the transient shear and planar extensional viscosity for the linear PTT model as a function of accumulated strain. The graph plots two functions, visualized as a series of connected black diamonds and red circles, respectively. Black dashed lines plot the predictions of the UCM model.

ALT A figure displaying two models of the atomic and magnetic structure of HoIG under scenarios of above TM (left) and below TM (right). The structures consist of lattices and fields of various molecules, including Ho3+ (purple spheres), Fe3+tet (pink spheres), Fe3+oct (yellow spheres), and O2- (red dots). The left model displays the molecules arranged within a black outline of a cube, and includes several pink, purple, and yellow tetrahedrons in the middle. The right model displays the same molecules in a more compressed rectangular sphere, with dark and light purple arrows indicating canting angles from the ⟨111⟩-axis.

ALT Artist’s conceptualization of the acousto-mechanical interaction within the acoustic drumstick device. A blue translucent cylinder represents a piezoelectric layer. High-frequency bulk acoustic waves are excited through this layer, shown by multicolored chevrons, creating ripples, which are converted into photons, that strike a micro-drumhead membrane suspended below. The acoustic wave acts as a nanoscale "drumstick" striking the mechanical membrane, creating large ripples, illustrating the energy transfer between sound and motion.

ALT A 3D rendering of strong-field ionization with bright squeezed vacuum. On the left is a thick, salmon-colored beam intersected with a transparent disc and two white squares. Towards the right, the salmon beam becomes a thinner orange beam intersected with a diagonally oriented transparent square with a black knob. The orange beam then gets reflected and focused by a metallic cylindrical shape onto a separate, light blue rod with dark blue spheres attached to it, representing the jet of xenon atoms. The light blue rod has a blue coil hanging off of it that touches a metallic disc with a black outline lying flat below.

At the bottom, text attributes the award to the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.

The top and bottom halves of the plot are divided into orange-shaded (top) and blue-shaded (bottom) regions, corresponding to liquid drops and liquid jet, respectively. The graph contains data points corresponding to uniform fiber (light blue circles), beaded fiber (brown triangles), or beads (orange squares).

ALT The longitudinal resistivity versus magnetic field at different source powers, represented by different colors. Each resistivity oscillation starts at a different magnetic field and wiggles downward, eventually decaying to zero. Each curve has one pronounced oscillation that occurs near the same resistivity.

ALT Nine images of droplet-encapsulated gels form a three square grid and are arranged by liquid fraction horizontally and elastocapillary number vertically. The gels — which appear as elongated capsule-like structures — range from elongated capsule-like outlines with inner gel cores to rounded droplets and a pinched figure-eight structure.
