Quantum fluctuation driven first order phase transition in weak ferromagnetic metals
In a local Fermi liquid (LFL), we show that there is a line of weak first
order phase transitions between the ferromagnetic and paramagnetic phases due
to purely quantum fluctuations. We predict that an instability towards
superconductivity is only possible in the ferromagnetic state. At T=0 we find a
point on the phase diagram where all three phases meet and we call this a
quantum triple point (QTP). A simple application of the Gibbs phase rule shows
that only these three phases can meet at the QTP. This provides a natural
explanation of the absence of superconductivity at this point coming from the
paramagnetic side of the phase diagram, as observed in the recently discovered
ferromagnetic superconductor, .Comment: 5 pages, 5 figure

Applications of CRISPR–Cas systems in neuroscience
Genome-editing tools, and in particular those based on CRISPR-Cas (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)-CRISPR-associated protein) systems, are accelerating the pace of biological research and enabling targeted genetic interrogation in almost any organism and cell type. These tools have opened the door to the development of new model systems for studying the complexity of the nervous system, including animal models and stem cell-derived in vitro models. Precise and efficient gene editing using CRISPR-Cas systems has the potential to advance both basic and translational neuroscience research.National Institute of Mental Health (U.S.) (Grant 5DP1-MH100706)National Institute of Mental Health (U.S.) (Grant 1R01-MH110049)National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (U.S.) (Grant 5R01DK097768-03
