Research team discovers that Na2Sn2As2, a layered metal, displays in-plane electron and cross-plane hole conduction in thermopower, exactly the opposite polarity in the Hall effect. They posit that the ability, which they’ve dubbed “goniopolarity,” originates from Fermi surface geometry.

It’s well known that teenagers’ moods go through drastic changes. For the first time, researchers report on the points during teen development when depressive symptoms increase most rapidly. For females this occurred at 13.7 years old, while for males it was much later, at 16.4 years old (n=9,301).
