Age-related hearing loss affects a significant proportion of adults aged 60 years and above, with a prevalence of 65%.This condition has a negative impact on both physical and mental well-being, and while hearing interventions can help alleviate the effects of hearing loss, they cannot completely restore normal hearing or halt the progression of ag

The pyrochlore compounds Ho2Ti2O7 and Dy2Ti2O7 show an exotic form of magnetism called the spin ice state, resulting from the interplay between geometrical frustration and ferromagnetic coupling.A fascinating feature of this state is the appearance of magnetic monopoles as emergent excitations above the degenerate ground state.Over the past years,
