Study finds pay practices, job barriers to blame for women making less than men NatureHumBehav
found that sorting into occupations is substantially more important for gender inequality than sorting into establishments, we find evidence that sorting into both occupations and establishments plays an important role in producing gender differences. Our findings thus not only underscore the salience of within-job differences, but also document the importance of processes that differentially sort women and men into high-paying establishments and occupations.
Gender differences also increase in Hungary and Slovenia, where the increase is due not only to sorting processes, but also to an increase in within-job gender gaps. Of particular note, none of our 15 countries exhibits a decrease in the overall gender earnings gap coupled with an increase in within-job gender earnings gaps ; this suggests that the processes sorting women and men into different jobs are rarely gender egalitarian.

Chiral assemblies of pinwheel superlattices on substrates - NatureChiroptically active pinwheel assemblies on substrates are formed by tetrahedral gold nanoparticles from the effective ‘compression’ of a perovskite-like, low-density phase, thereby enabling the manufacture of metastructured coatings with special chiroptical characteristics as identified by photon-induced near-field electron microscopy and chirality measures.

Melting of generalized Wigner crystals in transition metal dichalcogenide heterobilayer Moiré systems - Nature CommunicationsRecent experiments on a WSe2/WS2 hetero-bilayer detected incompressible charge ordered states considered to be generalized Wigner crystals. Here, by performing Monte Carlo simulations of a triangular moiré lattice, the authors study the phases which emerge on melting such charge-ordered states in partially filled moiré bands, finding two distinct nematic states and a hexagonal domain wall state.
