Surface phonons of SiO2 can couple with photogenerated plasmon polaritons in black phosphorous to make coherent transient hybrid modes with constant energy and momentum
Tracking fluorescent nanodiamond inside branches of neurons is a sensitive method to measure the changes in intraneuronal transport due to genetic risk factors associated with brain diseases.
Tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy in conjunction with scanning tunnelling microscopy can be used to correlate chemical properties and surface topography of bimetallic catalysts with high spatial resolution.
Encapsulated few-layer InSe exhibits a remarkably high electronic quality, which is promising for the development of ultrathin-body high-mobility nanoelectronics.
A super-resolution imaging technique based on single-nanotube tracking is used to study the nanoscale organization and local viscosity of the brain extracellular space.
By varying the coupling between quantum dots obtained by patterning an InAs nanowire it is possible to control the transition between superconducting and normal states.
Hybrid biomolecular motors, created by combining motor cores from the microtubule-based dynein motor with actin-binding proteins, can drive the sliding movement of an actin filament.
Shot noise can be suppressed, which is essential for improving the performance of quantum transport devices, by using an electronic closed-loop feedback that monitors and adjusts the counting statistics.
The electric field generated by the tip of a scanning tunnelling microscope can be exploited to locally and reversibly switch between a ferromagnetic state and a skyrmion.
Applying magnetic and electric fields to twisted bilayer graphene creates an electron–hole bilayer that features helical 1D edge modes and fractional quantum Hall states.
DNA-grafted gold nanoparticles can self-assemble into shape-changing films that are powered by DNA strand exchange reactions and have two different domains that can be independently addressed using distinct chemical signals.
6’-Sialyllactose conjugated to polyamidoamine dendrimers at a well-defined valency and spacing can circumvent drug resistance and inhibit influenza A viruses.
Two electron spins occupying the outer dots in a linear array of three quantum dots experience a coherent superexchange interaction through the empty middle dot that acts as a quantum mediator.
Nuclear spins in gallium arsenide produce noise at discrete frequencies, which can be notch-filtered efficiently to extend coherence times of electron spin qubits to nearly 1 ms.
