In a study published in Nature Communications, researchers developed and characterized a multi-component molecular propeller that enables unidirectional rotations on a material surface when energized.

A unique route was demonstrated for directly imaging local strain in nanomechanical structures and quantifying dynamic structure-function relationships in materials.

Transition dipole moments in CdSe quantum rings show a peculiar in-plane linear distribution.

In a study published in Physical Review Letters, researchers report a novel mechanism for a non-equilibrium phase transition from a Bose-Einstein condensate of polaritons to a photon laser.

In a study published in Physical Review X, researchers indicated that taken together, experiments and simulations demonstrate a system in which strain and geometry can be combined to dynamically manipulate pattern formation in active matter.

In a study published in Nature Communications, researchers indicated their results showcase a contribution of orbital behavior in the emergence of intriguing phenomena.

In a study published in Nature Communications, researchers explained a local, fluctuating, orbital-degeneracy-lifted state. A phenomenon likely to be widespread amongst diverse classes of partially filled nominally degenerate d-electron systems.

In a study published in Physical Review Materials, researchers discovered that low spin state for a tetrahedral environment provides a novel platform for spin state manipulation in solid state materials.

In a recent study published in Nanoscale, researchers show increases in cooling time for poorer hydrocarbon solvents compared to better solvents, indicate penetration of solvent into the ligand layer facilitates improved heat transfer to the matrix.
