Viruses at solid-water interfaces: A systematic assessment of interactions driving adsorption

Tamar Kohn, Meret Aeppli, Anne Thérèse Sigstam, Antonius Magdi Hakeem Armanious, Dominik Refardt

Adsorption to solid-water interfaces is a major process governing the fate of waterborne viruses in natural and engineered systems. The relative contributions of different interaction forces to adsorption and their dependence on the physicochemical propert ...

Chiral charge erasure via thermal fluctuations of magnetic helicity

Eray Sabancilar

We consider a relativistic plasma of fermions coupled to an Abelian gauge field and carrying a chiral charge asymmetry, which might arise in the early Universe through baryogenesis. It is known that on large length scales, lambda greater than or similar to ...

Vibrational Response of Methylammonium Lead Iodide: From Cation Dynamics to Phonon-Phonon Interactions

Filippo de Angelis, Giulia Grancini

The dynamic evolution of the vibrational interactions in the prototypical CH3NH3PbI3 was studied through a comprehensive experimental and theoretical investigation with a focus on the interactions between the organic cations and the inorganic cage. To date ...

Maximizing Nonlinear Optical Conversion in Plasmonic Nanoparticles through Ideal Absorption of Light

Olivier Martin, Jérémy Butet, Shourya Dutta Gupta, Kuang-Yu Yang

The optimization of nonlinear optical processes in plasmonic structures is important for the design of efficient nonlinear nanosources of light. Considering the simple case of spherical nanoparticles, we clearly identify the most efficient channel for seco ...

Using pot-magnets to enable stable and scalable electromagnetic tactile displays

Herbert Shea, Juan José Zarate

We present the design, fabrication, characterization and psychophysical testing of a scalable haptic display based on electromagnetic (EM) actuators. The display consists of a 4x4 array of taxels, each of which can be in a raised or a lowered position, thu ...

Analysis of thermally induced mechanical interactions in energy pile groups

Lyesse Laloui, Alessandro Francesco Rotta Loria

This study investigates the thermally induced mechanical interactions among closely spaced energy piles that partially operate as geothermal heat exchangers over a time-scale that is typical of practical applications. The analysis is based on the results o ...

The symmetry of partner modelling

Pierre Dillenbourg, Nicolas Nova, Séverin Lemaignan, Mirweis Sangin, Gaëlle Molinari

Collaborative learning has often been associated with the construction of a shared understanding of the situation at hand. The psycholinguistics mechanisms at work while establishing common grounds are the object of scientific controversy. We postulate tha ...

Ising pairing in superconducting NbSe2 atomic layers

László Forró, Helmuth Berger

The properties of two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides arising from strong spin-orbit interactions and valley-dependent Berry curvature effects have recently attracted considerable interest(1-7). Although single-particle and excitonic phenomena ...

Scale-free channeling patterns near the onset of erosion of sheared granular beds

Matthieu Wyart

Erosion shapes our landscape and occurs when a sufficient shear stress is exerted by a fluid on a sedimented layer. What controls erosion at a microscopic level remains debated, especially near the threshold forcing where it stops. Here we study, experimen ...

Visualizing and Quantifying Interactions in the Excited State

Laurent Alexis Clément Vannay, Eric Albert Georges Bremond, Piotr De Silva

Determining the location and nature of the electron pairs within a molecule provides an intuitive representation of electronic structures. Yet, most of the available theoretical representations are not suitable for describing excited state phenomena. The D ...
