Self-assembly of protein-polymer conjugates for drug delivery

Harm-Anton Klok, Corey Alfred Stevens, Kuljeet Kaur

Protein-polymer conjugates are a class of molecules that combine the stability of polymers with the diversity, specificity, and functionality of biomolecules. These bioconjugates can result in hybrid materials that display properties not found in their ind ...

Lieu hologrammatique, un concept et une méthodologie complexe de mesure de l'organisation spatiale des réalités sociales

Thibault Pierre Louis Romany

The urban is a complex phenomenon whose exploration remains a important scientific challenge. Choosing complex thought in order to renew our capacities for understanding and action on and with the urban is not trivial. The complex thought developed by Edga ...

Being Part of the Swarm: Experiencing Human-Swarm Interaction with VR and Tangible Robots

Pierre Dillenbourg, Barbara Bruno, Arzu Güneysu Özgür, Kevin Gonyop Kim, Hala Khodr

A swarm is the coherent behavior that emerges ubiquitously fromsimple interaction rules between self-organized agents. Understand-ing swarms is of utmost importance in many disciplines and jobs,but hard to teach due to the elusive nature of the phenomenon, ...

Automated high-throughput Wannierisation

Nicola Marzari, Giovanni Pizzi, Antimo Marrazzo

Maximally-localised Wannier functions (MLWFs) are routinely used to compute from first-principles advanced materials properties that require very dense Brillouin zone integration and to build accurate tight-binding models for scale-bridging simulations. At ...

Ultrafast Structural Dynamics of Nanoparticles in Intense Laser Fields

Christoph Bostedt, Alessandro Colombo, Giorgio Rossi

Femtosecond laser pulses have opened new frontiers for the study of ultrafast phase transitions and nonequilibrium states of matter. In this Letter, we report on structural dynamics in atomic clusters pumped with intense near-infrared (NIR) pulses into a n ...

Direct measurement of Lighthill's energetic efficiency of a minimal magnetic microswimmer

Ignacio Pagonabarraga Mora

The realization of artificial microscopic swimmers able to propel in viscous fluids is an emergent research field of fundamental interest and vast technological applications. For certain functionalities, the efficiency of the microswimmer in converting the ...

Economic complexity unfolded: Interpretable model for the productive structure of economies

Fernando Perez Cruz

Economic complexity reflects the amount of knowledge that is embedded in the productive structure of an economy. It resides on the premise of hidden capabilities-fundamental endowments underlying the productive structure. In general, measuring the capabili ...

Elastoplastic description of sudden failure in athermal amorphous materials during quasistatic loading

Matthieu Wyart, Thomas Willem Jan de Geus, Marko Popovic

The response of amorphous materials to an applied strain can be continuous or instead discontinuous if the initial configuration is very stable. We study theoretically how such a stress drop emerges as the system's initial stability is increased. We show t ...

Multiple-q noncollinear magnetism in an itinerant hexagonal magnet

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Jonathan White

Multiple-q spin order, i.e., a spin texture characterized by a multiple number of coexisting magnetic modulation vectors q, has recently attracted attention as a source of nontrivial magnetic topology and associated emergent phenomena. One typical example ...

Spiral spin-liquid and the emergence of a vortex-like state in MnSc2S4

Jonathan White, Gregory Scott Tucker, Romain Sibille, Shang Gao

Spirals and helices are common motifs of long-range order in magnetic solids, and they may also be organized into more complex emergent structures such as magnetic skyrmions and vortices. A new type of spiral state, the spiral spin-liquid, in which spins f ...
