Signatures of a surface spin-orbital chiral metal

In an article published in the journal Nature, signatures of spin-orbital currents breaking both time-reversal and all crystalline symmetries were confirmed in an exotic surface chiral phase of Sr2RuO4. It was possible to find signatures of the so...

Laser cooling of atoms containing antimatter

The cloud of exotic atoms made up of matter and antimatter was cooled by more than 200 degrees in a controlled manner. The international team of scientists from the AEgIS experiment working at CERN has made the first experimental demonstration of ...

Temperature dependence of chromatic dispersion for hygroscopic liquids

Using a modified Abbe refractometer, the chromatic dispersion and temperature dependence of the refractive index of a range of hygroscopic liquids was measured from 390 to 1070 nm for temperatures from 1 to 45°C. To obtain an analytical formula, t...

Interaction of SARS-CoV-2 with host cells and antibodies: experiment and simulation

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the primary etiological agent responsible for the catastrophic global COVID-19 pandemic, as officially declared by the World Health Organization (WHO) in March 2020. This pandemic h...

How soluble misfolded proteins bypass chaperones at the molecular level

Subpopulations of soluble, misfolded proteins can bypass chaperones within cells. The extent of this phenomenon and how it happens at the molecular level are unknown. Through a meta-analysis of the experimental literature we find that in all quan...

Excited-state singlet–triplet inversion in hexagonal aromatic and heteroaromatic compounds

Ab initio computations performed by physicists from IF PAS and Technical University of Munich indicate on existence of a wide class of organic molecules with inverted sequence of the lowest singlet and triplet states. This discovery may have impor...

Carbon Oxide Decomposition as a Novel Technique for Ultrahigh Quality ZnO Nanowire Crystallization

By modifying the classic method of growing ZnO nanowires, we were able to achieve an exceptionally high level of structural and optical quality in individual ZnO nanowires. The half-width of the exciton bound to the donor measured an unprecedented...
