Controlling the sense of molecular rotation
, 2009 We introduce a new scheme for controlling the sense of molecular rotation. By varying the polarization and the delay between two ultrashort laser pulses, we induce unidirectional molecular rotation, thereby forcing the molecules to rotate clockwise ...

Harnessing Fungal Biowelding for Constructing Mycelium‐Engineered Materials
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Mycelium‐bound composites (MBCs) offer low‐carbon alternatives for construction, yet interfacial bonding remains a critical challenge. This review examines fungal biowelding as a biocompatible adhesive, elucidating mycelium‐mediated interfacial mechanisms and their role in material assembly. Strategies to optimize biowelding are discussed, highlighting

Daemonic ergotropy: enhanced work extraction from quantum correlations
npj Quantum Information, 2017 Quantum thermodynamics: Quantum correlations are key for work extraction! A strong connection exists between the ability of a quantum system to perform thermodynamic work and the amount of quantum correlations that are set in its physical configuration ...

Dissipative Synthesis of Mechanical Fock-Like States
Proceedings, 2019 The observation of genuine quantum features of nano-mechanical motion is a key goal for both fundamental and applied quantum science. To this end, a promising approach is the stabilization of nonclassical features in the presence of dissipation, by means

Influence of an Argon/Silane Atmosphere on the Temperature of a Thermal Plasma
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.The influence of a silane‐doped argon atmosphere on the chemical composition and temperature of a thermal nontransferring argon plasma is investigated using optical emission spectroscopy. As a result of the high amount of free electrons resulting from the stepwise ionization and dissociation of the silane molecule, even a silane addition of 0.01 vol ...

Reconciliation of quantum local master equations with thermodynamics
New Journal of Physics, 2018 The study of open quantum systems often relies on approximate master equations derived under the assumptions of weak coupling to the environment. However when the system is made of several interacting subsystems such a derivation is in many cases very ...
