A Soft Microrobot for Single‐Cell Transport, Spheroid Assembly, and Dual‐Mode Drug Screening
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.A soft, untethered hydrogel microrobot enables precise single‐cell delivery, self‐assembly into 3D spheroids, and real‐time thermal actuation. Driven by light‐induced convection and embedded with gold nanorods and temperature sensors, the microrobot guides cells, modulates local microenvironments, and supports drug testing.

Engineered Protein‐Based Ionic Conductors for Sustainable Energy Storage Applications
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Rational incorporation of charged residues into an engineered, self‐assembling protein scaffold yields solid‐state protein films with outstanding ionic conductivity. Salt‐doping further enhances conductivity, an effect amplified in the engineered variants. These properties enable the material integration into an efficient supercapacitor.

Revista Brasileira de Ensino de FísicaThis paper serves as a primer on superconductivity, inviting students for further investigation. Although the theory of superconductivity is a many-body quantum theory, here we take a more didactic route based on thermodynamics and symmetry.

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2017 In this paper we study the consistency of generalized global symmetries in theories of quantum gravity, in particular string theory. Such global symmetries arise in theories with (p + 1)-form gauge fields, and for spacetime dimension d ≤ p + 3 there are ...

Spontaneous breaking of electric-magnetic charge symmetry in local quantum field theory
Physics Letters B, 1976 Abstract It is shown that in local quantum field theory with electric and magnetic currents, duality transformations are always spontaneously broken. Possible implications are discussed leading to the screening of magnetic charge and the failure of the cluster property as in two-dimensional quantum electrodynamics.

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Highly water‐soluble dicationic bis(indolium) dyes have been prepared, showing excellent two‐photon absorption and light emission. Their fluorescence behavior discloses an unusual increasing blue shift with increasing solvent polarity, which, in parallel, is beneficial for enhanced detection in biological media.

Gravitino condensates in the early universe and inflation
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2015 We review work on the formation of gravitino condensates via the super-Higgs effect in the early Universe. This is a scenario for both inflating the early universe and breaking local super-symmetry (supergravity), entirely independent of any coupling to ...

On the Reality of Quantum Collapse and the Emergence of Space-Time
Entropy, 2019 We present a model, in which quantum-collapse is supposed to be real as a result of breaking unitary symmetry, and in which we can define a notion of “becoming„.

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Magnetic doping of the topological insulator Bi2Te3 with erbium adatoms induces out‐of‐plane magnetism and breaks time‐reversal symmetry, opening a Dirac gap and driving a Fermi surface transition from hexagonal to star‐of‐David geometry. Microscopy, spectroscopy, and magnetic dichroism reveal atomically controlled magnetic interactions that tailor the
