Rigorous Bounds on the Heating Rate in Thue-Morse Quasiperiodically and Randomly Driven Quantum Many-Body Systems
In the last decade researchers have realised that simply shaking a collection of quantum particles can give rise to new phases of matter without any counterparts in undriven equilibrium systems. However, most of these are rather delicate and require a…
Variational quantum algorithm with information sharing
Today’s quantum computers are small and noisy. Hybrid quantum-classical algorithms aim to make use of these limited devices by pairing them with classical computing and assigning specialized tasks to the quantum hardware (e.g. measuring the energy expectation value of a…
Hidden spontaneous polarisation in the chalcohalide photovoltaic absorber Sn2SbS2I3
Perovskite-inspired materials aim to replicate the optical and electronic performance of the famous lead-halide perovskites, while eliminating issues with stability and toxicity. In this work, we focused on an emerging material in the class of mixed-metal chalcohalides; Sn2SbS2I3, which recently…
Theory predicts and experiment demonstrates single atom alloy catalyst for alkane valorisation
This work was part of a long-term collaboration between the groups of Charles Sykes (Tufts University), Angelos Michaelides (former TYC Director and Professor at UCL, now at the University of Cambridge) and Michail Stamatakis (UCL). Notably, this collaboration was fostered…
Morphology of bile salts micelles and mixed micelles with lipolysis products, from scattering techniques and atomistic simulations
Bile salts (BS) are biosurfactants released into the small intestine, which play key and contrasting roles in lipid digestion: they adsorb at interfaces and promote the adsorption of digestive enzymes onto fat droplets, while they also remove lipolysis products from that…
Cartilage rehydration: The sliding-induced hydrodynamic triggering mechanism
Carmine Putignano, David Burris, Axel Moore, Daniele Dini In this study we have provided an innovative theoretical formulation, corroborated by detailed experiments, which for the first time sheds the light on the hydrodynamic origins of rehydration in cartilage tissues. When…
Unsupervised Learning Unravels the Structure of Four-Arm and Linear Block Copolymer Micelles
In this work, Ziolek and co-workers employed unsupervised machine learning techniques to provide new fundamental insights into the structure of these micelles.
