One potential pairing mechanism, invoked in the related re-entrant superconductors UCoGe and URhGe, involves transverse fluctuations of a ferromagnetic order parameter. However, the requisite ferromagnetic order - present in both UCoGe and URhGe - is absent in UTe2, and magnetization measurements show no sign of strong fluctuations. Here, we measure the magnetotropic susceptibility of UTe2 across two field-angle planes. This quantity is sensitive to the magnetic susceptibility in a direction transverse to the applied magnetic field - a quantity that is not accessed in conventional magnetization measurements. We observe a very large decrease in the magnetotropic susceptibility over a broad range of field orientations, indicating a large increase in the transverse magnetic susceptibility. The three superconducting phases of UTe2, including the high-field re-entrant phase, surround this region of enhanced susceptibility in the field-angle phase diagram. The strongest transverse susceptibility is found near the critical end point of the high-field metamagnetic transition, suggesting that quantum critical fluctuations of a field-induced magnetic order parameter may be responsible for the large transverse susceptibility, and may provide a pairing mechanism for field-induced superconductivity in UTe2."}],"contributor":[{"contributor_type":"project_member","first_name":"Valeska","orcid":"0000-0002-8806-5719","last_name":"Zambra","id":"467ed36b-dc96-11ea-b7c8-b043a380b282"}],"file":[{"checksum":"53157d908fba663275c2b8dc6ee84fdb","file_name":"README.txt","file_id":"21332","creator":"kmodic","content_type":"text/plain","date_created":"2026-02-19T07:38:15Z","relation":"main_file","success":1,"date_updated":"2026-02-19T07:38:15Z","access_level":"open_access","file_size":1347},{"date_updated":"2026-02-19T07:39:03Z","access_level":"open_access","file_size":534853,"success":1,"relation":"main_file","date_created":"2026-02-19T07:39:03Z","content_type":"application/zip","creator":"kmodic","file_id":"21333","file_name":"processed_data_bc_plane_Fig2d.zip","checksum":"b2c8ca5620ee9c181a42082068d3d73c"},{"date_updated":"2026-02-19T07:39:07Z","access_level":"open_access","file_size":427144,"success":1,"relation":"main_file","content_type":"application/zip","date_created":"2026-02-19T07:39:07Z","creator":"kmodic","file_id":"21334","file_name":"processed_data_ac_plane_Fig2c.zip","checksum":"976bf113da4b1133313f0b292e71289f"}],"citation":{"short":"K.A.

Bringing such systems far from equilibrium, however, can drastically enhance mode-to-mode interactions. Understanding the resulting liquid is a fundamental question for quantum statistical mechanics and a practical question for engineering driven quantum devices. To tackle this question, we probe the non-equilibrium kinetics of one-dimensional plasmons in a long chain of Josephson junctions. We introduce multimode spectroscopy to controllably study the departure from equilibrium, witnessing the evolution from pairwise coupling between plasma modes at weak driving to dramatic, high-order, cascaded couplings at strong driving. Scaling to many-mode drives, we stimulate interactions between hundreds of modes, resulting in near-continuum internal dynamics. Imaging the resulting non-equilibrium plasmon populations, we then resolve the nonlocal redistribution of energy in the response to a weak perturbation—an explicit verification of the emergence of a strongly interacting, non-equilibrium liquid of plasmons."}]},{"publication":"Nature","status":"public","publication_status":"published","day":"18","date_updated":"2026-04-28T12:06:01Z","acknowledged_ssus":[{"_id":"M-Shop"},{"_id":"NanoFab"},{"_id":"ScienComp"},{"_id":"LifeSc"}],"oa_version":"Published Version","article_processing_charge":"Yes (via OA deal)","date_published":"2026-03-18T00:00:00Z","ddc":["540"],"title":"Adventitious carbon breaks symmetry in oxide contact electrification","ec_funded":1,"abstract":[{"text":"Insulating oxides are among the most abundant solid materials in the universe1,2,3.

Here we show that adventitious carbonaceous molecules adsorbed from the environment are the symmetry-breaking factor in same-material oxide contact electrification (CE). We use acoustic levitation to measure charge exchange between a sphere and a plate composed of identical amorphous silicon dioxide (SiO2). Although charging polarity is random for co-prepared samples, we control it with baking or plasma treatment. Observing the charge-exchange relaxation afterwards, we see dynamics over a timescale of hours and connect this directly to the presence of adventitious carbon with time-of-flight mass spectrometry, low-energy ion scattering and infrared spectroscopy. Going further, we confirm that adventitious carbon can even determine charge exchange among different oxides. Our results identify the symmetry-breaking parameter that causes insulating oxides to exchange charge in settings ranging from desert sands4 to volcanic plumes5,6, while simultaneously highlighting an overlooked factor in CE more broadly.","lang":"eng"}],"file":[{"file_name":"2026_Nature_Grosjean.pdf","checksum":"dafef9ed575b44be4263e948a47ae056","file_id":"21494","creator":"dernst","content_type":"application/pdf","date_created":"2026-03-24T06:57:08Z","relation":"main_file","success":1,"date_updated":"2026-03-24T06:57:08Z","file_size":12245694,"access_level":"open_access"}],"pmid":1,"citation":{"apa":"Grosjean, G.

However, the requisite ferromagnetic order—present in both UCoGe and URhGe—is absent in UTe2, and neutron scattering shows instead that the magnetic susceptibility is peaked at an antiferromagnetic wavevector. Here, we measure the magnetotropic susceptibility of UTe2 across two field-angle planes. This quantity is sensitive to the magnetic susceptibility in a direction transverse to the applied magnetic field—a quantity that is not accessed in conventional magnetization measurements. We observe a very large decrease in the magnetotropic susceptibility over a broad range of field orientations, indicating a large increase in the transverse magnetic susceptibility. Because our technique probes the magnetic susceptibility in the long wavelength (q = 0) limit, this suggests that the strong transverse susceptibility arises from ferromagnetic spin fluctuations. These ferromagnetic fluctuations are likely important for understanding the pairing mechanism in UTe2, as all three superconducting phases of UTe2 surround this region of enhanced susceptibility in the field-angle phase diagram.","lang":"eng"}],"acknowledgement":"We appreciate technical support from Salvatore Bagiante, Evgeniia Volobueva, Lubuna Shafeek, Ali Bangura, and Zoltán Köllö, and scientific discussions with Daniel Agterberg, Johnpierre Paglione, Qimiao Si, Josephine Yu and Yue Yu.

The former, the building block of matter, something we learn about in school and imagine it as some tiny marbles encircled by other tinier marbles. The latter, an electromagnetic wave, a light particle or an excitation of the electromagnetic field. Quantum mechanics tells us about the properties of these two entities. And even if it sounds, looks and writes counter-intuitive, it has proven right for over a century now.\r\n\r\nIn this work, I elaborate on how we tested the laws of quantum mechanics and how we used them learn more about the tiny building blocks of nature and the fields they use to talk to each other. The atoms we use, are artificial. Superconducting qubits, small electrical circuits with quantized energy levels behave like electrons that transition between different orbitals in an atom. One of the qubits' advantages, is also a big disadvantage. We design the circuits' energy levels and fabricate them in a cleanroom. This allows for arbitrary spaced energy levels but in contrast to real atoms, prevents two superconducting qubits from being alike. Still, this qubit platform is one of the frontrunners for future quantum computing technology and testing fundamental physics due to their scalability.\r\n\r\nWe interface superconducting qubits, which operate in the GHz regime, with microwave photons. We use 3D aluminum cavities as mediators between qubits and photons. The cavities allow for non-destructive readout of the qubit state, they shield the qubits from noise at the qubit frequency and they give us an easy way to frequency-tune these joint systems.\r\n\r\nWe need to operate superconducting qubits and their cavities at millikelvin temperatures in dilution refrigerators. At higher temperatures, superconductivity suffers and even worse, the environment is filled with thermal noise photons. This poses a fundamental limitation on the scalability of superconducting qubit devices. Also connecting multiple devices in different fridges does not work over room temperature links because the microwave photons used for this purpose will be covered in noise and the quantum information they carry, will be unusable.\r\n\r\nInfrared photons do not suffer from this noise problem since there are close to zero thermal noise photons at their frequencies at room temperature. We cannot simply interface superconducting devices with optical photons due their frequency mismatch and the destructive effect of optical photons on superconductors. Therefore, we use microwave-to-optics transducers that allow to convert microwave photons into optical ones and vice-versa. The transducers that we use are macroscopic electro-optic transducers using the Pockels effect in a disk-shaped Lithium Niobate whispering gallery mode resonator. By using a strong optical pump, photons from the two frequency domains experience a beam-splitter interaction and get converted from one to the other.\r\n\r\nWe measure the generated optical photons using elaborate optical setups, optical heterodyning and single photon detectors to gain knowledge about the qubit state or the converted microwave photons. Bridging the microwave and the optical world allows us to take advantage of both of their strengths but it also requires deep knowledge about both of their working principles.\r\n\r\nIn this work, we describe two experiments that our group conducted to showcase the opportunities that arise from interfacing superconducting qubits with optical photons but also the pitfalls, one may encounter on the way.\r\n\r\nIn the first experiment, we managed to all-optically read out a superconducting qubit. We show that the assignment fidelity, the probability that a measurement of the qubit state matches the prepared state, is close to equal for all-optical, microwave-to-optics and conventional microwave readout. We show T1 and T2 measurements for all three readout types and give an analysis of the noise caused by the optics. Finally, we show that the infrared light does not affect the qubit performance in a negative way but that the heating it causes does. This is an important insight that we used in the next experiment.\r\n\r\nThe second experiment is the upconversion of itinerant single microwave photons to the optical domain. We show that we can generate single microwave photons from a qubit-cavity system. We upconvert these single photons, measure them with a single photon detector and reconstruct their shape. By conducting a single photon Rabi measurement, we show correlations between the microwave and the optical domain. And by thorough signal-to-noise measurements and noise analysis, we find that we can generate single infrared photons with high signal-to-noise ratio 5.1 and low transducer added noise (<0.012 quanta). We show that this measurement creates a path towards entanglement of a superconducting qubit and an optical photon and what parameters need to be improved to achieve it. Additionally, this experiment is a proof of principle for an on-demand infrared single photon source. More generally, it allows to link microwave quantum technology in general to the optical domain.","lang":"eng"}],"ec_funded":1,"publication_status":"published","status":"public","date_published":"2026-05-12T00:00:00Z","article_processing_charge":"No","date_updated":"2026-05-20T13:35:43Z","alternative_title":["ISTA Thesis"],"day":"12","acknowledged_ssus":[{"_id":"M-Shop"},{"_id":"NanoFab"},{"_id":"LifeSc"},{"_id":"SSU"}],"oa_version":"Published Version","department":[{"_id":"GradSch"},{"_id":"JoFi"}],"date_created":"2026-05-12T09:04:02Z","author":[{"id":"1fcd8497-dba3-11ea-a45e-c6fbd715f7c7","last_name":"Werner","full_name":"Werner, Thomas","first_name":"Thomas","orcid":"0009-0001-2346-5236"}],"acknowledgement":"The author of this work was supported by the European Research Council under grant no.\r\n101089099 (ERC CoG cQEO) and the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation\r\nprogram under grant no. 899354 (FETopen SuperQuLAN).\r\nThis work was also supported by the European Research Council under grant nos. 758053\r\n(ERC StG QUNNECT), 101248662 (ERC POC CoupledEOT), and the European Innovation\r\nCouncil no. 101187231 (PathfinderOpen CIELO).

Here, we show that exogenous IAA modulates growth in Chlorella sorokiniana, Chlorella variabilis, and Chlamydomonas reinhardtii in a concentration-dependent manner. Low IAA concentrations promoted growth by accelerating the onset of cell division without affecting cell size, whereas higher concentrations inhibited proliferation. Radiotracer assays showed that all three species take up and release IAA across the plasma membrane through a combination of passive diffusion and energy-dependent, saturable processes. Competition by excess unlabeled natural and synthetic auxins further supported the presence of carrier-mediated transport with broad substrate recognition. Phylogenetic analyses identified potential PIN-like auxin exporters in chlorophytes and other non-plant eukaryotes, and structural modeling supported conservation of the overall PIN fold and predicted auxin-binding residues. However, functional assays in Xenopus laevis oocytes, tobacco BY-2 cultured cells, and Arabidopsis thaliana did not support a role for these proteins in directional auxin export. Instead, non-plant PIN homologs localized predominantly to the endoplasmic reticulum and showed limited or no transport activity in heterologous systems. Together, these findings indicate that auxin responsiveness and basic cellular auxin transport predate canonical PIN-mediated directional auxin export, which appears to be a later innovation of the streptophyte lineage.","lang":"eng"}],"publication_status":"epub_ahead","publication":"Journal of Integrative Plant Biology","status":"public","date_published":"2026-06-10T00:00:00Z","article_processing_charge":"Yes (via OA deal)","day":"10","date_updated":"2026-07-13T14:26:31Z","acknowledged_ssus":[{"_id":"Bio"},{"_id":"NanoFab"}],"oa_version":"Published Version"},{"scopus_import":"1","acknowledgement":"We gratefully acknowledge feedback on the preprint\r\nfrom Charles Marcus, Vadim Khrapai, Joel Moore,\r\nAndrew Green, Shivaji Sondhi, Rufus Boyack, and\r\nLuca Delacr´etaz.

We introduce an alternative experimental probe, capturing microwave radiation across all three regimes, using a two-dimensional array of superconductor-semiconductor hybrid Josephson junctions as a model system. Our approach allows  calibration of the sample’s circuit parameters and provides isolation from measurement back-action effects. We measure the radiation temperature of the anomalous metal and find that it is hotter than both the quantum-critical and insulating regimes. We further show that the anomalous metallic regime is more susceptible to additional heating than other regimes, explaining its emergence in otherwise thermalized systems. Turning to the quantum-critical regime, we discover nonlinear scaling of radiative noise with applied bias, consistent with theoretical predictions of universal nonequilibrium behavior at quantum-critical points.","lang":"eng"}],"dataavailabilitystatement":"The data that support the findings of this article are openly available under 10.5281/zenodo\r\n.19615009.

However, it suffers from poor cycle life associated with the rock-salt phase transformation. This study presents a straightforward synthesis approach to enhance the electrochemical performance of LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 through a synergistic solid-state modification with LiF and AlF3. This dual modification promotes rapid Li⁺ diffusion, enables near-complete delithiation/lithiation, approaching the theoretical capacity of disordered LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4, and, more importantly, effectively mitigates the formation of the rock-salt phase, thereby enhancing structural stability, as confirmed by operando X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and synchrotron X-ray diffraction (SXRD). As a result, the optimized LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 (10 mg AlF3 + 30 mg LiF) delivers high reversible capacities of 142.1, 139.1, 129.2, 121.6, 110.3, 93.5, and 76.1 mAh∙g−1 at 0.2C, 0.5C, 1.0C, 2.0C, 3.0C, 4.0C, and 5.0C, respectively. Full cells using graphite as the anode and a high-loading cathode exhibit excellent cycling performance. They retain 80% of their capacity after 200 cycles at 0.5C within a voltage window of 3.5–4.9 V with cathode loading of 11 mg∙cm−2. The findings of this study will significantly advance high-power LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 materials, offering improved battery life and thereby enhancing their potential for practical applications.","lang":"eng"}],"dataavailabilitystatement":"The data that support the findings of this study are available from the corresponding author upon reasonable request","publication":"Advanced Science","publication_status":"published","status":"public","date_published":"2026-02-23T00:00:00Z","article_processing_charge":"Yes","oa_version":"Published Version","acknowledged_ssus":[{"_id":"EM-Fac"},{"_id":"NanoFab"}],"date_updated":"2026-07-23T06:18:43Z","day":"23","publication_identifier":{"eissn":["2198-3844"]},"intvolume":"        13","OA_place":"publisher","tmp":{"short":"CC BY (4.0)","image":"/images/cc_by.png","name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode"},"volume":13,"publisher":"Wiley","oa":1,"type":"journal_article","month":"02","external_id":{"pmid":["41388041"]},"quality_controlled":"1","pmid":1,"citation":{"apa":"Chang, X., Escudero, C., Black, A.

Yet, how temperature regulates migration dynamics at the single-cell level has remained poorly understood. Using zebrafish embryos and mouse tissue explants, we found that temperature positively regulates leukocyte migration speed, exploration, and arrival frequencies to wounds and lymph vessels. Complementary 2D and 3D cultures revealed that this thermokinetic control of cell migration is conserved across immune cell types, independently of the 3D tissue environment. By applying precise (sub-)cellular temperature modulation, we identified a rapid and reversible thermo-response that depends on myosin II activity. Small physiological increases in temperature (1°C –2°C), as present during fever-like conditions, profoundly increased immune responses by accelerating arrival times at lymphatic vessels and tissue wounds. These findings identify myosin-II-dependent actomyosin contractility as a critical mechanical structure regulating single-cell thermo-adaptability, with physiological implications for tuning the speed of immune responses in vivo.","lang":"eng"}],"status":"public","publication_status":"published","publication":"Developmental Cell","oa_version":"Published Version","acknowledged_ssus":[{"_id":"NanoFab"}],"date_updated":"2026-07-23T06:27:15Z","day":"11","article_processing_charge":"Yes (in subscription journal)","date_published":"2026-02-11T00:00:00Z","PlanS_conform":"1","author":[{"last_name":"Company-Garrido","full_name":"Company-Garrido, Iván","first_name":"Iván"},{"first_name":"Alberto","full_name":"Zurita Carpio, Alberto","last_name":"Zurita Carpio"},{"full_name":"Colomer-Rosell, Mariona","last_name":"Colomer-Rosell","first_name":"Mariona"},{"first_name":"Bernard","full_name":"Ciraulo, Bernard","last_name":"Ciraulo"},{"last_name":"Molkenbur","full_name":"Molkenbur, Ronja","first_name":"Ronja"},{"last_name":"Lanzerstorfer","full_name":"Lanzerstorfer, Peter","first_name":"Peter"},{"first_name":"Fabio","full_name":"Pezzano, Fabio","last_name":"Pezzano"},{"first_name":"Costanza","full_name":"Agazzi, Costanza","last_name":"Agazzi"},{"orcid":"0000-0001-9843-3522","first_name":"Robert","full_name":"Hauschild, Robert","last_name":"Hauschild","id":"4E01D6B4-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87"},{"first_name":"Saumey","last_name":"Jain","full_name":"Jain, Saumey"},{"first_name":"Jeroen M.","full_name":"Jacques, Jeroen M.","last_name":"Jacques"},{"last_name":"Venturini","full_name":"Venturini, Valeria","first_name":"Valeria"},{"last_name":"Knapp","full_name":"Knapp, Christian","first_name":"Christian"},{"last_name":"Xie","full_name":"Xie, Yufei","first_name":"Yufei"},{"full_name":"Merrin, Jack","id":"4515C308-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Merrin","orcid":"0000-0001-5145-4609","first_name":"Jack"},{"full_name":"Weghuber, Julian","last_name":"Weghuber","first_name":"Julian"},{"full_name":"Schaaf, Marcel","last_name":"Schaaf","first_name":"Marcel"},{"first_name":"Romain","full_name":"Quidant, Romain","last_name":"Quidant"},{"orcid":"0000-0001-6165-5738","first_name":"Eva","full_name":"Kiermaier, Eva","id":"3EB04B78-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Kiermaier"},{"full_name":"Ortega Arroyo, Jaime","last_name":"Ortega Arroyo","first_name":"Jaime"},{"full_name":"Ruprecht, Verena","id":"4D71A03A-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Ruprecht","orcid":"0000-0003-4088-8633","first_name":"Verena"},{"orcid":"0000-0002-2670-2217","first_name":"Stefan","full_name":"Wieser, Stefan","id":"355AA5A0-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Wieser"}],"supplementarymaterial":"yes","department":[{"_id":"Bio"},{"_id":"NanoFab"}],"date_created":"2025-12-28T23:01:27Z","issue":"2","acknowledgement":"The authors would like to acknowledge the Super Resolution Light Microcopy and Nanoscopy (SLN) Facility of ICFO for their support with imaging experiments, Johann Osmond (Nanofabrication laboratory, ICFO) for the design and production of molds for generating confinement coverslip, Merche Rivas for cell culture of immune cells and further support from the CRG Core Facilities for Genomics and Advanced Light Microscopy.

Here, we report a simple strategy for synthesizing a palladium-based heterostructured electrocatalyst supported on a carbon nitride matrix (PdH-Pd@CN), which exhibits remarkable ORR activity with a half-wave potential of 0.91 V and excellent durability in 0.1 M KOH. Within the heterostructure, hydrogen intercalation expands the Pd lattice, while interstitial hydrogen doping facilitates charge transfer from Pd to H owing to their electronegativity difference. These synergistic effects modulate the electronic structure, thereby enhancing both activity and stability. When employed in Zn-air batteries, PdH-Pd@CN delivers a maximum power density of 176 mW cm− (Liu et al., 2025) and capacity of 805 mAh g− (Sun et al., 2021) Zn. These findings demonstrate the strong potential of PdH-Pd@CN as an efficient ORR electrocatalyst for next-generation metal-air batteries and related energy technologies.","lang":"eng"}],"publication":"Chemical Engineering Science","status":"public","publication_status":"published","day":"01","date_updated":"2026-07-27T11:03:48Z","acknowledged_ssus":[{"_id":"EM-Fac"},{"_id":"NanoFab"}],"oa_version":"Published Version","article_processing_charge":"Yes (in subscription journal)","date_published":"2026-04-01T00:00:00Z","tmp":{"short":"CC BY (4.0)","image":"/images/cc_by.png","name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode"},"publisher":"Elsevier","oa":1,"volume":324,"intvolume":"       324","OA_place":"publisher","publication_identifier":{"eissn":["0009-2509"],"issn":["1873-4405"]},"quality_controlled":"1","month":"04","type":"journal_article","file":[{"date_updated":"2026-07-27T11:03:37Z","file_size":8345535,"access_level":"open_access","relation":"main_file","success":1,"creator":"dernst","date_created":"2026-07-27T11:03:37Z","content_type":"application/pdf","checksum":"c47f1704be452cdefb2b930884693578","file_name":"2026_ChemicalEngineeringScience_Shi.pdf","file_id":"22418"}],"citation":{"ieee":"C.

They are force-free and can be described as hydrodynamic force dipoles: pushers or pullers. This modelling description is broadly used in biological physics and active matter research, and it has successfully predicted, for example, the superfluid behaviour of suspensions of pushers or the bend instability and emergence of turbulent flows in active nematics. However, this description accounts only for the translational motion of the swimming body and neglects the effects of hydrodynamic torque dipoles, which are relevant to bacteria with rotary motor-driven flagella, such as swimming Escherichia coli. Here we show that the torque dipole of confined swimming E. coli can power the persistent rotation of symmetric discs. The torque dipole leads to a traction force on the discs, an additive mechanism that is both contactless and independent of the orientation of the bacteria. Our results indicate that the torque dipole of swimming E. coli is notable in confined geometries, which is relevant to bacterial transport through porous materials, biofilms and the development of chiral fluids.","lang":"eng"}],"dataavailabilitystatement":"The datasets generated and analysed during the current study are openly available via Zenodo at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15236674 (ref. 32).

Nonetheless, the mechanisms by which additives influence the formation and characteristics of the inorganic solid–electrolyte interphase (SEI) are not yet fully elucidated. Herein, we investigate how Zn(CF3COO)2 additives influence solvation structure and elucidate the mechanism by which these additives promote the dual reduction of anions. Through cryo-transmission electron microscopy analysis, we identified the SEI as a highly amorphous ZnS/ZnF2 phase. This amorphous hybrid SEI demonstrates exceptional stability, mechanical robustness, and high Zn2+ conductivity, effectively mitigating parasitic reactions and enhancing Zn plating/stripping reversibility. Even under elevated current densities, the Zn anode exhibits ultra-stable longevity and ultra-high reversibility. This study provides a comprehensive understanding of the intrinsic mechanisms governing solvation structure modulation that lead to the formation of amorphous hybrid SEI, underscoring their efficacy in enhancing the performance and durability of AZIBs."}],"title":"Modulating the solvation structure to enhance amorphous solid electrolyte interface formation for ultra-stable aqueous zinc anode","article_type":"original","citation":{"mla":"Zeng, Guifang, et al. “Modulating the Solvation Structure to Enhance Amorphous Solid Electrolyte Interface Formation for Ultra-Stable Aqueous Zinc Anode.” <i>Energy and Environmental Science</i>, vol. 18, no. 4, Royal Society of Chemistry, 2025, pp. 1683–95, doi:<a href=\"https://doi.org/10.1039/d4ee03750b\">10.1039/d4ee03750b</a>.","short":"G.

We address these challenges by using an extrusion-based 3D printing technique to fabricate high-performance thermoelectric materials. Our ink formulations ensure the integrity of the 3D-printed structure and effective particle bonding during sintering, achieving record-high figure of merit (zT) values of 1.42 for p-type bismuth antimony telluride [(Bi,Sb)2Te3] and 1.3 for n-type silver selenide (Ag2Se) materials at room temperature. The resulting TEC demonstrates a cooling temperature gradient of 50°C in air. Moreover, this scalable and cost-effective method circumvents energy-intensive and time-consuming steps, such as ingot preparation and subsequently machining processes, offering a transformative solution for thermoelectric device production and heralding a new era of efficient and sustainable thermoelectric technologies."}],"title":"Interfacial bonding enhances thermoelectric cooling in 3D-printed materials","_id":"19364","doi":"10.1126/science.ads0426","issue":"6736","acknowledgement":"This work was supported by the Scientific Service Units (SSU) of ISTA through resources provided by the Electron Microscopy Facility (EMF), the Lab Support Facility (LSF), the Communication & Events facility, the Miba Machine Shop, and the Nanofabrication Facility (NNF).

Moreover, thanks to their high impedance, quantum buses made of such materials enable large zero-point fluctuations of the voltage, boosting the coupling rates to spin and charge qubits. However, fully exploiting the potential of disordered or granular superconductors is challenging, as their inductance and, therefore, impedance at high values are difficult to control. Here, we report a reproducible fabrication of granular aluminium resonators by developing a wireless ohmmeter, which allows in situ measurements during film deposition and, therefore, control of the kinetic inductance of granular aluminium films. Reproducible fabrication of circuits with impedances (inductances) exceeding 13 kΩ (1 nH per square) is now possible. By integrating a 7.9 kΩ resonator with a germanium double quantum dot, we demonstrate strong charge-photon coupling with a rate of gc/2π = 566 ± 2 MHz. This broadly applicable method opens the path for novel qubits and high-fidelity, long-distance two-qubit gates."}],"ec_funded":1,"ddc":["530"],"title":"Strong charge-photon coupling in planar germanium enabled by granular aluminium superinductors","article_processing_charge":"Yes","date_published":"2025-03-01T00:00:00Z","day":"01","date_updated":"2026-05-20T06:34:51Z","acknowledged_ssus":[{"_id":"M-Shop"},{"_id":"NanoFab"}],"oa_version":"Published Version","APC_amount":"7068 EUR","status":"public","publication":"Nature Communications","publication_status":"published","department":[{"_id":"GeKa"},{"_id":"JoFi"},{"_id":"M-Shop"}],"date_created":"2025-03-16T23:01:23Z","author":[{"orcid":"0009-0003-9037-8831","first_name":"Marian","full_name":"Janik, Marian","last_name":"Janik","id":"396A1950-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87"},{"first_name":"Kevin Etienne Robert","full_name":"Roux, Kevin Etienne Robert","id":"53f93ea2-803f-11ed-ab7e-b283135794ef","last_name":"Roux"},{"first_name":"Carla N","full_name":"Borja Espinosa, Carla N","last_name":"Borja Espinosa","id":"18777c01-896a-11ed-bdf8-e4851dc07d16"},{"first_name":"Oliver","last_name":"Sagi","id":"71616374-A8E9-11E9-A7CA-09ECE5697425","full_name":"Sagi, Oliver"},{"first_name":"Abdulhamid","full_name":"Baghdadi, Abdulhamid","last_name":"Baghdadi","id":"160D87FA-96B5-11E9-BF77-7626E6697425"},{"first_name":"Thomas","last_name":"Adletzberger","id":"38756BB2-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Adletzberger, Thomas"},{"first_name":"Stefano","last_name":"Calcaterra","full_name":"Calcaterra, Stefano"},{"first_name":"Marc","last_name":"Botifoll","full_name":"Botifoll, Marc"},{"first_name":"Alba","full_name":"Garzón Manjón, Alba","last_name":"Garzón Manjón"},{"first_name":"Jordi","last_name":"Arbiol","full_name":"Arbiol, Jordi"},{"first_name":"Daniel","last_name":"Chrastina","full_name":"Chrastina, Daniel"},{"first_name":"Giovanni","full_name":"Isella, Giovanni","last_name":"Isella"},{"first_name":"Ioan M.","last_name":"Pop","full_name":"Pop, Ioan M."},{"full_name":"Katsaros, Georgios","id":"38DB5788-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Katsaros","orcid":"0000-0001-8342-202X","first_name":"Georgios"}],"has_accepted_license":"1","doi":"10.1038/s41467-025-57252-4","DOAJ_listed":"1","_id":"19401","scopus_import":"1","acknowledgement":"We acknowledge Franco De Palma, Mahya Khorramshahi, Fabian Oppliger, Thomas Reisinger, Pasquale Scarlino and Xiao Xue for helpful discussions.

For such hybrid devices, subgap states play a prominent role in their operation. In this paper, we study these subgap states via Coulomb and tunneling spectroscopy through a superconducting island defined in a semiconductor nanowire fully coated by a superconductor. We systematically explore regimes ranging from an almost decoupled island to the open configuration. In the weak-coupling regime, the experimental observations are very similar in the absence of a magnetic field and when one flux quantum pierces the superconducting shell. Conversely, in the strong-coupling regime, significant distinctions emerge between the two cases. We attribute this distinct behavior to the existence of subgap states at one flux quantum, which become observable only for sufficiently strong coupling to the leads. We support our interpretation using a simple model to describe transport through the island. Our study highlights the importance of studying a broad range of tunnel couplings for understanding the rich physics of hybrid devices."}],"publication":"Physical Review Research","status":"public","publication_status":"published","article_processing_charge":"Yes","date_published":"2025-04-01T00:00:00Z","date_updated":"2026-06-11T09:13:12Z","day":"01","oa_version":"Published Version","APC_amount":"3036,92 EUR","acknowledged_ssus":[{"_id":"M-Shop"},{"_id":"NanoFab"}],"OA_place":"publisher","intvolume":"         7","publication_identifier":{"issn":["2643-1564"]},"tmp":{"short":"CC BY (4.0)","image":"/images/cc_by.png","name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode"},"publisher":"American Physical Society","volume":7,"oa":1,"month":"04","type":"journal_article","quality_controlled":"1","file":[{"success":1,"relation":"main_file","file_size":1977581,"access_level":"open_access","date_updated":"2025-04-22T09:00:08Z","file_id":"19604","file_name":"2025_PhysReviewResearch_Valentini.pdf","checksum":"535351066e9c900340ef014893a09ac8","content_type":"application/pdf","date_created":"2025-04-22T09:00:08Z","creator":"dernst"}],"citation":{"ama":"Valentini M, Souto RS, Borovkov M, et al.
