text: UTe2 exhibits the remarkable phenomenon of re-entrant superconductivity, whereby
the zero-resistance state reappears above 40 tesla after being suppressed with
a field of around 10 tesla. 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.

text: Insulating oxides are among the most abundant solid materials in the universe1,2,3.
Of the many ways in which they influence natural phenomena, perhaps the most consequential
is their capacity to transfer electrical charge during contact4,5,6,7,8,9,10—which
occurs even between samples of the same oxide—yet the symmetry-breaking parameter
that causes this remains unidentified11,12. 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.

text: UTe2 exhibits the remarkable phenomenon of re-entrant superconductivity, whereby
the zero-resistance state reappears above 40 tesla after being suppressed with
a field of around 10 tesla. 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 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.

text: Auxin, primarily indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), is a central regulator of growth
and development in land plants, but its physiological role in chlorophyte algae
remains unclear. 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.

text: Arrays of Josephson junctions can be tuned through anomalous metallic, quantum-critical,
and insulating regimes. 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.

text: High-voltage disordered spinel LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 is a promising cathode material
for high power density in lithium-ion batteries. 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.

text: The oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) remains a critical bottleneck in fuel
cells and metal-air batteries due to the lack of highly efficient electrocatalysts.
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.

text: 'Swimming bacteria move through a fluid by actuating their moving body parts.
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.'

text: Planar germanium is currently the only semiconducting platform where high-coherence
spin qubits and proximity-induced superconductivity have each been demonstrated.
Recent research into spin qubits in Ge/SiGe heterostructures has focused on increasing
the thickness of the SiGe capping layer, reporting improvements in the electrostatic
noise levels. Meanwhile, heterostructures with thinner capping layers remain rather
unexplored, despite the potential advantages for proximity-induced superconductivity.
Here, we study a Ge/SiGe heterostructure with a thin SiGe cap d - 4nm and investigate
its viability to host low-noise quantum dots. To keep the thermal budget compatible
with superconducting layers, low-temperature oxide deposition processes were developed
and implemented for the gate dielectrics. The charge noise level of the fabricated
devices is estimated to be 1.8 +- 1.0 μeV/ square HZ, comparable to devices
fabricated on shallow heterostructures ( d - 20nm) with high-temperature deposited
oxides. Low charge noise levels, together with the straightforward integration
of superconductors, make this heterostructure an attractive platform for prototyping
hybrid semiconducting–superconducting devices.

text: Silver selenide (Ag2Se) is a promising near-room-temperature thermoelectric
material, but its narrow stoichiometric window and β–α phase transition complicate
reproducible microstructure control. Here, we present a mismatch-assisted microstructure
engineering strategy in which Ag2Se particles are treated with polyanionic ZnSe
complexes and consolidated through the β–α transition to introduce ZnSe nanoprecipitates,
Ag2Se/ZnSe interfaces, and local strain fields. The crystallographic mismatch
between ZnSe and Ag2Se, together with the Zn2+/Ag+ size difference, amplifies
phase-transition-induced deformation and promotes high-density dislocations with
periodic strain modulations. This defect architecture suppresses grain coarsening,
removes excess Ag, limits Ag-interstitial formation, and reduces lattice thermal
conductivity through lattice softening and multiscale phonon scattering. Ag2Se–4%ZnSe
nanocomposites achieve a peak zTmax of 1.13 at 369 K and a zTavg of 1.08 from
300 to 380 K, demonstrating mismatch-driven defect engineering through the β–α
phase transition as a route for optimizing Ag2Se-based thermoelectrics.

text: "Atoms and photons, two things so different but yet so alike. 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."

text: The distribution of entanglement across distant qubits is a central challenge
for the operation of scalable quantum computers and large-scale quantum networks.
Existing approaches rely on deterministic state transfer, or probabilistic protocols
that require active control or measurements and postselection. Here, we demonstrate
a fundamentally different, fully autonomous process, where two remote qubits are
entangled through their coupling to a quantum-correlated photonic reservoir. In
our experiment, a Josephson parametric converter produces a Gaussian, continuous-variable
entangled state of propagating microwave fields that drives two spatially separated
superconducting transmon qubits into a stationary, discrete-variable entangled
state. We also show how qubit tomography unlocks a direct and sensitive verification
of two-mode squeezing in the microwave domain. These results establish networks
of qubits interfaced with distributed continuous-variable entangled states as
a powerful platform for foundational studies and quantum-technology applications.

text: Alkali salts are widely used in solution processing, yet the corresponding
cations are often assumed to remain in the liquid phase. Here, we show that alkali
ions introduced during the solution synthesis of SnSe are retained through particle
isolation and continue to influence the material during subsequent thermal processing,
where they shape the evolution of the final polycrystalline material. Different
SnSe powders were prepared using Li+, Na+, and K+ precursors, as well as tetramethylammonium
(TMA+) precursors as a nonalkali reference for comparison, and all samples were
consolidated under identical conditions. Although all three alkali ions were found
in the matrix, at grain boundaries, and in segregated nanoscale regions, they
partitioned differently and resulted in distinct grain sizes, defect distributions,
and therefore transport properties. Li induced the strongest grain size heterogeneity
and the lowest energy barriers, Na the best overall balance between carrier concentration
and mobility, and K the broadest alkali-rich grain boundary regions along with
the strongest interfacial penalty to charge carrier transport. These results show
that residual alkali ions are not just remnants of solution synthesis but active
determinants of microstructure and thermoelectric performance in SnSe.

text: Equilibrium quantum systems are often described by a gas of weakly interacting
normal modes. 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.

text: Effective immune responses rely on the efficient migration of leukocytes.
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.

text: "Contact electrification (CE) is a simple yet elusive phenomenon that occurs
when two materials come into contact and separate, leaving behind net electrical
charge. Despite its ubiquity, the microscopic origin of CE remains unclear. In
this thesis, we investigate CE from three complementary perspectives: developing
a quantitative method to measure charge at the nanoscale, exploring the dynamic
behavior of charge on insulating surfaces, and uncovering the role of mechanical
history in forming a triboelectric series.\r\n\r\nIn the first part, we establish
a rigorous framework for converting qualitative Kelvin probe force microscopy
(KPFM) voltage maps into quantitative charge density distributions. Using finite
element method (FEM) simulations, we determine the point-spread function of the
KPFM tip–sample geometry and demonstrate that the true surface charge can be reconstructed
by numerical deconvolution. This procedure enables the recovery of both the magnitude
and sign of charge density with high fidelity, resolving nanoscale features that
are otherwise obscured. Applying the method to contact-charged SiO$_2$ surfaces,
we show that existing analytical approximations, such as parallel plate or spherical
models, can miscalculate charge magnitude by orders of magnitude. Our hybrid FEM/KPFM
approach therefore provides a fast and general method to convert qualitative KPFM
signals into quantitative charge data, enabling nanoscale charge mapping under
realistic experimental conditions.\r\n\r\nIn the second part, we study the temporal
stability of CE-induced charges and identify the key material factors that determine
whether KPFM can capture meaningful charge patterns. Through time-resolved experiments
combining a custom-built transfer system with both microscopic and macroscopic
measurements, we demonstrate that only the best insulators, such as SiO$_2$, preserve
CE charge long enough for stationary imaging. For less conductive polymers, such
as PDMS, charge decays within the duration of a single KPFM scan due to bulk conduction.
Using a simple capacitor-based model, we reproduce the observed decay dynamics
and confirm that the transferred charge decays characteristic to the sample's
bulk conductivity. Further, we always observe homogeneous charge transfer.\r\n\r\nIn
the third part, we address the question: can we form a triboelectric series with
identical materials? Using controlled repetitive contact experiments, we show
that nominally identical materials can progressively order themselves into a triboelectric
series, where surfaces with more contact history charge negatively relative to
fresher ones. By constructing a minimal model based on this ``contact bias'',
we replicate the evolution from random to ordered charging observed in experiments.
Supporting surface analyses, including atomic force microscopy, reveal that repeated
contact induces nanoscale morphological changes, suggesting a mechanism tightly
coupled to mechanical strain. These results highlight the crucial role of surface
history and nanoscale mechanics in dictating charge transfer, motivating further
exploration of mechanisms such as mechanochemical bond cleavage and flexoelectric
polarization."

text: "We report on an experimental active matter system with motion restricted
to four cardinal directions. Our particles are magnetite-doped colloidal spheres
driven by the Quincke electrorotational instability. The absence of a magnetic
field (|\U0001D469|=0) leads to circular trajectories interspersed with short
spontaneous runs. Intermediate fields (|\U0001D469|≲20mT) linearize the motion
along the axis perpendicular to \U0001D469. At high magnetic fields, we observe
the surprising emergence of a second, distinct linearization along the axis parallel
to \U0001D469. With numerical simulations, we show that this behavior can be explained
by anisotropic magnetic susceptibility."

text: Electrolyte additives are extensively validated effective in mitigating dendrite
growth and parasitic reactions in aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs). 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.

text: Thermoelectric coolers (TECs) are pivotal in modern heat management but face
limitations in efficiency and manufacturing scalability. 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.
