Antiferromagnetic spintronics has been a very active research area of condensed matter in recent years. As we have learned how to manipulate collinear antiferromagnets actively and their emergent topology by means of new types of spin-orbit torques, a key problem remained: the inefficiency of relativistic mechanism. The necessity of relativistic effects to manipulate and detect Néel order...

Atomistic simulation based on quantum mechanics (QM) is currently being revolutionized by machine-learning (ML) methods. Many existing approaches use ML to predict materials properties based on first principles reference data. This has enabled materials property prediction within vast compound spaces and high-dimensional parametrization of energy landscapes for the efficient simulation of...

In lightwave electronics, optical carrier fields act as alternating voltages to accelerate electrons within less than a cycle of light. This way, crystal electrons can move without scattering, unleashing an all-coherent quantum world full of promise for future quantum technologies [1].

The emerging field of nanofluidics explores the molecular mechanics of fluids at the smallest scales. This realm of the "infinitely small in fluidics" is the frontier where the continuum of fluid dynamics meets the atomic nature of matter, and even its quantum nature. Observations unveil a cabinet of curiosities of singular properties, from frictionless flow to neuromorphic behaviors.

Piezoelectric microelectromechanical systems (piezoMEMS) provide a versatile platform to exploit electromechanical coupling at the microscale, enabled by the intrinsic crystalline anisotropy of piezoelectric materials. The interplay between structure and polarization allows the conversion of electrical stimuli into mechanical deformation (converse effect), as well as mechanical excitations...

Confinement of a 2D electron gas to form a 1D system allows observation of conductance quantization with values of 2ne2/h where the integer n is 1,2,3,4 and the factor of 2 is spin degeneracy. This formula is based on spatial quantization and ballistic conduction. However, in 1996 a deviation from this simple behaviour occurred when a conductance plateau, or structure, was found near...

Lyotropic liquid crystals of 1-, 2-, or 3-dimensional periodicity spontaneously assemble when lipids are mixed with aqueous solvent under various conditions of temperature, pressure and hydration. The most relevant non-lamellar phases from a biological perspective are the inverse hexagonal HII phase, and the inverse cubic phases. There are two quite distinct types of inverse cubic phase:...

Quantum many-body theories are used to describe the physics of quantum systems with many strongly interacting particles. In condensed matter physics, these theories are typically applied to effective low-energy lattice models, which are designed to capture only the essential degrees of freedom of a solid. Such models contain phenomenological parameters and are often not predictive.

Particle accelerators have been the cornerstone of experimental high-energy physics for over a century and the quest for higher energies and luminosities continues to drive innovation in accelerator science. Following the European Strategy for Particle Physics roadmap, the community is actively preparing for the post-LHC era, with next-generation accelerator technologies under development...

Magnetic activity is a fundamental property of cool stars with convective envelopes and a key driver of their variability. Our physical understanding of stellar magnetic activity is rooted in the Sun, where high-resolution observations have revealed how magnetic field modifies near-surface convection leading to the formation of different magnetic features such as dark sunspots and bright...

From simple molecular feedstocks, energy-dense and processable chemicals can be synthesized over heterogeneous catalysts. From a surface chemical physics perspective, these reactions can be modelled as a series of elementary reaction steps funneled through a potential energy landscape. A mechanistic understanding of these processes is of essence, as it enables tuning of the catalyst's activity...
