Quantum-inspired classical algorithms for molecular vibronic spectra
Nature Physics, Published online: 10 January 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-023-02308-9
It has been suggested that Gaussian boson sampling may provide a quantum computational advantage for calculating the vibronic spectra of molecules. Now, an equally efficient classical algorithm has been identified.Discrete degeneracies distinguished by the anomalous Hall effect in a metallic kagome ice compound
Nature Physics, Published online: 10 January 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-023-02307-w
Transport measurements of the metallic kagome spin ice HoAgGe show that it has an emergent discrete symmetry that is not apparent from measurements of its magnetization.Interacting loop models explain the flows of active fluids in hydraulic networks
Nature Physics, Published online: 09 January 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-023-02315-w
Predicting the complex flows that emerge in active fluid networks remains a challenge. A combination of experiments and theory was used to determine the hydraulic laws of active fluids. Analogies with frustrated magnetism and loop models explain the emergent flow patterns that result when active fluids explore pipe networks.Friction pulls cells into shape

A promising pathway towards the laser cooling of a molecule containing a radioactive atom has been identified. The unique structure of such a molecule means that it can act as a magnifying lens to probe fundamental physics.Precision spectroscopy and laser-cooling scheme of a radium-containing molecule
Nature Physics, Published online: 09 January 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-023-02296-w
Measurements of the rovibronic structure of radium monofluoride molecules allow the identification of a laser cooling scheme. This will enable precise tests of fundamental physics, such as searches for parity or time-reversal symmetry violation.Active hydraulics laws from frustration principles
Nature Physics, Published online: 09 January 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-023-02301-2
Experiments with active colloidal fluids in large-scale hydraulic networks reveal a connection between emergent flows and dynamical spin-ice patterns.Friction forces determine cytoplasmic reorganization and shape changes of ascidian oocytes upon fertilization
Nature Physics, Published online: 09 January 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-023-02302-1
Friction forces at the interface between tissues play a key role in tissue morphogenesis. Now friction at the cellular scale is shown to influence cell shape and cell rearrangements.Cells play tug-of-war to start moving collectively
Nature Physics, Published online: 08 January 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-023-02314-x
Orderly or coherent multicellular flows are fundamental in biology, but their triggers are not understood. In epithelial tissues, the tug-of-war between cells is now shown to lead to intrinsic asymmetric distributions in cell polarities that drive such flows.Bipolarity of large anomalous Nernst effect in Weyl magnet-based alloy films
Nature Physics, Published online: 08 January 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-023-02293-z
The key to enhance the output of a thermoelectric device is to be able to regulate the thermoelectric voltage generation. Topological magnet Co3Sn2S2-based devices show the way to achieve that goal.Spontaneous rotations in epithelia as an interplay between cell polarity and boundaries
Nature Physics, Published online: 08 January 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-023-02295-x
Coherent motion of cells plays an important role in morphogenesis. Experiments with cellular rings, supported by numerical simulations, suggest that cell polarity and acto-myosin cables are important factors in the onset of coherence.Σελίδες
