Photonic metamaterials have fascinating properties for light, with many applications from communication and imaging to photovoltaics and topological physics. They are however notoriously difficult to design, owing to the large parameter space and multidimensional design targets. We want to...

What is the minimum energy required to switch or erase an optical bit in finite time? And does the energy requirement change if the bit is quantum instead of classical? Answering these questions, which are vital to information processing with optical systems, is the goal of this...

Mycorrhizal Fungi are ubiquitous symbiotic soil organisms that are critical to the majority of terrestrial ecosystems. They form underground networks that account for 25-50% of soil biomass worldwide and support plant growth by forming underground trade networks with a major impact global carbon...

Molecular cages are self-organizing supramolecular systems that act as molecular sieves, allowing specific molecules/ions to enter the cage while blocking most other molecules and ions. This selectivity is of crucial importance in catalysis. Up to now, the molecular-scale structure and dynamics...
