The properties of a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) in a semiconductor host with two valleys related by an underlying C4 rotational symmetry are studied using Hartree-Fock (HF) and various other many-body approaches. A familiar artifact of the HF approach is a degeneracy between the valley polarized - “Ising nematic” - ...

Regulatory Mechanisms of Cargo Transport Kinesin MotorsKinesins are mechanochemical molecular motors that convert the chemical energy of ATP hydrolysis into mechanical work. Kinesins are capable of stepping processively along intracellular microtubules, a mechanism harnessed by cells to transport a myriad of intracellular cargos in a directional fashion. A subset of kinesin motors is specialized for long-distance ...
Semiconductors power almost every aspect of modern life, from our mobile phones and computers, to how we light our homes, how we store and transform energy, or how we can access renewable energy. Understanding the complex quantum mechanical processes that make some semiconductors more useful than others in the context ...
Environmental icon Jane Goodall returns to Climate One in person to reflect back on her life’s work and offer a look forward to how we can heal our relationship with nature by better understanding ourselves. The indefatigable Goodall is now focused on three intertwined crises: biodiversity loss, climate change and ...
