Evolving understanding of electric fields and enzyme catalysisLocal internal electric fields created by the organized environment in complex systems like proteins can be measured using the vibrational Stark effect (VSE). We have found that these fields can be very large and can affect chemical reactivity. I will briefly explain the underlying physical concept and strategy we have ...
Condensed matter physics has witnessed emergent quantum phenomena driven by electron correlation and topology. Such phenomena have been mostly observed in conventional crystalline materials where flat electronic bands are available. In recent years, moiré superlattices built upon two-dimensional (2D) materials emerged as a new platform to engineer and study electron ...
