Read moreResearchers investigated the topological insulator bismuth selenide by spin-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy. They found an astonishing difference depending on whether it is illuminated by circularly polarized light in the vacuum ultraviolet and in the ultraviolet spectral range. This result could help explaining how spin currents can be generated in topological insulators.

Read moreIn vitro compartmentalization of biochemical reaction networks is a crucial step towards engineering artificial cell-scale devices and systems. At this scale the dynamics of molecular systems becomes stochastic, which introduces several engineering challenges and opportunities. In new work, researchers studied a programmable transcriptional oscillator system that is compartmentalized into microemulsion droplets with volumes between 33 fl and 16 pl.
