Metallic surfaces help molecular quantum switch

The quantum dynamics of hydrogen is central to many problems in nature, being strongly influenced by the environment in which it takes place. Scientists address hydrogen transfer within a supported molecular switch, showing that the surface support can play a decisive role in the tunneling reaction.

Carbyne - an unusual form of carbon

The optoelectronic properties of various carbon allotropes and nanomaterials have been well established, while the purely sp-hybridized carbyne remains synthetically inaccessible. Its properties have therefore frequently been extrapolated from those of defined oligomers.

Metal-organic frameworks become flexible

Researchers have used experiments and simulations to find out by what means MOFs can be rendered flexible and why: they tricked the system by using clever chemical manipulations to enable a variety of energetically similar arrangements in the crystalline order.

Highly sensitive detection of circularly polarized light without a filter

Scientists have developed a photodiode using a crystalline film composed of lead perovskite compounds with organic chiral molecules to detect circularly polarized light without a filter. It is expected as a technology for visualization of the invisible change of object surfaces such as stress intensity and distribution.
