Excitons do the Long Jump – published in Physical Review Letters
When light is absorbed in organic materials, its energy is converted into excitons (electronic excitations) that normally move around by “hopping” from molecule to molecule. This is important in photosynthesis or solar cells, for...

Direct Observation of Josephson Vortex Cores – published in Nature Physics
When a normal metal is brought in contact with a superconductor, Cooper pairs may leak into the metal inducing genuine superconducting properties in it, an effect generically referred to as proximity effect. In particular,...
Enhancement of Near-field Radiative Heat Transfer Using Polar dielectric Thin Films – published in Nature Nanotechnology
Thermal radiation plays a major role in energy conversion, thermal management, and data storage. In recent years, several experiments on thermal radiation between bulk materials have demonstrated that radiative heat transfer can be greatly...
