Simulating Chemistry with Fermionic Optical Superlattices by Fotios Gkritsis, Daniel Dux, Jin Zhang, Naman Jain, Christian Gogolin, Philipp M. Preiss

“…Using native Hubbard dynamics, trial ground states of molecular Hamiltonians can be prepared and their molecular energies measured in the lattice. The scheme requires local control over interactions and chemical potentials and global control over tunneling dynamics, but foregoes the need for optical tweezers, shuttling operations, or long-range interactions. …”

Use of Nucleic Acid Analogs for the Study of Nucleic Acid Interactions by Shu-ichi Nakano, Masayuki Fujii, Naoki Sugimoto

“…Remarkably, they can adopt two different conformations responding to their interaction energies, and one of them is the stacking conformation of the nonpolar aromatic group causing the site-selective flipping of the opposite base in a DNA double helix. …”

Solar Divergence Collimators for Optical Characterisation of Solar Components by D. Fontani, P. Sansoni, E. Sani, S. Coraggia, D. Jafrancesco, L. Mercatelli

“…Experimentation and laboratory optical tests on solar components are central aspects of the research on renewable energies. The key element of the proposed testing systems is a solar divergence collimator, which exactly reproduces in laboratory the sunlight divergence, while commercial solar simulators are mainly aimed to replicate intensity and spectrum of the sun. …”

Kinetics of corrosive sulfur adsorption in transformer oil with Ag-Y, Ce-Y and Cu-Y zeolites by Deliang He, Ping Li, Jun Hu, Tao Wan

“…Kinetic studies showed the adsorption on these adsorbents can be described by a pseudo-second-order model, and the rate constants increased with increasing temperature, indicating the endothermic nature of the adsorption. The activation energies (E a ) calculated for dibenzyl disulfide and dodecyl mercaptan were over 40 kJ mol −1 which clearly indicated that the adsorption process on the three adsorbents was dominated by chemical adsorption.…”

Adsorption Properties of Lac Dyes on Wool, Silk, and Nylon by Bo Wei, Qiu-Yuan Chen, Guoqiang Chen, Ren-Cheng Tang, Jun Zhang

“…It was found that the adsorption kinetics of lac dyes on the three fibers followed the pseudosecond-order kinetic model, and the adsorption rate of lac dyes was the fastest for silk and the slowest for wool. The activation energies for the adsorption process on wool, silk, and nylon were found to be 107.15, 87.85, and 45.31 kJ/mol, respectively. …”

Parametric Instabilities in Time-Varying Compressible Linear Flows by Ioannis Kiorpelidis, Nikolaos A. Bakas

“…Elliptical instability occurs because the scale of the acoustic waves decreases exponentially and their wave action is conserved, leading to an exponential increase in the acoustic waves’ energies. The instability in shear-varying flows is driven by the interaction between vorticity and the acoustic waves, which couple through the shear and for specific frequencies resonate parametrically, leading to exponential or linear growth.…”

Low-loss on-chip superconducting microwave circulator assisted by shunting capacitors by N. Pradeep Kumar, Dat Thanh Le, Prasanna Pakkiam, Thomas M. Stace, Arkady Fedorov

“…In our previous work, we implemented such a circulator using a three-Josephson-junction loop that exhibited unambiguous nonreciprocity and signal circulation, but required junction energies to be within 1% of design values. This tolerance is tighter than standard junction fabrication methods provide, so we propose and demonstrate a design improvement that relaxes the required junction fabrication precision, allowing for higher device performance and fabrication yield. …”
