Bio-catalyzed oxidation self-charging zinc-polymer batteries by Pan, Jun, Liu, Yanhong, Yang, Jian, Wu, Jiawen, Fan, Hong Jin

“…The heme acts as a catalyst that reduces the energy barrier of the autoxidation reaction by regulating the charge and spin state of O2. To realize self-charging, the adsorbed O2 molecules capture electrons of the reduced (discharged state) PANI, leading to the desorption of zinc ions and the oxidation of PANI to complete self-charging. …”

Non-Abelian adiabatic geometric transformations in a cold strontium gas by Leroux, Frederic, Miniatura, Christian, Grémaud, Benoît, Wilkowski, David, Rebhi, Riadh, Pandey, K., Chevy, F.

“…Topology, geometry, and gauge fields play key roles in quantum physics as exemplified by fundamental phenomena such as the Aharonov–Bohm effect, the integer quantum Hall effect, the spin Hall, and topological insulators. The concept of topological protection has also become a salient ingredient in many schemes for quantum information processing and fault-tolerant quantum computation. …”
