Alignment of rod-shaped single-photon emitters driven by line defects in liquid crystals by Pelliser, Laurent, Manceau, Mathieu, Lethiec, Clotilde, Coursault, Delphine, Vezzoli, Stefano, Leménager, Godefroy, Coolen, Laurent, DeVittorio, Massimo, Pisanello, Ferruccio, Carbone, Luigi, Maitre, Agnes, Bramati, Alberto, Lacaze, Emmanuelle

“…It is demonstrated that the electric dipoles associated with the dot-in-rods, tilted with respect to the rods, remain oriented in the plane including the smectic linear defects and perpendicular to the substrate, most likely due to dipole/dipole interactions between the dipoles of the liquid crystal molecules and those of the dot-in-rods. …”

Picosecond charge localization dynamics in CH₃NH₃PbI₃ perovskite probed by infrared-activated vibrations by Stallhofer, Klara, Nuber, Matthias, Cortecchia, Daniele, Bruno, Annalisa, Kienberger, Reinhard, Deschler, Felix, Soci, Cesare, Iglev, Hristo

“…A subpopulation of these can then fall into deeper trapped states over picoseconds, likely due to local reorganization of the organic molecules surrounding the carriers.…”

Incentives and impacts: dissecting individual and collective cheating in organizations by Riyanto, Yohanes Eko, Wang, Yuxin

“…They are honest when their deception cannot change the group's decision but more likely to cheat for a higher collective benefit. However, when their gain is tied only to their own actions, hiding their intent to cheat is futile, leading to consistent cheating behavior regardless of its impact on the group. …”

Gene expression regulation by well-known non-coding RNAs by Tan, Jiazi

“…In one project, we attempted to insert a second Xist gene into the single X chromosome of male murine embryonic stem (ES) cells to cause ectopic XCI upon differentiation, leading to cell lethality as important X-linked genes were inactivated. From there, we could screen for genes important for XCI by rescuing the differentiated transgenic ES cells by gene silencing. …”
