Cooperative field localization and excitation eigenmodes in disordered metamaterials by Papasimakis, Nikitas, Jenkins, Stewart D., Savo, Salvatore, Zheludev, Nikolay I., Ruostekoski, Janne

“…We find substantially increased standard deviation of the Purcell enhancement with disorder, making it increasingly likely to find collective excitation eigenmodes with very high Purcell factors that are also stronger for magnetic than electric excitations. …”

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. …”

Match making in complex social networks by Mao, Fubing, Ma, Lijia, He, Qiang, Xiao, Gaoxi

“…Our observations show that, in a more densely connected social network, individuals’ efforts for seeking for matches with the strongest partners would be more likely to end up with matching with someone similar to themselves. …”

Let's choose one of each: using the partition dependence effect to increase diversity in organizations by Feng, Zhiyu, Liu, Yukun, Wang, Zhen, Savani, Krishna

“…When choosing a single candidate, people were more likely to choose candidates who were not partitioned together than candidates who were partitioned together (Study 7). …”

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. …”

The role of ion exchange in the passivation of In(Zn)P nanocrystals with ZnS by Cho, Deok-Yong, Xi, Lifei, Boothroyd, Chris, Kardynal, Beata, Lam, Yeng Ming

“…This substantial atomic exchange is very likely to be the reason for the improved photoluminescence behavior of the core-shell particles compare to In(Zn)P-only NCs as S can passivate the NCs surfaces.…”

Characterizing the conformational landscape of MDM2-binding p53 peptides using molecular dynamics simulations by Yadahalli, Shilpa, Li, Jianguo, Lane, David P., Gosavi, Shachi, Verma, Chandra Shekhar

“…Complementing earlier observations, the current study suggests that the p53 peptides largely follow the ‘conformational selection’ paradigm in their recognition of and complexation by MDM2 while the 12/1 peptides likely undergo some element of conformational selection but are mostly driven by ‘binding induced folding’. …”

Conditional prosociality in development: deconstructing social and materialistic factors that modulate early prosocial behavior by Lee, Kristy Jia Jin

“…In terms of resource sharing, children behaved less selfishly toward the victim than the transgressor, but remained selfish by and large as they were not more likely than chance to share their resources with either actress. …”

Nonvolatile resistive switching in Pt/LaAlO3/SrTiO3 heterostructures by Wu, Shuxiang, Luo, Xin, Turner, Stuart, Peng, Haiyang, Lin, Weinan, Ding, Junfeng, David, Adrian, Wang, Biao, Van Tendeloo, Gustaaf, Wang, Junling, Wu, Tom

“…We propose that the observed resistive switching is likely caused by the electric-field-induced drift of charged oxygen vacancies across the LaAlO3/SrTiO3 interface and the creation of defect-induced gap states within the ultrathin LaAlO3 layer. …”

EDTA-enhanced thermal washing of contaminated dredged marine sediments for heavy metal removal by Yin, Ke, Giannis, Apostolos, Wong, Angeline S. Y., Wang, Jing-Yuan

“…Sequencing processes of thermal treatment followed by EDTA washing showed limited performance, likely due to thermal stabilization of the contaminants particularly at low liquid-to-soil (L/S) ratio. …”
