Molecular motors are the tiny building blocks of life and are key to a wide range of biological functions at the molecular level. They change their shape upon interacting with a substrate molecule. Identifying these conformational changes is critical to understanding the intricate catalysis and signalling processes of a cell. Since the lateral dimensions of molecular motors are two orders of...

The proper function of cells is directly related to the subcellular compartmentalization and spatial distribution of a broad range of molecular species, from enzymes to metabolites and signaling molecules. Determining the spatial distribution of biomolecules within cells is therefore crucial for understanding fundamental cellular mechanisms; yet there is a lack of technologies capable of in...

The man-made climate crisis is, irrefutably, one of the greatest challenges of the 21st century. Scientists across the entire globe and every research field have put forth possible solutions in an effort to mitigate its effects and slow its progress. The MOST concept, short for “Molecular Solar Thermal”, is focused on the development of organic photoswitches that transform into high-energy...

Quantum phenomena in condensed matter that are difficult to access experimentally can be investigated using photonic analog quantum simulation, where classical light emulates quantum dynamics. In coupled optical waveguide arrays, evanescent coupling mimics electronic tunneling, enabling the study of tunable band structures and topological effects. Topological materials exhibit topologically...

Quantum technologies are reshaping our understanding of computation and communication, promising capabilities fundamentally beyond classical limits. Among the many physical platforms under investigation, solid-state emitters stand out for their potential scalability and on-chip integrability — making them attractive building blocks for future quantum network nodes.
