The widespread use of molecular machines in biology has long suggested that great
rewards could come from bridging the gap between synthetic molecular systems and the …

In systems possessing spatial or dynamical symmetry breaking, Brownian motion combined
with unbiased external input signals, deterministic and random alike, can assist directed …

Diode is one of the basic electronic components. It has a nonreciprocal current response,
associated with a broken space/time reversal symmetry. Here we demonstrate prototypes of …

A superconducting diode is an electronic device that conducts supercurrent and exhibits
zero resistance primarily for one direction of applied current. Such a dissipationless diode is …

We theoretically investigate asymmetric two-junction SQUIDs with different current-phase
relations in the two Josephson junctions, involving higher Josephson harmonics. Our main …

The widespread use of controlled molecular‐level motion in key natural processes suggests
that great rewards could come from bridging the gap between the present generation of …

Ratchet effects can arise for single or collectively interacting Brownian particles on an
asymmetric substrate when a net dc transport is produced by an externally applied ac …

The rise of two-dimensional (2D) crystalline superconductors has opened a new frontier of
investigating unconventional quantum phenomena in low dimensions. However, despite the …

Brownian transport of self-propelled overdamped microswimmers (like Janus particles) in
a<? format?> two-dimensional periodically compartmentalized channel is numerically …

The recent development of artificially fabricated van der Waals nanostructures makes it
possible to design and control the symmetry of solids and to find novel physical properties …
