Recent years have seen tremendous progress in the theoretical understanding of quantum
systems driven dissipatively by coupling to different baths at their edges. This was possible …

Single-molecule junctions—devices in which a single molecule is electrically connected by
two electrodes—enable the study of a broad range of quantum-transport phenomena even …

The vivid optical properties of noble metal nanoparticles have been an object of fascination
since ancient times. The ruby red of stained glass windows arises from gold nanoparticles …

The form of energy termed heat that typically derives from lattice vibrations, ie, phonons, is
usually considered as waste energy and, moreover, deleterious to information processing …

Thermodynamic uncertainty relations (TURs) place strict bounds on the fluctuations of
thermodynamic quantities in terms of the associated entropy production. In this Letter, we …

Engines are systems and devices that convert one form of energy into another, typically into
a more useful form that can perform work. In the classical setup, physical, chemical, and …

Understanding energy dissipation and transport in nanoscale structures is of great
importance for the design of energy-efficient circuits and energy-conversion systems. This is …

The concept of electrons moving through single molecules comes in two different guises.
The first is electron transfer, which involves a charge moving from one end of the molecule to …

We review the status of protein-based molecular electronics. First, we define and discuss
fundamental concepts of electron transfer and transport in and across proteins and …

Molecular electronic devices with tunable conductance states show great potential in
building memories and logic components for next-generation circuits. In recent years …
