By applying a microwave drive to a specially designed Josephson circuit, we have realized
a double-well model system: a Kerr oscillator submitted to a squeezing force. We have …

This work provides an up-to-date account of the use of electron-volt neutron spectroscopy in
materials research. This is a growing area of neutron science, capitalising upon the unique …

The first eight years of operation of the Cold Neutron Chopper Spectrometer (CNCS) at the
Spallation Neutron Source in Oak Ridge is being reviewed. The instrument has been part of …

Abstract The Bernal-Fowler ice rules stipulate that each water molecule in an ice crystal
should form four hydrogen bonds. However, in extreme or constrained conditions, the …

The behavior of water confined at the nanoscale plays a fundamental role in biological
processes and technological applications, including protein folding, translocation of water …

Intermolecular hydrogen bonds impede long-range (anti-) ferroelectric order of water. We
confine H2O molecules in nanosized cages formed by ions of a dielectric crystal. Arranging …

Water is characterized by large molecular electric dipole moments and strong interactions
between molecules; however, hydrogen bonds screen the dipole–dipole coupling and …

Quantum mechanical tunneling (QMT) can play an important role in light element-related
chemical reactions; however, its influence on racemization is not fully understood. Herein …

Two-dimensional (2D) carbides and nitrides of early transition metals (MXenes) combine
high conductivity with hydrophilic surfaces, which make them promising for energy storage …

The static dielectric constant ϵ 0 and its temperature dependence for liquid water is
investigated using neural network quantum molecular dynamics (NNQMD). We compute the …
