An exciton is a bound pair of negatively charged electron and positively charged hole
(electron vacancy within a solid), both of which are held together by their mutual Coulomb …

The phycobilisome antennas, which contain phycobilin pigments instead of chlorophyll, are
crucial for the photosynthetic activity of Cyanidioschyzon merolae cells, which thrive in an …

The increased decay rate of a two-level system weakly coupled to an optical cavity, known
as the Purcell effect, is a cornerstone of cavity QED. However, the effect of cavity coupling is …

Delineation of the characteristic that defines a system as alive is postulated; this criterion
serves as a provisional definition for when matter and energy are in the state of being alive …

The purpose of this article is to provide some clues as to why certain phenomena, such as
intelligence and consciousness, need to be studied together in order to become fully part of …

Accurate models for open quantum systems--quantum states that have non-trivial
interactions with their environment--may aid in the advancement of a diverse array of fields …

Exciton condensation, the Bose-Einstein-like condensation of quasibosonic particle-hole
pairs, has been the subject of much theoretical and experimental interest and holds promise …

Elucidation of many chemical behaviors and properties depends on our ability to model the
physics of electron-electron interactions at reasonable computational expense with …

The International Space Federation has a new biophysics research paper in preprint. In this
preliminary publication a key characteristic that distinguishes the living system from abiotic …

Hordeum vulgare, known as Barley in English and Jamara in Nepali, is used in the Dashain
festival traditionally. For this project, the seeds of Barley were collected from the Kathmandu …
