In RBaCo_{2}O_{5+x} compounds (R is rare earth) variability of the oxygen content allows precise doping of CoO_2 planes with both types of charge carriers. We study transport properties of doped GdBaCo_{2}O_{5+x} single crystals and find a…
Signal transmission at the molecular level in many biological complexes occurs through allosteric transitions. They describe the response a complex to binding of ligands at sites that are spatially well separated from the binding region. We…
We stabilize resistance of melt-quenched amorphous Ge2Sb2Te5 (a-GST) phase change memory (PCM) line cells by substantially accelerating resistance drift and bringing it to a stop within a few minutes with application of high electric field…
Redox-based electrical conduction in nonconjugated polymers has been explored less than a decade, yet is already showing promise as a new concept for electrical energy transport. Here using monolayers and sub-monolayers of touching…
The chaperonin GroEL-GroES, a machine which helps some proteins to fold, cycles through a number of allosteric states, the $T$ state, with high affinity for substrate proteins (SPs), the ATP-bound $R$ state, and the $R^{\prime\prime}$…
Hyper-exponential retention profiles (HERPs) are often observed during laboratory tests on colloidal and nano-suspension transport in porous media. The aim of this work is an extension of the traditional model for suspended particle…

We present a trajectory-resolved framework for charge transport in graphene and related two-dimensional carbon systems beyond the ideal ballistic and fully coherent limits. Transport is described by kinetic Monte Carlo hopping on a…
We establish a detailed phenomenology of photocarrier transport in the copper oxide plane by studying the transient terahertz photoconductivity of Sr$_2$CuO$_2$Cl$_2$ and YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_6$. The peak photoconductivity saturates with…
DNA helicases are molecular motors that use the energy from ATP hydrolysis to move along DNA, promoting the unwinding or rewinding of the double helix. Here, we use magnetic and optical tweezers to track the motion of three helicases, gp41,…
We theoretically study the thermoelectric transport S in a double-layer bilayer graphene (BLG-GaAs-BLG) system on dielectric substrates (h-BN, Al2O3, HfO2). Electrons interact with GaAs acoustic phonons via both the deformation potential…

Energy transport in photosynthetic systems can be tremendously efficient. In particular we study exciton transport in the Fenna-Mathews-Olsen (FMO) complex found in green sulphur bacteria. The exciton dynamics and energy transfer efficiency…
The concept of a protein diffusing in its free energy folding landscape has been fruitful for both theory and experiment. Yet the choice of the reaction coordinate (RC) introduces an undesirable degree of arbitrariness into the problem. We…
