Proteins fold using a two-state or multi-state kinetic mechanisms, but up to now there isn't a first-principle model to explain this different behaviour. We exploit the network properties of protein structures by introducing novel…

We revisit the one-dimensional ferromagnetic Ising spin-chain with a finite number of spins and periodic boundaries and derive analytically and verify numerically its various stationary and dynamical properties at different temperatures. In…

Temperature evolution of dielectric response, atomic structure, and lattice dynamics in thin film of sodium niobate in the epitaxial NaNbO$_3$/SrRuO$_3$/(001)MgO heterostructure is studied by dielectric measurements, x-ray diffraction, and…

Membrane phase behavior induced by the binding of curvature-inducing proteins is studied by a combination of analytical and numerical approaches. In thermal equilibrium under the detailed balance between binding and unbinding, the membrane…

FeRh has a phase transition from an antiferromagnetic state (low temperature) to a ferromagnetic state (high temperature) at 360 K. Various explanations for this behavior have been proposed over the past 20 years. However, many of the…

Heat dissipation is ubiquitous in living systems, which constantly convert distinct forms of energy into each other. The transport of thermal energy in liquids and even within proteins is well understood but kinetic energy transfer across a…

We present a simple model of protein folding dynamics that captures key qualitative elements recently seen in all-atom simulations. The goals of this theory are to serve as a simple formalism for gaining deeper insight into the physical…

Optical excitation perturbs the balance of phenomena selecting the tilt orientation of domain walls within ferroelectric thin films. The high carrier density induced in a low-strain BaTiO3 thin film by an above-bandgap ultrafast optical…

We recently introduced a physical model [Hoang et al., P. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA (2004), Banavar et al., Phys. Rev. E (2004)] for proteins which incorporates, in an approximate manner, several key features such as the inherent anisotropy of a…

Recent advances in coarse-grained lattice and off-lattice protein models are reviewed. The sequence dependence of thermodynamical folding properties are investigated and evidence for non-randomness of the binary sequences of good folders…

We study the kinetics of protein folding via statistical energy landscape theory. We concentrate on the local-connectivity case, where the configurational changes can only occur among neighboring states, with the folding progress described…

Self Consistent Normal Mode Analysis (SCNMA) is applied to heme c type cytochrome f to study temperature dependent protein motion. Classical Normal Mode Analysis (NMA) assumes harmonic behavior and the protein Mean Square Displacement (MSD)…

A simple model of globular proteins which incorporates anisotropic attractions is proposed. It is closely related to models used to model simple hydrogen-bonding molecules such as water. Theories for both the fluid and solid phases are…

The thermal hysteresis of the electronic transport properties were studied for V2O3 thin films. The temporal evolution of the resistance shows the out-of-equilibrium nature of this hysteresis with a very slow relaxation. Partial cycles…

Atomic many-body phase transitions and quantum criticality have recently attracted much attention in non-standard optical lattices. Here we perform an experimental study of finite-temperature superfluid transition of bosonic atoms confined…

Normal mode analysis is a widely used technique for reconstructing conformational changes of proteins from the knowledge of native structures. In this Letter, we investigate to what extent normal modes capture the salient features of the…

We present results from Molecular Dynamics simulations of the thermal glass transition in a dense polymer melt. In previous work we compared the simulation data with the idealized version of mode coupling theory (MCT) and found that the…

The expression for the higher temperature dependence of the mean squared displacement in proteins is obtained. The quantum multi-well model explains the dynamic transitions of the proteins and minimizes the amount of parameters to a single…

We use shear-mode Raman imaging to track ferroelectric switching in multilayer 3$R$-MoS$_2$. Within a single flake, mechanically segmented regions respond independently and follow distinct pathways. Partially polarized end states indicate…

A set of interacting vortices in $2D$ in the presence of a substrate with square symmetry and at filling ratio $1$ can display a low temperature solid phase where only one of the reciprocal lattice vectors of the substrate is…
