Azobenzene derivatives are the molecules of choice for both fundamental and applied research on photoswitchable (supra)molecular self-assemblies and materials with reversible photocontrol over their macroscopic properties.

Phonons are less common in the scientific discourse compared to electrons and photons. Yet, they offer the potential for low energy information transport, suitable for advanced interconnects, which will be addressed here.

The process in which locally confined epithelial malignancies progressively evolve to become invasive cancer cells is associated with the acquisition of cell motility, fostered by a mechanical shift from a solid-like to a liquid-like state, known as unjamming.

Cognitive control guides behavior by controlling what, where, and how information is represented in the brain.

Fundamental Science could play a key role in spurring Disruptive Innovation, shaping future possibilities in a responsible and sustainable way.

Over the years, there have been growing interests and efforts in harnessing disorder for photonic device applications, not only to improve the performance of existing devices, but also to enable novel schemes and unique functionalities.

Molecular photomedicine holds the promise for precise treatments, which avoid systemic adverse effects and development of drug resistance.

The most brilliant colours in nature are obtained by structuring transparent materials on the scale of the wavelength of visible light.

New advances and opportunities within nonlinear interactions

What underlies the ability to deal with numbers and where did it come from?

Huntington's disease (HD) is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by a CAG repeat expansion in the gene encoding for huntingtin protein.
