Harnessing Fluctuations in Thermodynamic Computing via Time-Reversal Symmetries

Kavli Affiliate: Michael L. Roukes | First 5 Authors: Gregory Wimsatt, Olli-Pentti Saira, Alexander B. Boyd, Matthew H. Matheny, Siyuan Han | Summary: We experimentally demonstrate that highly structured distributions of work emerge during even the simple task of erasing a single bit. These are signatures of a refined suite of time-reversal symmetries in distinct […]

Mesophase Formation Stabilizes High-Purity Magic-Sized Clusters

Kavli Affiliate: Richard D. Robinson | First 5 Authors: Douglas R. Nevers, Curtis B. Williamson, Benjamin H. Savitzky, Ido Hadar, Uri Banin | Summary: Magic-sized clusters (MSCs) are renowned for their identical size and closed-shell stability that inhibit conventional nanoparticle (NP) growth processes. Though MSCs have been of increasing interest, understanding the reaction pathways toward […]

The structure of magnetic turbulence in the heliosheath region observed by Voyager 2 at 106 AU

Kavli Affiliate: John D. Richardson | First 5 Authors: Federico Fraternale, Nikolai V Pogorelov, John D Richardson, Daniela Tordella, | Summary: It is currently believed that the turbulent fluctuations pervade the outermost heliosphere. Turbulence, magnetic reconnection, and their link may be responsible for magnetic energy conversion in these regions. The governing mechanisms of such anisotropic […]

Magnetic turbulence spectra and intermittency in the heliosheath and in the local interstellar medium

Kavli Affiliate: John D. Richardson | First 5 Authors: Federico Fraternale, Nikolai V Pogorelov, John D Richardson, Daniela Tordella, | Summary: The understanding of inertial-scale dynamics in the heliosheath is not yet thorough. Magnetic field fluctuations across the inner heliosheath (IHS) and the local interstellar medium (LISM) are here considered to provide accurate and highly […]
