The quick and reliable detection and identification of a tastant in the mouth regulate nutrient uptake and toxin expulsion. Consistent with the pivotal role of the gustatory system, taste category information (e.g. [...]

The semimetal MoTe2 is studied by spin- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy across the centrosymmetry-breaking structural transition temperature of the bulk. A three-dimensional spin-texture is observed in the bulk Fermi surface in the low temperature, noncentrosymmetric phase that is consistent with first-principles calculations. [...]

In scanning tunneling microscopy, we witness in recent years a paradigm shift from “just imaging” to detailed spectroscopic measurements at the nanoscale and multi-tip scanning tunneling microscope (STM) is a technique following this trend. It is capable of performing nanoscale charge transport measurements like a “multimeter at the nanoscale.” Distance-dependent four-point measurements, the acquisition of nanoscale potential maps at current carrying nanostructures and surfaces, as well as the acquisition of I − V curves of nanoelectronic devices are examples of the capabilities of the multi-tip STM technique.

This paper introduces an approach based on transition potentials for inelastic scattering to understand the underlying physics of electron magnetic circular dichroism (EMCD). The transition potentials are sufficiently localized to permit atomic-scale EMCD. [...]

The High Performance Analytics and Computing (HPAC) Platform provides the supercomputing, data and visualization infrastructure to the HBP community. It makes supercomputers and storage at five leading European supercomputing centers available to the community and supports scientists in using them efficiently for their research. [...]
