Direct experimental test of critical-wave length measurement in biology: tuned reaction–diffusion metrology in the E. coli Min system and eukaryotic mitotic structures
Critical properties of the antiferromagnetic quantum phase transition of the Gossamer superconductor
Do spin-liquid fractionalization, fractional statistics, and emergent gauge forces occur in real more-than-one-dimensional Mott materials — and can they drive high-temperature superconductivity?
