Chirality induces giant charge rectification in a superconductor

Researchers discovered that chirality induces giant charge rectification in an organic superconductor, exceeding theoretical predictions. The nonreciprocal transport was found to be driven by enhanced spin-orbit coupling and mixing of spin-triplet Cooper pairs.

Scientists solve chemical mystery at the interface of biology and technology

Researchers at the University of Washington have solved a long-standing chemical mystery in organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs), which allow current to flow in devices like implantable biosensors. The study reveals that OECTs turn on via a two-step process, causing a lag, and off through a simpler one-step process.

Nobel Prize winner's unfinished symphony

Researchers discovered Robert Burns Woodward's notes on organic superconductors, including original scans of his work, and successfully redrawn compounds using modern techniques. The study sheds light on Woodward's ideas for developing an organic superconductor that operates at room temperature.
