Nonequilibrium steady state full counting statistics in the noncrossing approximation.

Quantum transport is often characterized not just by mean observables like the particle or energy current but by their fluctuations and higher moments, which can act as detailed probes of the physical mechanisms at play. However, relatively few theoretical methods are able to access the full counting statistics (FCS) of transport processes through electronic junctions in strongly correlated regimes. While most experiments are concerned with steady state properties, most accurate theoretical methods rely on computationally expensive propagation from a tractable initial state.

Order from Disorder with Intrinsically Disordered Peptide Amphiphiles.

Amphiphilic molecules and their self-assembled structures have long been the target of extensive research due to their potential applications in fields ranging from materials design to biomedical and cosmetic applications. Increasing demands for functional complexity have been met with challenges in biochemical engineering, driving researchers to innovate in the design of new amphiphiles. An emerging class of molecules, namely, peptide amphiphiles, combines key advantages and circumvents some of the disadvantages of conventional phospholipids and block copolymers.
