We report a measurement of exclusive J/ψ and ψ(2s) photoproduction in Au+Au ultraperipheral collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=200  GeV using the STAR detector. For the first time, (i) the ψ(2s) photoproduction in midrapidity at the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider has been experimentally measured; (ii) nuclear suppression factors are measured for both the coherent and incoherent J/ψ production. At average photon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of 25.

Recent advancements in materials science have shed light on the potential of exploring hierarchical assemblies of molecules on surfaces, driven by both fundamental and applicative challenges. This field encompasses diverse areas including molecular storage, drug delivery, catalysis, and nanoscale chemical reactions. In this context, the utilization of nanotube templates (NTs) has emerged as promising platforms for achieving advanced one-dimensional (1D) molecular assemblies.

Perovskite nanocrystals have attracted much attention in the last ten years due to their different applications, especially in the photovoltaic domain and LED performance. In this large family of perovskite nanocrystals, CsPbBr nanocrystals are attractive nanomaterials because they are good candidates for obtaining green emissions and exploring new synthesis routes. In this context, controlling the nanometric scale's morphology, particularly the size and monodispersity, is fundamental for exploring their photophysical properties and final applications.

We report on speeding-up equilibrium recovery in the previously unexplored general case of the underdamped regime using an optically levitated particle. We accelerate the convergence toward equilibrium by an order of magnitude compared to the natural relaxation time. We then discuss the efficiency of the studied protocols, especially for a multidimensional system.
