Published: January 2004

The scientific career of James Franck (26 August 1882-21 May 1964) spanned seven decades in which he was preoccupied with understanding the interaction of light with matter, starting with atoms and moving to the photosynthetic apparatus in green plants.

Cannabidiol (CBD), a specialized metabolite (phytocannabinoid) abundant in Cannabis sativa, is attracting increasing attention for its alleged health-promoting properties. The present study aimed to investigate the pharmacokinetics of CBD and its primary metabolite, 7-hydroxy-cannabidiol (7-OH-CBD), following a single oral dose of a CBD-rich Cannabis sativa extract, equivalent to 70 mg CBD, in healthy male (n=5) and female (n=6) participants. Using a randomized crossover design, the study evaluated the impact of a standardized high-fat meal compared to fasting on the oral bioavailability of CBD.

Generalizing multiple memories from a single drive: The hysteron latch.

Sci Adv

January 2025

Department of Physics, Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA, USA.

Far-from-equilibrium systems can form memories of previous deformations or driving. In systems from sheared glassy materials to buckling beams to crumpled sheets, this behavior is dominated by return-point memory, in which revisiting a past extremum of driving restores the system to a previous state. Cyclic driving with both positive and negative strains forms multiple nested memories, as in a single-dial combination lock, while asymmetric driving (only positive strain) cannot.

A Molecular Perspective of Exciton Condensation from Particle-Hole Reduced Density Matrices.

J Phys Chem Lett

January 2025

Department of Chemistry and The James Franck Institute, The University of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois 60637, United States.

Exciton condensation, the Bose-Einstein-like condensation of quasibosonic particle-hole pairs, has been the subject of much theoretical and experimental interest and holds promise for ultraenergy-efficient technologies. Recent advances in bilayer systems, such as transition metal dichalcogenide heterostructures, have brought us closer to the experimental realization of exciton condensation without the need for high magnetic fields. In this perspective, we explore progress toward understanding and realizing exciton condensation, with a particular focus on the characteristic theoretical signature of exciton condensation: an eigenvalue greater than one in the particle-hole reduced density matrix, which signifies off-diagonal long-range order.

Water is a critical component in polyelectrolyte anion exchange membranes (AEMs). It plays a central role in ion transport in electrochemical systems. Gaining a better understanding of molecular transport and conductivity in AEMs has been challenged by the lack of a general methodology capable of capturing and connecting water dynamics, water structure, and ionic transport over time and length scales ranging from those associated with individual bond vibrations and molecular reorientations to those pertaining to macroscopic AEM performance.

Exploring Lysine Incorporation as a Strategy to Mitigate Postsynthetic Halide Exchange in Lead-Halide Hybrid Perovskites.

ACS Appl Mater Interfaces

January 2025

Department of Materials Science and Engineering and the Russell Berrie Nanotechnology Institute, Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa 3200003, Israel.

Lead-halide hybrid perovskites (RNHPbX, X = halide, e.g., Cl, Br, I; R = organic moiety) show promise for next-generation optoelectronic devices due to their simple synthesis routes, strong light absorption, and high photoluminescence quantum yield.
