In this minireview, we intend to shed light on relatively recent examples related to the size and shape effects on materials at the nanoscale and their usage to test a set of quantum mechanics governed phenomena.

Superradiance-induced multistability in one-dimensional driven Rydberg lattice gases (2022)
Journal Article

We study steady-state phases of a one-dimensional array of Rydberg atoms coupled by a microwave (MW) field where the higher-energy Rydberg state decays to the lower-energy one via single-body and collective (superradiant) decay. Using mean-field appr... Read More about Superradiance-induced multistability in one-dimensional driven Rydberg lattice gases.

We present the Sherwood-Relics simulations, a new suite of large cosmological hydrodynamical simulations aimed at modelling the intergalactic medium (IGM) during and after the cosmic reionization of hydrogen. The suite consists of over 200 simulation... Read More about The Sherwood-Relics simulations: overview and impact of patchy reionization and pressure smoothing on the intergalactic medium.

Establishing a Core Domain Set for early-phase clinical trials of electrical stimulation interventions for tinnitus in adults: protocol for an online Delphi study (2022)
Journal Article
Labree, B., Hoare, D. J., Fackrell, K., Hall, D. A., Gascoyne, L. E., & Sereda, M. (2022). Establishing a Core Domain Set for early-phase clinical trials of electrical stimulation interventions for tinnitus in adults: protocol for an online Delphi study. Trials, 23(1), Article 1039. https://doi.org/10.1186/s13063-022-07020-2

Background: Tinnitus is the awareness of a sound in the ear or head in the absence of an external source. It affects around 10–15% of people and current treatment options are limited. Experimental treatments include various forms of electrical stimul...

Enhanced ionizing radiation in close proximity to redshift z ≳ 6 quasars creates short windows of intergalactic Ly α transmission blueward of the quasar Ly α emission lines. The majority of these Ly α near-zones are consistent with quasars that have...

Post-task responses (PTRs) are transitionary responses occurring for several seconds between the end of a stimulus/task and a period of rest. The most well-studied of these are beta band (13 – 30 Hz) PTRs in motor networks following movement, often c...
