Activity induced synchronization: Mutual flocking and chiral self-sorting

Self-sorting chiral subcomponent rearrangement during crystallization.

The incorporation of enantiopure 1-amino-2,3-propanediol as a subcomponent into a dicopper double helicate resulted in perfect chiral induction of the helicate's twist. DFT calculations allowed the determination of the helicity of the complex in solution. The same helical induction, in which S amines induced a Lambda helical twist, was observed in the solid state by X-ray crystallography. Elect...

Quantum correlations and mutual synchronization

We consider the phenomenon of mutual synchronization in a fundamental quantum system of two detuned quantum harmonic oscillators dissipating into the environment. We identify the conditions leading to this spontaneous phenomenon, showing that the ability of the system to synchronize is related to the existence of disparate decay rates and is accompanied by robust quantum discord and mutual info...

Mechanochemical Encapsulation of Fullerenes in Peptidic Containers Prepared by Dynamic Chiral Self-Sorting and Self-Assembly.

Molecular capsules composed of amino acid or peptide derivatives connected to resorcin[4]arene scaffolds through acylhydrazone linkers have been synthesized using dynamic covalent chemistry (DCC) and hydrogen-bond-based self-assembly. The dynamic character of the linkers and the preference of the peptides towards self-assembly into β-barrel-type motifs lead to the spontaneous amplification of f...

Self-synchronization and controlled synchronization

An attempt is made to give a general formalism for synchronization in dynamical systems encompassing most. of the known definitions and applications. The proposed set-up describes synchronization of interconnected systems with respect to a set of functionals and captures peculiarities of both self-synchronization and controlled synchronization. Various illustrative examples are given.
