Theories of Chiral-Induced Spin Selectivity: A Pedagogical Overview
The chiral-induced spin selectivity (CISS) effect refers to electron transport through chiral (often organic) molecules becoming spin-polarized, without external magnetic fields. While widely observed experimentally, a comprehensive theo...

Structure and Dynamics of Microhydrated Complexes Revealed with Rotational Spectroscopy
Water's ability to form hydrogen bond networks underlies its unique properties. Microhydration, which is the binding of a few water molecules to solutes, can significantly alter both the hydrogen bond network compared to pure water and t...
