	Cyclic Brownian Information Engine Under Error-free Measurements by Govind Paneru, Hyuk Kyu Pak

We summarize our recent experimental findings on a cyclic information engine [1, 2], consisting of a Brownian particle in a harmonic trap, with error-free measurements and ultrafast feedback control. The engine can transport the particle in one direction and extract positive work from it by utilizing information about the microscopic state of the particle. ... More to Read

	Wavefunctions for Extended Electron Systems by Peter Fulde

Wavefunctions for large interacting electron systems lose their meaning due to an exponential growth of the dimensions of Hilbert space with increasing electron number. In order to base electronic-structure calculations for solids on wavefunctions instead on density functional theory one has to resolve this exponential wall problem (EWP). It is shown that the origin of it is the multiplicative... More to Read

	Superheavy Elements: Beyond the 7th Period in the Periodic Table by Kouichi Hagino
	What is the heaviest element? In order to address this question, the elements up to Z = 118 have been synthesized to date by heavy-ion fusion reactions. This has completed the 7th period in the periodic table of elements, and new attempts have been commenced aimed at syntheses of the elements in the 8th period. n this article, we review the current status and future challenges in the research ...
