About
Abstract: Many interactions and processes in nature operate at low energy and with critical energy balance, enabling repeated cycling and highly efficient transport. Inspired by these processes, we try to understand them, and to replicate them in synthetic systems. The energies involved are well below those of visible photon energies; thus, we predominantly use tunneling spectroscopies and imaging to probe them. If we could replicate such systems in our devices, we could save most of the energy required to run them. If we could mimic biochemical cycling, we could develop efficient recycling at
