Tensor Monopoles in superconducting systems

Topology in general but also topological objects such as monopoles are a central concept in physics. They are prime examples for the intriguing physics of gauge theories and topological states of matter. Vector monopoles are already frequently discussed such as the well-established Dirac monopole in three dimensions. Less known are tensor monopoles giving rise to tensor gauge fields. Here we report that tensor monopoles can potentially be realized in superconducting multi-terminal systems using…

Interactions between RNA viruses and human RNA-binding proteins

Viruses are intracellular parasites that need their host cell to reproduce. Consequently, they have evolved numerous mechanisms to exploit the molecular machinery of their host cells, including the broad spectrum of host RNA-binding proteins (RBPs). To shed light on the interaction landscape of RNA viruses with human host cell RBPs at a large scale, the Gruber lab and collaborators have analysed single-stranded RNA (ssRNA) viral genome sequences, including SARS‑CoV‑2...
