Single-file transport means no overtaking: particles move in a narrow channel while preserving their longitudinal order. This simple constraint has profound dynamical consequences, most notably tracer subdiffusion, and has made single-file transport a paradigmatic form of confined many-body motion, observed from molec…

Abstract Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) is a promising catalyst for highly selective oxidative dehydrogenation of propane (ODHP). Defect engineering exposes unsaturated boron (B) sites, which form oxy/hydroxylated B-based active ensembles (i.e., B(OH)xO3–x) that are crucial for ODHP. The reaction proceeds via both sur…
