In the modern world, making informed decisions requires obtaining and aggregating relevant information about events of interest. For many political, business, and entertainment events, the information of interest only ...

When energy relaxation between electrons and the lattice is slow, an elevated electronic temperature different from that of the lattice persists. In this regime, hot charge carriers control the energy transport in a material. ...

Forces are increasingly recognized as major regulators of cell physiology and function, and the mechanical properties of cells are essential to the mechanisms by which cells sense forces, transmit them to the cell interior ...

Flying insects display remarkable maneuverability. Unlike typical airplanes, these insects are able to execute an evasive action, rapidly change their flight speed and direction, or leisurely land on flowers buffeted by ...

Plasmonic waves in solid-state are caused by collective oscillation of mobile charges inside or at the surface of conductors. In particular, surface plasmonic waves propagating at the skin of metals have recently attracted ...

Despite decades of effort in academia and industry, it is not yet possible to build machines that can replicate many seemingly-basic human perceptual abilities. This work focuses on the problem of face identification that ...

Magnetic microparticles are often used in laboratory settings for the separation of biological material. These microparticles can also be useful in microfluidic settings because of their small size and the possibility of ...

The creation of integrated microphotonic devices requires a challenging assembly of optically and electrically disparate materials into complex geometries with nanometer-scale precision. These challenges are typically ...

Understanding the neural processes underlying motor learning in humans is important to facilitate the acquisition of new motor skills and to aid the relearning of skills lost after neurologic injury. Although it is known ...

This work illustrates a method to investigate certain smooth, codimension-two, real submanifolds of spheres of arbitrary odd dimension (with complements that fiber over the circle) using a novel supersymmetric quantum ...
