Eigenmodes are central to the study of resonant phenomena in all areas of physics.
However, their use in nano-optics seems to have been hindered and delayed for various
reasons. First, due to their small size, the response of nanostructures to a far-field
...
Natural soil is characterized as a complex habitat with patchy hydrated islands and spatially variable nutrients that is in a constant state of change due to wetting-drying dynamics. Soil microbial activity is often concentrated in sparsely distributed hot ...
Asymmetric metal-catalyzed C-H functionalization is a powerful strategy for the rapid generation of complex target molecules from simple precursors. While aryl (pseudo) halides have been used as electrophilic substrates in enantioselective Pd(0)-catalyzed ...
Solar technologies hold the potential to ultimately counteract the effects of climate change. Nevertheless, the intermittency of sunlight poses technical challenges regarding the storage of the surplus production and the supply of the deficit.
The generat ...
This paper demonstrates the use of new processor instructions VPMADD, intended to appear in the coming generation of Intel processors (codename "Cannon Lake"), in order to accelerate the newly proposed key encapsulation mechanism (KEM) named SIKE. SIKE is ...
Impregnation time in Resin Transfer Molding (RTM) is directly proportional to resin viscosity and inversely proportional to fabric permeability, limiting the use of high-viscosity resins with conventional reinforcements. In this study, we show how to reduc ...
Understanding the link between the brain's anatomy and its function through computer
simulations of neural tissue models is a widely used approach in computational neuroscience.
This technique enables rapid prototyping and testing of hypotheses, allowing r ...
The expulsion of runaway electrons (REs) during different types of tokamak instabilities is analysed by means of a Cherenkov probe inserted into the scrape-off layer of the FTU tokamak. One such type of instability, the well-known tearing mode, is involved ...
Photorelease of caged compounds is among the most powerful experimental approaches for studying cellular functions on fast timescales. However, its full potential has yet to be exploited, as the number of caged small molecules available for cell biological ...
Spinal cord injury (SCI) impairs the flow of sensory and motor signals between the brain and the areas of the body located below the lesion level. Here, we describe a neurorehabilitation setup combining several approaches that were shown to have a positive ...
