Synchronization, the temporal coordination of coupled oscillators, allows fireflies to flash in unison, neurons to fire collectively, and human crowds to fall in step on the London millenium bridge. Here, we interpret active (or self-propelled) chiral micr ...
This paper presents a closed-form approach to obstacle avoidance for multiple moving convex and star-shaped concave obstacles. The method takes inspiration in harmonic-potential fields. It inherits the convergence properties of harmonic potentials. We prov ...
We propose a method by which the quantization of the Hall conductance can be directly measured in the transport of a one-dimensional atomic gas. Our approach builds on two main ingredients: (1) a constriction optical potential, which generates a mesoscopic ...

Modern distribution networks prove to be easily prone to power quality issues, and in particular to the presence of harmonic. components in the voltage and current signals, due to the increasing presence of nonlinear loads, distributed generation, and rene ...

The fast and accurate tracking of periodic and arbitrary reference trajectories is the principal goal in many nanopositioning applications. Flexure-based piezoelectric stack driven nanopositioners are widely employed in applications where accurate mechanic ...
Vibration tests were performed on 3 large-scale timber slabs using wood-wood connections with a span of 8.1 meters. 10 impulsive vibration tests per specimen were performed to estimate the initial natural frequency. Vibrations were triggered using a hammer ...

Here, a novel deep blue emitter SBABz4 for use in organic light-emitting diodes (OLED) is investigated. The molecular design of the emitter enables thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF), which we examine by temperature-dependent time-resolved ele ...
Horological oscillator comprising: - a first inertial body (141; 151; 1305; 1405; 1505; 301; 311; 314; 41; 51; 507; 529; 544; 541; 901; 903) arranged to rotate with respect to a first axis; - a second inertial body (143; 153; 1306; 1406; 1506; 302; 313; 31 ...

We present a multi-laboratory effort to describe the structural and dynamical properties of duplex B-DNA under physiological conditions. By processing a large amount of atomistic molecular dynamics simulations, we determine the sequence-dependent structura ...

The radiation-pressure interaction between one or more laser fields and a mechanical oscillator gives rise to a wide range of phenomena: From sideband cooling and backaction-evading measurements to ponderomotive and mechanical squeezing to entanglement and ...
