Activity induced synchronization: Mutual flocking and chiral self-sorting

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 ...

Avoidance of Convex and Concave Obstacles with Convergence ensured through Contraction

Aude Billard, Lukas Huber

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 ...

Quantized Hall Conductance of a Single Atomic Wire: A Proposal Based on Synthetic Dimensions

Jean-Philippe Brantut

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 ...

Two-degrees-of-freedom (PID)-D-2 controller for precise nanopositioning in the presence of hardware-induced constant time delay

Andres San Millan Rodriguez

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 on interconnected timber elements using wood-wood connections

Yves Weinand, Julien Gamerro, Jean-François Bocquet

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 ...

Harmonic Phasor Measurements in Real-World PMU-Based Acquisitions

Mario Paolone, Asja Derviskadic, Guglielmo Frigo

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 static and dynamic structural heterogeneities of B-DNA: extending Calladine-Dickerson rules

John Maddocks, Daiva Petkeviciute, Marco Pasi

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 ...

Floquet dynamics in the quantum measurement of mechanical motion

Tobias Kippenberg, Nicolas Piro Mastracchio, Liu Qiu, Itay Shomroni, Marie Adrienne Ioannou

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 ...

Getting the Right Twist: Influence of Donor-Acceptor Dihedral Angle on Exciton Kinetics and Singlet-Triplet Gap in Deep Blue Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence Emitter

Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin, Antonio Prlj, Kun-Han Lin, Nikita Drigo

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 ...
