Things that Talk: On a new perspective for engaging with scientific instruments
Jérôme Baudry, Ion-Gabriel Mihailescu
Our contribution will propose a new approach for engaging with scientific instruments inspired by a recent exhibition which we have designed and organized. Inverting the current trope of presenting history through many objects, the exhibition weaved togeth ...
2023Why is the winner the best?
Jian Wang, Gabriel Girard, Ho Ling Li, Adrien Raphaël Depeursinge, Yong Yang, Fan Xia, Xiao Wang, Jing Li, Hui Wang
International benchmarking competitions have become fundamental for the comparative performance assessment of image analysis methods. However, little attention has been given to investigating what can be learnt from these competitions. Do they really gener ...
Los Alamitos2023In situ monitoring of femtosecond laser-induced modifications in dielectrics
Over the last decades, the progress made in the generation of laser pulses shorter than a picosecond (10^-12 s) has allowed us to reach extreme optical power intensities exceeding 10^15 W cm^-2. This tremendous power has triggered an abundance of original ...
EPFL2023Nature-Inspired Stalactite Nanopores for Biosensing and Energy Harvesting
Aleksandra Radenovic, Mukeshchand Thakur, Andrey Chernev, Vasily Artemov, Lucie Navratilova, Nianduo Cai, Yunfei Teng, Tzu-Heng Chen
Nature provides a wide range of self-assembled structures from the nanoscale to the macroscale. Under the right thermodynamic conditions and with the appropriate material supply, structures like stalactites, icicles, and corals can grow. However, the natur ...
WILEY-V C H VERLAG GMBH2023Monolithic Perovskite-Silicon Tandem Solar Cells: From the Lab to Fab?
Christophe Ballif, Quentin Thomas Jeangros, Antonin Faes, Fan Fu, Chien-Jen Yang
This review focuses on monolithic 2-terminal perovskite-silicon tandem solar cells and discusses key scientific and technological challenges to address in view of an industrial implementation of this technology. The authors start by examining the different ...
WILEY-V C H VERLAG GMBH2022Does It Pay to Do Novel Science? The Selectivity Patterns in Science Funding
Fabiana Visentin, Charles Chadi Ayoubi, Michele Pezzoni
Public funding agencies aim to fund novel breakthrough research to promote the radical scientific discoveries of tomorrow. Identifying the profiles of scientists being financed to pursue their research is therefore crucial. This paper shows that the fundin ...
OXFORD UNIV PRESS2021A Trojan Horse across the Channel: On the circulation of Vincenzio Viviani’s divinatio through his correspondence with Robert Southwell
Simon François Dumas Primbault
Self-proclaimed Galileo’s last disciple, Vincenzio Viviani (1622-1703) strove all his life to become a renowned mathematician. Extolling the supposed purity of Euclid’s geometry, he sought to recover the lost knowledge of the Ancients, and fashioned himsel ...
2021The nature of X(3872) from high-multiplicity pp collisions
The structure of exotic resonances that do not trivially fit the usual quark model expectations has been a matter of intense scientific debate during the last two decades. A possible way of estimating the size of these states is to study their behavior whe ...
SPRINGER2021QUAREP-LiMi: A community-driven initiative to establish guidelines for quality assessment and reproducibility for instruments and images in light microscopy
Arne Seitz, Andrea Bassi, Antje Keppler
A modern day light microscope has evolved from a tool devoted to making primarily empirical observations to what is now a sophisticated , quantitative device that is an integral part of both physical and life science research. Nowadays, microscopes are fou ...
WILEY2021Analytical and Machine Learning Methods for the Complete Safe Coordination of Astrobot Swarms
The recent generations of massive spectroscopic surveys aim at the ray collection from a multitude of cosmological targets in the course of observations. For this purpose, astrobots are used to change the configuration of optical fibers from one observatio ...
