Full-orbit studies of wave-particle interaction on the Mega Ampere Spherical Tokamak [PDF]
, 2021 Energetic particles with super-Alfv\'enic speeds could potentially drive Alfv\'enic instabilities in a magnetically confined plasma. The driven waves can influence the fast particle distribution function as energetic particles are redistributed or lost ...

Burst firing is a neural code in an insect auditory system [PDF]
, 2008 Various classes of neurons alternate between high-frequency discharges and silent intervals. This phenomenon is called burst firing. To analyze burst activity in an insect system, grasshopper auditory receptor neurons were recorded in vivo for several ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A mechanically programmable hydrogel for tissue engineering is developed by modulating the molecular threading density of poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate‐β‐cyclodextrin (PEGDA‐β‐CD) polyrotaxane and combining it with β‐CD‐modified gelatin. The polyrotaxane‐guided transition from disordered pores to laminar microstructures enables precise tuning ...
