Proximity Effect between Two Superconductors Spatially Resolved by Scanning Tunneling Spectroscopy [PDF]
We present a combined experimental and theoretical study of the proximity effect in an atomic-scale controlled junction between two different superconductors.

Relationship between spatial proximity and travel-to-work distance : the effect of the compact city [PDF]
In this paper, an assessment is made of the relationship between selected aspects of spatial proximity (density, diversity, minimum commuting distance, jobs-housing balance and job accessibility) and reported commuting distances in Flanders (Belgium ...

This article explores the relationship between critical distance and the idea of proximity. In times that are often described as ‘global’, ‘24/7’, ‘connected’, ‘networked’ and ‘immersive’, distance seems ever reduced and proximity omnipresent.

Proximity Effects and Nonequilibrium Superconductivity in Transition-Edge Sensors [PDF]
We have recently shown that normal-metal/superconductor (N/S) bilayer TESs (superconducting Transition-Edge Sensors) exhibit weak-link behavior.1 Here we extend our understanding to include TESs with added noise-mitigating normal-metal structures (N ...

Superconducting decay length in a ferromagnetic metal [PDF]
The complex decay length xi characterizing penetration of superconducting correlations into a ferromagnet due to the proximity effect is studied theoretically in the frame of the linearized Eilenberger equations.

Planar SFS Josephson Junctions Made by Focused Ion Beam Etching [PDF]
Superconductor-Ferromagnet-Superconductor (S-F-S) Josephson junctions were fabricated by making a narrow cut through a S-F double layer using direct writing by Focused Ion Beam (FIB).

From the Opium of the People to Acid Communism: On the dialectics of critique and intoxication
There seems to be an inherent tension between intoxication and critique. We tend to associate intoxication with immersion, participation, and proximity, while critique is usually connected to the distance, separation, and an outsider-perspective. In this

Connected Spatial Networks over Random Points and a Route-Length Statistic [PDF]
We review mathematically tractable models for connected networks on random points in the plane, emphasizing the class of proximity graphs which deserves to be better known to applied probabilists and statisticians.

Hippocampus and retrosplenial cortex combine path integration signals for successful navigation [PDF]
The current study used fMRI in humans to examine goal-directed navigation in an open field environment. We designed a task that required participants to encode survey-level spatial information and subsequently navigate to a goal location in either first ...
