Multi-modal homing in sea turtles: modeling dual use of geomagnetic and chemical cues in island-finding

open access: yesFrontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2016
Sea turtles are capable of navigating across large expanses of ocean to arrive at remote islands for nesting, but how they do so has remained enigmatic. An interesting example involves green turtles (Chelonia mydas) that nest on Ascension Island, a tiny

On the role of system size in Hall MHD magnetic reconnection

open access: yes, 2017
We study the effects of the Hall electric field on magnetic island coalescence in the large island limit and find evidence for both a elongated electron current sheet layer with a Sweet-Parker-like reconnection rate and a collapsed, Petschek-like ...

Theory and observations of magnetic islands [PDF]

open access: yesNuclear Fusion, 2009
Magnetic islands are a ubiquitous feature of magnetically confined plasmas. They arise as the result of plasma instabilities as well as externally imposed symmetry-breaking perturbations. In the core, effective suppression techniques have been developed.

Multiphoton‐Printed Microrobotic Arrays Powered by Discrete, Monolithically Integrated Hydrogel Actuators

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Functional surfaces are investigated as a foundation for reconfigurable microscale systems with sensing and actuation capabilities. Advances in additive manufacturing enable our development of planar arrays of hybrid‐material, compliant microdevices that convert environmental stimuli into programmed motion and visual responses.

Bifurcation from L-mode to internal transport barrier triggered by a magnetic island in tokamak plasmas

open access: yesNuclear Fusion
Magnetic islands are believed to be responsible for triggering the internal transport barrier (ITB) around the rational surface and hence improves confinement in magnetic confinement fusion plasma, for more than two decades.

Core plasma confinement during detachment transition with RMP application in LHD

open access: yesNuclear Materials and Energy, 2018
The core plasma confinement during detachment phase is investigated in the discharges with application of resonant magnetic perturbation (RMP) field in LHD. The RMP application creates a remnant magnetic island in the edge stochastic layer, which largely

Characterizing Electrons in Primary and Secondary Magnetic Islands During Magnetic Reconnection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The physics underlying particle-in-cell simulations that are widely employed in studying plasma dynamics are reviewed. Results from a two-dimensional particle-in-cell simulation of fully kinetic, undriven, collisionless magnetic reconnection are studied ...
