Optical vortex braiding with Bessel beams
Optics Letters, 2020 We propose the braiding of optical vortices in a laser beam with more than 2 π rotation by superposing Bessel modes with a plane wave. We experimentally demonstrate this by using a Bessel–Gaussian beam and a coaxial Gaussian, and we present measurements of three complete braids. The amount of braiding is fundamentally limited only

Multimodal Data‐Driven Microstructure Characterization
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.A self‐consistent autonomous workflow for EBSP‐based microstructure segmentation by integrating PCA, GMM clustering, and cNMF with information‐theoretic parameter selection, requiring no user input. An optimal ROI size related to characteristic grain size is identified.

Vortex-lattice melting in a one-dimensional optical lattice
, 2006 We investigate quantum fluctuations of a vortex lattice in a one-dimensional optical lattice. Our method gives full access to all the modes of the vortex lattice and we discuss in particular the Bloch bands of the Tkachenko modes.

Laser‐Induced Graphene from Waste Almond Shells
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Almond shells, an abundant agricultural by‐product, are repurposed to create a fully bioderived almond shell/chitosan composite (ASC) degradable in soil. ASC is converted into laser‐induced graphene (LIG) by laser scribing and proposed as a substrate for transient electronics.

Acoustic superradiance from an optical-superradiance-induced vortex in a Bose-Einstein condensate
, 2014 We consider the simultaneous scattering of an angular momentum carrying Laguerre-Gaussian light beam and an acoustic wave from an atomic Bose-Einstein condensate, under condition of optical superradiance induced vortex state.

Isolated optical vortex knots [PDF]
Nature Physics, 2010 Guided by a general framework for wavefront engineering, experiments demonstrate that in a light field, lines of zero intensity can be shaped into knotted and linked loops of arbitrary topology. Natural and artificially created light fields in three-dimensional space contain lines of zero intensity, known as optical vortices1,2,3.

Substrate Stress Relaxation Regulates Cell‐Mediated Assembly of Extracellular Matrix
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Silicone‐based viscoelastic substrates with tunable stress relaxation reveal how matrix mechanics regulates cellular mechanosensing and cell‐mediated matrix remodelling in the stiff regime. High stress relaxation promotes assembly of fibronectin fibril‐like structures, increased nuclear localization of YAP and formation of β1 integrin‐enriched ...

Giant Colloidal Diffusivity on Corrugated Optical Vortices
, 2006 A single colloidal sphere circulating around a periodically modulated optical vortex trap can enter a dynamical state in which it intermittently alternates between freely running around the ring-like optical vortex and becoming trapped in local potential
