Researchers have developed a new optical computing material from photon avalanching nanoparticles. A research team co-led by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab), Columbia University, ...

Nonlinear optics is the study of how intense light interacts with matter. The optical response of a material usually scales linearly with the amplitude of the electric field. At high powers ...

A research team has taken inspiration from principles found in nature and developed the "hyperelastic torque reversal mechanism" (HeTRM), which enables robots made from rubber-like soft materials to ...

Experiments are conducted to measure the gripper's potential energy variation and grasping performance. One peak and two local minima in the energy curve indicate the gripper's bistability.

The clinical handling of chronic virus infections remains a challenge. Here we describe recent progress in the understanding of virus - host interaction dynamics. Based on the systems biology concept ...

The rat pheochromocytoma cells PC12 are a long established in vitro model to study neuronal differentiation, proliferation and survival (Greene and Tischler, 1976; Burstein et al., 1982; Cowley et al.
