Physics-assisted Generative Adversarial Network for X-Ray Tomography

June 10, 2022
Author(s)
Zhen Guo, Jungki Song, George Barbastathis, Michael Glinsky, Courtenay Vaughan, Kurt Larson, Bradley Alpert, Zachary H. Levine
X-ray tomography is capable of imaging the interior of objects in three dimensions non-invasively, with applications in biomedical imaging, materials study, electronic inspection, and other fields. The reconstruction process can be an ill-conditioned

Evidence that gecko setae are coated with an ordered nanometer-thin lipid film

June 9, 2022
Author(s)
Cherno Jaye, Daniel A. Fischer, Mette Rasmussen, Katinka Holler, Joe Baio, Stanislav Gorb, Tobias Weidner
Motivated by the fascination of gecko adhesion based on the fibrous setae at the tips of their toe pads and their potential for biomimetic applications, the adhesion mechanism has been studied in detail. While the mechanism has been shown to be based on

Photonic crystal resonators for inverse-designed multi-dimensional optical interconnects

Zvir, R.G.H. Robertson, D. Sinclair, J.F. Wilkerson
The Baksan Experiment on Sterile Transitions (BEST) probes the gallium anomaly and its possible connections to oscillations between active and sterile neutrinos. Based on the Gallium- Germanium Neutrino Telescope (GGNT) technology of the SAGE experiment

Revising quantum optical phenomena in adatoms coupled to graphene nanoantennas

June 8, 2022
Author(s)
Garnett W. Bryant, Miriam Kosik, Marvin Muller, Karolina Slowik, Andres Ayuela, Carsten Rockstuhl, Marta Pelc
Graphene flakes acting as photonic nanoantennas sustain strong electromagnetic field localization and enhancement. To exploit the field enhancement, quantum emitters such as atoms or molecules should be positioned in such close proximity to the flake that
