Quasi-bound flat bands in the continuum
The theoretical framework for the quasi-bound flat bands in the continuum We start with a one-dimensional (1D) silicon…
Satellite swarms set to photobomb more than 95% of some telescopes’ images
Many of the images taken by the Hubble Space Telescope will be blemished by satellite trails if plans…
Search for light sterile neutrinos with two neutrino beams at MicroBooNE
A broad experimental programme has shown that the three quantum-mechanical eigenstates of neutrino flavour, νe, νμ and ντ,…
Soliton dynamics and stability in resonant nonlinear Schrödinger systems with cubic quintic effects via enhanced modified extended tanh function method
Our goal in this part is to get the next form of solutions for Eq. (1): $$\begin{aligned} R(x,y,z,t)=R(\xi…

Experimentally achieving minimal dissipation via thermodynamically optimal transport
We begin by implementing a translation and compression protocol—a simple yet highly controllable process — to experimentally characterize…
Ultrafast Coulomb blockade in an atomic-scale quantum dot
Sample preparation Our WSe2 samples are grown via metal organic chemical vapor deposition on few-layer epitaxial graphene supported…
Observation of space-time surface plasmon polaritons
Theoretical formulation The conceptual formulation of ST-SPPs is best understood by visualizing their spectral representation on the surface…
Passive air sampling detects environmental DNA transfer from water into air
Field sampling We conducted this study near Seattle, Washington USA, in Issaquah Creek, a salmon spawning stream, outside…
