Sustained unidirectional rotation of a self-organized DNA rotor on a nanopore

Kavli Affiliate: Cees Dekker | First 5 Authors: Xin Shi, Anna-Katharina Pumm, Jonas Isensee, Wenxuan Zhao, Daniel Verschueren | Summary: Flow-driven rotary motors drive functional processes in human society such as windmills and water wheels. Although examples of such rotary motors also feature prominently in cell biology, their synthetic construction at the nanoscale has thus […]

Highly sensitive measurement of a megahertz rf electric field with a Rydberg-atom sensor

Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: Bang Liu, Li-Hua Zhang, Zong-Kai Liu, Zheng-Yuan Zhang, Zhi-Han Zhu | Summary: Rydberg atoms have great potential in electric field measurement and have an advantage with a large frequency bandwidth from the kHz to the THz scale. However, the sensitivity for measuring a weak MHz electric field […]

Med-DANet: Dynamic Architecture Network for Efficient Medical Volumetric Segmentation

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Wenxuan Wang, Chen Chen, Jing Wang, Sen Zha, Yan Zhang | Summary: For 3D medical image (e.g. CT and MRI) segmentation, the difficulty of segmenting each slice in a clinical case varies greatly. Previous research on volumetric medical image segmentation in a slice-by-slice manner conventionally use the […]

When quantum corrections alter the predictions of classical field theory for scalar field dark matter

Kavli Affiliate: Tom Abel | First 5 Authors: Andrew Eberhardt, Michael Kopp, Tom Abel, , | Summary: We investigate the timescale on which quantum corrections alter the predictions of classical field theory for scalar field dark matter. This is accomplished by including second order terms in the evolution proportional to the covariance of the field […]
