Self-assembling kinetics: Accessing a new design space via differentiable statistical-physics models

Posted by dbos Harvard

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Brenner | First 5 Authors: Carl P. Goodrich, Ella M. King, Samuel S. Schoenholz, Ekin D. Cubuk, Michael Brenner | Summary: The inverse problem of designing component interactions to target emergent structure is fundamental to numerous applications in biotechnology, materials science, and statistical physics. Equally important is the inverse problem of designing […]

Diffusing wave spectroscopy: a unified treatment on temporal sampling and speckle ensemble methods

Posted by klaurent Caltech

Kavli Affiliate: Changhuei Yang | First 5 Authors: Jian Xu, Ali K. Jahromi, Changhuei Yang, , | Summary: Diffusing wave spectroscopy (DWS) is a well-known set of methods to measure the temporal dynamics of dynamic samples. In DWS, dynamic samples scatter the incident coherent light, and the information of the temporal dynamics is encoded in […]

Starting Dynamics of a Fully Electronically Controlled Linear Mamyshev Oscillator

Posted by klaurent Cornell

Kavli Affiliate: Frank Wise | First 5 Authors: Yi-Hao Chen, Pavel Sidorenko, Frank Wise, , | Summary: We start an environmentally-stable linear Mamyshev oscillator with electronically-controlled modulated pump and a moving filter. It delivers a 21-nJ pulse that becomes 65 fs in duration after a compressor. Reliable starting into stable mode-locking is found achievable with […]

Motivations and Preliminary Design for Mid-Air Deployment of a Science Rotorcraft on Mars

Posted by Caltech

Kavli Affiliate: Morteza Gharib | First 5 Authors: Jeff Delaune, Jacob Izraelevitz, Larry A. Young, William Rapin, Evgeniy Sklyanskiy | Summary: Mid-Air Deployment (MAD) of a rotorcraft during Entry, Descent and Landing (EDL) on Mars eliminates the need to carry a propulsion or airbag landing system. This reduces the total mass inside the aeroshell by […]
