Electric-Double-Layer-Modulation Microscopy

Kavli Affiliate: Philipp Kukura | Summary:The electric double layer (EDL) formed around charged nanostructures at the liquid-solid interface determines their electrochemical activity and influences their electrical and optical polarizability. We experimentally demonstrate that restructuring of the EDL at the nanoscale can be detected by dark-field scattering microscopy. Temporal and spatial characterization of the scattering signal […]

Surface Reconstruction Limited Conductivity in Block-Copolymer Li Battery Electrolytes

Kavli Affiliate: Ulrich Wiesner | Summary:Solid polymer electrolytes for lithium batteries promise improvements in safety and energy density if their conductivity can be increased. Nanostructured block copolymer electrolytes specifically have the potential to provide both good ionic conductivity and good mechanical properties. This study shows that the previously neglected nanoscale composition of the polymer electrolyte […]

Deep Learning for Estimating Synaptic Health of Primary Neuronal Cell Culture

Kavli Affiliate: Noel Buckley | Summary:Understanding the morphological changes of primary neuronal cells induced by chemical compounds is essential for drug discovery. Using the data from a single high-throughput imaging assay, a classification model for predicting the biological activity of candidate compounds was introduced. The image recognition model which is based on deep convolutional neural […]

Independence Testing for Temporal Data

Kavli Affiliate: Ting Xu | First 5 Authors: Cencheng Shen, Jaewon Chung, Ronak Mehta, Ting Xu, Joshua T. Vogelstein | Summary: Temporal data are increasingly prevalent in modern data science. A fundamental question is whether two time-series are related or not. Existing approaches often have limitations, such as relying on parametric assumptions, detecting only linear […]

Liquid-Like Interfaces Mediate Structural Phase Transitions in Lead Halide Perovskites

Kavli Affiliate: Peidong Yang | First 5 Authors: Connor G. Bischak, Minliang Lai, Dylan Lu, Zhaochuan Fan, Philippe David | Summary: Microscopic pathways of structural phase transitions are difficult to probe because they occur over multiple, disparate time and length scales. Using $in$ $situ$ nanoscale cathodoluminescence microscopy, we visualize the thermally-driven transition to the perovskite […]

Entanglement, squeezing and state-swap in cholesteric liquid crystals

Kavli Affiliate: Ya Blanter | Summary:Phenomena such as state-swap, quadrature squeezing, entanglement and violation of entanglement inequalities are frequently reported to occur in quantum systems only. It is shown here that these effects can also occur in cholesteric liquid crystals in the presence of an applied magnetic field. The nature of these effects as well […]
