We experimentally demonstrate optoacoustic cooling via stimulated Brillouin-Mandelstam scattering in a 50 cm-long tapered photonic crystal fiber. For a 7.38 GHz acoustic mode, a cooling rate of 219 K from room temperature has been achieved. As anti-S...
In the name of gut health, what wouldn’t you try for better digestion? This gem gets two thumbs-up.
Confused in the bread aisle? Dietitians say choosing a healthy loaf comes down to just a few label-reading habits. Here’s exactly what to look for.
Dietitians explain why blueberries are the best fruit for better blood sugar and how their fiber and antioxidants help support a steadier glucose response.
The efficacy claims of many hair growth products don’t have to be tested rigorously, and often are not.
This simple and satisfying snack is chock-full of omega-3s, fiber and antioxidants to stave off inflammation.
See what this fruit bowl staple can do for your health.
the construction and joint operation of a fiber-optic transmission line (FOTL) in the section of the Khasan–Tumangang railway checkpoint. This is the first
In this article we give an explicit description of the Hitchin fiber of SU(1,2) Higgs bundles $(L,F,γ,β)$ over a compact Riemann surface $X$ of genus $\ge 2$ with $q=γ\circβ$ having simple zeros and Toledo invariant $τ=2 \rm{deg} L$ satisfying $...
A rapid and efficient photo-bleaching process was demonstrated with a high-energy nanosecond pulse to recover existing and/or revealed color centers on 10 kGy Gamma-irradiated Yb-doped optical fiber. Multi-mJ pulsed laser based on an optical parametr...
By Cheeger-Colding's almost splitting theorem, if a domain in a Ricci flat manifold is pointed-Gromov-Hausdorff close to a lower dimensional Euclidean domain, then there is a harmonic almost splitting map. We show that any eigenfunction of the Laplac...
We present 115 new spectroscopically identified members of the GD-1 tidal stream observed with the 5000-fiber Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI). We confirm the existence of a ``cocoon'' which is a broad (FWHM~2.932 deg ~ 460 pc) and kinemat...
The external sphincter muscle of the female urethra is a muscle which controls urination in females. The muscle fibers arise on either side from the margin
Fiber-reinforced plastic is a composite made of a polymer matrix reinforced with fibers. A composite is a mixture of two materials, one of which makes the other stronger.
The present paper deals with the surface heat flux estimation with thermocouples (TC) and fiber Bragg grating (FBG) embedded in the plasma facing components (PFC) of the WEST tokamak. A 2D heat transfer model combined with the conjugate gradient meth...
Owing to its repeater-like rate-loss scaling, twin-field quantum key distribution (TF-QKD) has repeatedly exhibited in laboratory its superiority for secure communication over record fiber lengths. Field trials pose a new set of challenges however, w...
Find out what fiber-reinforced polymer composite materials are, how they’re made, and their unique advantages over traditional materials.
