Figure 1. (a) Schematic diagram of the thin-film lithium niobate optical waveguide phased array, with the top-right inset showing the superlattice structure and the bottom-left inset showing the cross ...

The big picture: If successfully scaled to industrial production, these chips could extend Moore's Law into the atomic domain by enabling far greater component density without incurring unsustainable ...

Scientists found that the strength of the Florida Current, the beginning of the Gulf Stream system and a key component of the global Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, or AMOC, has remained ...

shapedtw-python is an extension to the dtw-python package, implementing the shape dtw algorithm described by L. Itii and J. Zhao in their paper (it can be downloaded from here: shapeDTW: shape Dynamic ...

Mathematicians predicted that if they imposed enough restrictions on how a shape might tile space, they could force a periodic pattern to emerge. But they were wrong. One of the oldest and simplest ...

NumPy is known for being fast, but could it go even faster? Here’s how to use Cython to accelerate array iterations in NumPy. NumPy gives Python users a wickedly fast library for working with data in ...

How a cell changes from one stable phenotype to another one is a fundamental problem in developmental and cell biology. Mathematically, a stable phenotype corresponds to a stable attractor in a ...

Flexible light-emitting devices that can transform from two-dimensional to three-dimensional (3D) forms could be of use in the development of next-generation displays. Various approaches for ...

Geometric models are used for modelling meaning in various semantic-space models. They are seductive in their simplicity and their imaginative qualities, and for that reason, their metaphorical power ...

Recent rapid advances in spatiotemporal optical pulses demand accurate characterization of the spatiotemporal structure of the produced light fields. We report an automated close-loop characterization ...
