physical demonstrations and gestures become an even more important part of the exchange. Nonverbal communication is a critical component of interaction that assists with understanding2and can sometimes overcome language barriers3. Thus,
An alternate approach to NMR at the nanoscale makes use of individually addressable paramagnetic centres near the surface of a solid-state host to probe sample spin species in its immediate vicinity. Perhaps the most prominent example is the nitrogen- vacancy (NV) centre, a spin-1 defect in ...
<italic>Context.</italic> Despite being a commonly observed feature, the modification of the velocity structure in spectral line profiles by hyperfine structure complicates the interpretation of spectroscopic data. This is particularly true for observati
Despite significant interest in geckos, it is unclear how the gecko adhesive system simultaneously manages variation in ambient temperature and RH. Specifically, experimental results and computational models of single seta and setal array adhesion in variable RH suggest that either capillary adhesion or ...
Minimally-invasive surgery is rapidly growing and has become a standard approach for many operations. However, it requires intensive practice to achieve competency. The current training often relies on animal organ models or physical organ phantoms, whic
