Synergistic Effects of Korean Mistletoe and Apple Peel Extracts on Muscle Strength and Endurance.

Muscular strength and endurance are vital for physical fitness. While mistletoe extract has shown efficacy in significantly increasing muscle strength and endurance, its accessibility is limited. This study explores combining mistletoe and apple peel extracts as an effective muscle health supplement.

Multi-site integrated optical addressing of trapped ions.

One of the most effective ways to advance the performance of quantum computers and quantum sensors is to increase the number of qubits or quantum resources in the system. A major technical challenge that must be solved to realize this goal for trapped-ion systems is scaling the delivery of optical signals to many individual ions. In this paper we demonstrate an approach employing waveguides and multi-mode interferometer splitters to optically address multiple Yb ions in a surface trap by delivering all wavelengths required for full qubit control.

The stiffness adjustable wheel mechanism based on compliant spoke deformation.

This study proposes a variable-stiffness mechanism for non-pneumatic tires such that can actively adapt to various environments. Non-pneumatic tire is a compliant wheel structure that offers superior robustness and adaptability compared to pneumatic tires. However, the tire designed for certain terrain exhibits relatively high rolling resistance and inadequate suspension.

Spontaneous emission of matter waves from a tunable open quantum system.

The decay of an excited atom undergoing spontaneous photon emission into the fluctuating quantum-electrodynamic vacuum is an emblematic  example of the dynamics of an open quantum system. Recent experiments have demonstrated that the gapped photon dispersion in periodic structures, which prevents photons in certain frequency ranges from propagating, can give rise to unusual spontaneous-decay behaviour, including the formation of dissipative bound states. So far, these effects have been restricted to the optical domain.
