This paper presents a novel technique for low-power generation of frequency combs (FC) over a wide frequency range. It leverages modal interactions between electrical and mechanical resonators in electrostatic NEMS operating in air to provide a simple architecture for FC generators. A biased voltage signal drives the electrical resonator at resonance which is set to match an integer submultiple of twice the mechanical resonator's resonance.

Article Synopsis
  • The study explores the relationship between dietary choline intake and transient global amnesia (TGA), suggesting a potential protective effect of choline on memory.
  • Researchers analyzed data from 258 TGA patients and 520 non-amnesic participants using a validated food questionnaire, finding a significant inverse relationship between choline intake and TGA occurrence.
  • The findings remained significant even after controlling for various lifestyle factors, indicating the need for more extensive research to further confirm choline's effects on memory function.

In this study, we present an innovative approach leveraging combination internal resonances within a NEMS platform to generate mechanical soliton frequency combs (FCs) spanning a broad spectrum. In the time domain, the FCs take the form of a periodic train of narrow pulses, a highly coveted phenomenon within the realm of nonlinear wave-matter interactions. Our method relies on an intricate interaction among multiple vibration modes of a bracket-nanocantilever enabled by the strong nonlinearity of the electrostatic field.

Radiation research is a multidisciplinary field, and among its many branches, mathematical and computational modelers have played a significant role in advancing boundaries of knowledge. A fundamental contribution is modelling cellular response to ionizing radiation as that is the key to not only understanding how radiation can kill cancer cells, but also cause cancer and other health issues. The invention of microdosimetry in the 1950s by Harold Rossi paved the way for brilliant scientists to study the mechanism of radiation at cellular and sub-cellular scales.
