The Precessions process polishes complex surfaces from the ground state preserving the ground-in form, and subsequently rectifies measured form errors. Our first paper introduced the technology and focused on the novel tooling. In this paper we describe the unique CNC machine tools and how they operate in polishing and correcting form. Experimental results demonstrate both the '2D' and '2(1/2)D' form-correction modes, as applied to aspheres with rotationally-symmetric target-form.

Background: The research on possible cerebral involvement in Crohn's disease (CD) has been largely marginalized and failed to capitalize on recent developments in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Objective: This cross-sectional pilot study searches for eventual macrostructural and microstructural brain affection in CD in remission and early after the disease onset.

Methods: 14 paediatric CD patients and 14 healthy controls underwent structural, diffusion weighted imaging and quantitative relaxation metrics acquisition, both conventional free precession and adiabatic rotating frame transverse and longitudinal relaxation time constants as markers of myelination, iron content and cellular loss.

Ferroelectric properties of HfZrO are strongly correlated with its crystallographic orientation, with the [001] direction serving as the polar axis. However, the epitaxial growth of highly polar-axis-oriented HfZrO layers with pronounced ferroelectricity is rarely reported. Here epitaxial (001)-oriented HfZrO thin films grown by atomic layer epitaxy (ALE) is demonstrated, which achieve a state-of-the-art ferroelectric polarization up to 78.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have emerged as promising biomarkers in liquid biopsy, owing to their ubiquitous presence in bodily fluids and their ability to carry disease-related cargo. Recognizing their significance in disease diagnosis and treatment, substantial efforts have been dedicated to developing efficient methods for EV isolation, detection, and analysis. EVs, heterogeneous membrane-encapsulated vesicles secreted by all cells, contain bioactive substances capable of modulating recipient cell biology upon internalization, including proteins, lipids, DNA, and various RNAs.

All-Optical Ultrafast Arbitrary Rotation of Hole Orbital Qubits with Direct Phase Control.

Phys Rev Lett

November 2024

State Key Laboratory of Extreme Photonics and Instrumentation, College of Information Science and Electronic Engineering, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310027, China.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on achieving precise control of a quantum bit (qubit) within quantum dots, an important aspect for advancing photonic quantum information technologies.
  • Researchers have successfully demonstrated the ability to perform arbitrary rotations on a hole orbital qubit using short optical pulses, allowing for direct phase control.
  • This method utilizes a process called stimulated Raman transitions, enabling fine-tuned control over the angles of the Bloch vector, making orbital states in solid-state quantum emitters useful for fast quantum information processing.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study analyzes Early Eocene Arctic climate dynamics using sediments to understand climate patterns without ice, focusing on orbital variability that influenced climate changes during that period.
  • - High-resolution records of lipid biomarkers and pollen indicate that temperature changes were linked to orbital cycles, with significant sea surface temperature increases tied to higher precipitation and nutrient supply in the Arctic Basin.
  • - The research suggests that Arctic climate responses during the Early Eocene were significantly influenced by local insolation, showing stronger temperature variability compared to the deep ocean and tropics, even in the absence of ice-albedo feedbacks.
