Published: January 2014

We illustrate a general principal of electrical potential measurements from the surface of the cerebral cortex, by revisiting and reanalyzing experimental work from the visual, language and motor systems. A naive decomposition technique of electrocorticographic power spectral measurements reveals that broadband spectral changes reliably track task engagement. These broadband changes are shown to be a generic correlate of local cortical function across a variety of brain areas and behavioral tasks. Furthermore, they fit a power-law form that is consistent with simple models of the dendritic integration of asynchronous local population firing. Because broadband spectral changes covary with diverse perceptual and behavioral states on the timescale of 20-50 ms, they provide a powerful and widely applicable experimental tool.

Integration of Asymmetric Multi-Path Hollow Structure and Multiple Heterogeneous Interfaces in FeO@C@NiO Nanoprisms Enabling Ultra-Low and Broadband Absorption.

Key Laboratory of Aerospace Materials and Performance (Ministry of Education) School of Materials Science and Engineering, Beihang University, No.37 Xueyuan Road, Beijing, 100191, P. R. China.

A reasonable construction of hollow structures to obtain high-performance absorbers is widely studied, but it is still a challenge to select suitable materials to improve the low-frequency attenuation performance. Here, the FeO@C@NiO nanoprisms with unique tip shapes, asymmetric multi-path hollow cavity, and core-shell heteroepitaxy structure are designed and synthesized based on anisotropy and intrinsic physical characteristics. Impressively, by changing the load of NiO, the composites achieve strong absorption, broadband, low-frequency absorption: the reflection loss of -55.

Mid-infrared thermal radiation has attracted attention due to its wide range of applications. Compared to the static process of thermal emission, if thermal radiation can be dynamically controlled, it would be more suitable for practical applications. Herein, we designed a controllable thermal emitter based on phase change materials.

Low-vibration cryogenic test facility for next generation of ground-based gravitational-wave observatories.

Rev Sci Instrum

January 2025

OzGrav-ANU, ARC Centre for Gravitational Astrophysics, College of Science, The Australian National University, Canberra ACT2601, Australia.

We present the design and commissioning of a cryogenic low-vibration test facility that measures displacement noise from a gram-scale silicon cantilever at the level of 10-16m/Hz at 1 kHz. This sensitivity is necessary for future tests of thermal noise models on cross sections of silicon suspension samples proposed for future gravitational-wave detectors. A volume of ∼36 l is enclosed by radiation shields cooling an optical test cavity that is suspended from a multi-stage pendulum chain providing isolation from acoustic and environmental noise.

A highly visible-transparent thermochromic smart window with broadband infrared modulation for all-season energy savings.

Thermochromic smart windows effectively reduce the energy consumption for buildings through passive light modulation including the transmission of visible (T) and near-infrared (T) light, and the emissivity of mid-infrared (ε) light in response to ambient temperature change. However, thermochromic windows that maintain high T while modulating T and ε simultaneously are highly desirable but still challenging. Here, we develop a thermochromic smart window based on a two-way shape memory polymer to enable reversible transformation and achieve T modulation of 44.
