A scattering layer is usually considered an obstacle to imaging. However, using speckle correlation imaging techniques, the scattering layer effectively acts as a lens. To date, the speckle correlation imaging method has been limited to imaging sparse samples. Here, we demonstrate imaging of incoherently illuminated extended objects in transmission and around-the-corner geometries. We are able to image extended objects by constraining the illumination spot on the object and then scanning the object. A ptychography algorithm is used to reconstruct the extended object. This work demonstrates the applicability of ptychography to spatially incoherent light and enables a new method of imaging in spectral regions where there is limited choice in optics, such as the terahertz, extreme ultraviolet, and x-ray regions.

Mirror-invariance enables recognition of mirrored objects as identical. During reading acquisition, sighted readers must overcome this innate bias to distinguish between mirror-inverted letters ('d' vs. 'b').

Background: Fine motor skill deficits have been reported for children with histories of prenatal alcohol exposure, but little is known whether impaired motor skill extends to the regulation of precision grip control.
Methods: Children with (n = 15) and without (n = 17) histories of heavy prenatal alcohol exposure used their dominant hand to grasp, lift, and hold in space a small-instrumented object with a mass of 19 g. Object mass was also experimentally increased by separately adding two aluminum cubes with mass of 200 and 400 g.

This work presents air-coupled piezoelectric micromachined ultrasonic transducers (pMUTs) with high sound pressure level (SPL) under low-driving voltages by utilizing sputtered potassium sodium niobate KNaNbO (KNN) films. A prototype single KNN pMUT has been tested to show a resonant frequency at 106.3 kHz under 4 V with outstanding characteristics: (1) a large vibration amplitude of 3.

Optomechanical sensors provide a platform for probing acoustic/vibrational properties at the micro-scale. Here, we used cavity optomechanical sensors to interrogate the acoustic environment of adjacent air bubbles in water. We report experimental observations of the volume acoustic modes of these bubbles, including both the fundamental Minnaert breathing mode and a family of higher-order modes extending into the megahertz frequency range.

Motivation: The efficient and reproducible analysis of high-throughput sequencing datasets necessitates the development of methodical and robust computational pipelines that integrate established and bespoke bioinformatics analysis tools, often written in high-level programming languages such as Python. Despite the increasing availability of programming libraries for genomics, there is a noticeable lack of tools specifically focused on transcriptomics. Key tasks in this area include the association of gene features (e.
