We report phase and amplitude measurements of large coherent structures originating from the noise-induced modulation instability in optical fibers. By using a specifically designed time-lens system (SEAHORSE) in which aberrations are compensated, the complex field is recorded in single-shot over long durations of 200 ps with sub-picosecond resolution. Signatures of Akhmediev breather-like patterns are identified in the ultrafast temporal dynamics in very good agreement with numerical predictions based on the nonlinear Schrödinger equation.

With the use of matter (carbon dioxide, nutrients, and water) and solar energy, phytoplankton produce oxygen and carbohydrates, which are transported to predators through the oceanic food web hierarchy. From the viewpoint of irreversible processes of non-equilibrium thermodynamics, oceanic photosynthesis gives a mechanistic picture of living things characterized by double sets of self-organizations supported by flows of energy and entropy discarded into the ocean environment. This produces biological, ocean circulation, and climate interactions.

Animal morphogenesis, the development of an organism's body form, is commonly perceived as a directed and almost deterministic process. However, noise and stochastic fluctuations are ubiquitous in biological systems. The questions on the role of fluctuations in morphogenesis and what ensures the robustness of this process under noisy conditions remain elusive.

Blind listeners rely more on their auditory skills than the sighted to adapt to unavailable visual information. However, it is still unclear whether the blind has stronger noise-related modulation compared with the sighted when speech is presented under adverse listening conditions. This study aims to address this research gap by constructing noisy conditions and syllable contrasts to obtain auditory middle-latency response (MLR) and long-latency response (LLR) in blind and sighted adults.

Subjective tinnitus is a phantom auditory perception in the absence of an actual acoustic stimulus that affects 15% of the global population. In humans, tinnitus is often associated with disturbed sleep and, interestingly, there is an overlap between the brain areas involved in tinnitus and regulation of NREM sleep. We used eight adult ferrets exposed to mild noise trauma as an animal model of tinnitus.

Intense noise poses a threat to spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs) in the inner ear, often resulting in limited axonal regeneration during noise injury and leading to noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL). Here, we propose an ultrasound-triggered nitric oxide (NO) release to enhance the sprouting and regeneration of injured axons in SGNs. We developed hollow silicon nanoparticles to load nitrosylated N-acetylcysteine, producing HMSN-SNO, which effectively protects NO from external interferences.
