A FLIP device gives cross-sectional area along the length of the esophagus and one pressure measurement, both as a function of time. Deducing mechanical properties of the esophagus including wall material properties, contraction strength,…
The esophagogastric junction (EGJ) is located at the distal end of the esophagus and acts as a valve allowing swallowed materials to enter the stomach and preventing acid reflux. Irregular weakening or stiffening of the EGJ muscles result…

Manipulations of a constrained object often use a non-rigid grasp that allows the object to rotate relative to the end effector. This orientation slip strategy is often present in natural human demonstrations, yet it is generally overlooked…
Quantum spin liquids (QSLs) are highly entangled ground states of insulating spin systems, in which magnetic ordering is prevented down to the lowest temperatures due to quantum fluctuations. One of the most extraordinary characteristics of…
