Motion-related artifacts are inevitable in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and can bias automated neuroanatomical metrics such as cortical thickness. These biases can interfere with statistical analysis which is a major concern as motion…
Biological activity gives rise to non-equilibrium fluctuations in the cytoplasm of cells; however, there are few methods to directly measure these fluctuations. Using a reconstituted actin cytoskeleton, we show that the bending dynamics of…
We show that ultrathin metasurfaces with a specific multiresonant response can enable simultaneously arbitrarily-strong and arbitrarily-broadband dispersion compensation, pulse (de-)chirping and compression or broadening. This breakthrough…
Axions and axion-like particles generically appear in extensions of the Standard Model. While many searches assume only a single axion species, there may exist a whole spectrum of multiple such fields. We develop general formulas for…
In cell membranes, proteins and lipids diffuse in a highly crowded and heterogeneous landscape, where aggregates and dense domains of proteins or lipids obstruct the path of diffusing molecules. In general, hindered motion gives rise to…
When matter orbits around a central mass obliquely with respect to the mass's spin axis, the Lense-Thirring effect causes it to precess at a rate declining sharply with radius. Ever since the work of Bardeen & Petterson (1975), it has been…
In this study, a vasomotion quantification method using a photoplethysmography prototype, which performs near-infrared spectroscopy in combination with green light, is proposed. A structure that suppresses the motion artifact and that is…
We introduce an unsupervised deep manifold learning algorithm for motion-compensated dynamic MRI. We assume that the motion fields in a free-breathing lung MRI dataset live on a manifold. The motion field at each time instant is modeled as…
The quality of fetal ultrasound images is significantly affected by motion blur while the imaging system requires low motion quality in order to capture accurate data. This can be achieved with a mathematical model of motion blur in time or…
Flat panel computed tomography is used intraoperatively to assess the result of surgery. Due to workflow issues, the acquisition typically cannot be carried out in such a way that the axis aligned multiplanar reconstructions (MPR) of the…
This paper aims at mathematically modeling a new multi-physics conductivity imaging system incorporating mechanical vibrations simultaneously applied to an imaging object together with current injections. We perturb the internal…
We derive an equation that governs the spatiotemporal dynamics of small amplitude alternans in paced cardiac tissue. We show that a pattern-forming linear instability leads to the spontaneous formation of stationary or traveling waves whose…
Atomic force microscopy (AFM) enables nanoscale characterization and has been widely applied to a broad range of systems. Over the past two decades, advances in high-speed AFM have enabled not only the imaging of static structures but also…
Cells control fluid flows with a spatial and temporal precision that far exceeds the capabilities of current microfluidic technologies. Cells achieve this superior spatio-temporal control by harnessing dynamic networks of cytoskeleton and…
We study a series of the Wess-Zumino actions obtained by repeatedly integrating conformal anomalies with respect to the conformal-factor field that appear at higher loops. We show that they arise as physical quantities required to make…
Biological systems achieve precise control over ambient fluids through the self-organization of active protein structures including flagella, cilia, and cytoskeletal networks. In active structures individual proteins consume chemical energy…
The mechanism of atrial fibrillation (AF) is poorly understood, resulting in disappointing success rates of ablative treatment. Different mechanisms defined largely by different atrial activation patterns have been proposed and, arguably,…
Fluctuations play a central role in many fields of physics, from quantum electrodynamics to statistical mechanics. In active matter physics, most models focus on thermal fluctuations due to a surrounding solvent. An alternative but much…
A ubiquitous observation in crowded cell membranes is that molecular transport does not follow Fickian diffusion but exhibits subdiffusion. The microscopic origin of such a behaviour is not understood and highly debated. Here we discuss the…
Neuronal function requires precise spatial organization of mitochondria to meet localized energetic demand. However, the physical constraints governing mitochondrial transport in axons remain poorly defined. Bidirectional motor-driven…
