<p>Motion analysis is used to study the functionality or dysfunctionality of the neuromuscular system, as human movements are the direct outcome of neuromuscular control. However, motion analysis often relies on measures that quantify simplified aspects of a motion, suc...

Shape-persistent macrocycles are attractive functional targets for synthesis, molecular recognition, and hierarchical self-assembly. Such macrocycles are noncollapsible and geometrically well-defined, and they are traditionally characterized by having repeat units and l...

In photoelectrochemical cells, one major recombination pathway involves a reaction between the photogenerated electrons that diffuse inside the semiconductor electrode and holes, in the form of oxidized ions, which travel in the electrolyte to the counter electrode. Her...

Detection of conduction disturbances in excitation wave propagation by increased concentration of 1-octanol (A: 0 μM; B: 1 μM; 10 μM and 100 μM not shown; C: 400 μM; and D: 1 mM; 0.1x actual velocity; scale bar: 2 mm). To visualize the flow of the excitation wave, seque...

Control of crystal shape is an indispensable step for various applications of crystalline products. However, obtaining the desired crystal shape by conventionally tuning environmental conditions (temperature, additives, etc.) cannot always be reached. Recently, we have ...
