Plants as a window on emergent memory and computation in dynamical distributed multicellular systems
Plants are multicellular organisms with no brain, yet they respond to external stimuli by coordinating their cells into strategic growth-driven movement, termed tropisms.Specifical...
Functional characterization of the colorectal cancer metastasis microbiome
Host cells and microbial inhabitants form an intricate ecosystem in the human body, extensively influencing host phenotypes in health and disease.Despite much progress in sequencin...
Learning to synthesize interactive 3D models
Visualizing our surroundings and imagination has been an integral part of human history.In today's era, we have the privilege to immerse in 3D digital environments and interac...
Solving differential equations fast, precisely, and reliably
Being a language of nature, differential equations are ubiquitous in science and technology. Solving them is a fundamental computational task with a long and rich history.Applicati...
A breakthrough in the two-way coupling within a wave-current-atmosphere system
The Wave-Current-Atmosphere (WCA) system in the upper ocean is an air-sea interface that drives the physical, chemical, and biological processes crucial to our global climate and e...
When Humans and Algorithms Co-Supervise Workers: Algorithmic Management Under Conventional Employment
In recent years, we have been witnessing a move to algorithmic management, in which supervisory tasks—instructing workers; appraising their performance; and determining their compe...
The Geopoliticization of Trade Policy
Currently, we witness the “geopoliticization” of trade, namely the linking of national security concerns to trade policy.While this geopoliticization is related to the U.S.-China t...
Preventing Alport syndrome with a natural amino acid
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major burden on society, causing significant morbidity and mortality.A typical symptom of CKD is the loss of protein into the urine, also termed p...
Modelling transient granular flow
Granular materials are omnipresent in our daily life.The same granular material can behave like solid and fluid, which poses a formidable challenge to the constitutive models and n...
Explaining human decision-making by combining choice and process data
Decision-making is a core element of human activity, and the decisions we make can have significant consequences for ourselves, others, and the world we live in.Thus, the ability t...
Dynamics of mental representations and learning in preverbal infants
Understanding the initial architecture and learning algorithms of the human brain are central goals for cognitive neuroscience.Anatomical and functional brain-imaging studies have...
Retelling and Repetition: Towards a Literary History of Derivation
Why are contemporary readers so fascinated by retellings of the Iliad or Beowulf?And why have retellings of premodern – ancient and medieval – texts not been taken seriously as a l...
Eco-Islam in Indonesia: Media, Institutions, Publics
In Indonesia, the world’s most populous Muslim country, a so-called mediated “eco-jihad” (Zbidi 2013) has emerged.Today, Islamic ‘green’ pop musicians, eco-YouTube-imams, films, an...
Female Slavery in Mediterranean Catholic Europe, 1500-1800
More than one million, and perhaps as many as two million individuals were enslaved in the Catholic regions of the early modern Mediterranean.Despite evidence of the prevalence of...
New physics in parity violation. From the Thomson limit to the energy frontier
The theory of elementary particle physics, the Standard Model (SM), provides a successful description of the basic constituents of matter and the forces acting between them.However...
Digital Time Use, Adolescent Well-Being and Social Inequalities
In our highly unequal and digitalised world, understanding how adolescents digital lives intersect with social inequalities is critical.Research has consistently shown that adolesc...
Deep learning of chemical reactions
The exploration of reactions is a central topic in chemistry.Compared to the success of machine learning for molecules, the modeling of reactions is lagging behind, especially for...
Electricity generated from heat with nonlinear pyroelectric materials
Electric energy stands for 20% of the total energy consumed in the world, and this share is expected to reach 40% by 2050 as an outcome of the need to decrease our dependence on no...
Neuromorphic computing system for real-time signal monitoring and classification with ultra-low-power 2D devices
The detection and classification of electrophysiological signals (EPSs), such as electroencephalography (EEG) and electromyography (EMG) recordings, are the gold standard in neuros...
TURBULENCE, PEBBLES AND PLANETESIMALS : THE ORIGIN OF MINOR BODIES IN THE SOLAR SYSTEM
The Minor Bodies of the Solar System, Asteroids, Trojans, Comets and Kuiper Belt Objects are left over planetary building bricks called planetesimals once abundant in the solar neb...
