Penetration depth in dirty superconducting NbTiN thin films grown at room temperature
We present a study on the superconducting properties of 500 nm thick NbTiN films grown by reactive co-sputtering on silicon substrates at room temperature. The samples exhibit a chemical composition with Nb (50 a...

Open AccessObservation of a new type of self-generated current in magnetized plasmas
A tokamak, a torus-shaped nuclear fusion device, needs an electric current in the plasma to produce magnetic field in the poloidal direction for confining fusion plasmas. Plasma current is conventionally gener...

Numerical study of plasma evolution X-pinches in two- and three-dimensional geometry using a MHD code, STHENO
This paper deals with a newly developed resistive magnetohydrodynamic code, STHENO, for X-pinch analyses on 3D (x, y, z) and 2D (r, z) geometry. The single-fluid two-temperature model is adopted by assuming colli...

A coupled reaction–diffusion–strain model predicts cranial vault formation in development and disease
How cells utilize instructions provided by genes and integrate mechanical forces generated by tissue growth to produce morphology is a fundamental question of biology. Dermal bones of the vertebrate cranial va...

Rapid scene perception with tragic consequences: observers miss perceiving vulnerable road users, especially in crowded traffic scenes
How does scene complexity influence the detection of expected and appropriate objects within the scene? Traffic research has indicated that vulnerable road users (VRUs: pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorcyclis...
