Single-cell-level analysis of cell growth and death

Traditional diagnosis of antibiotic resistance provides an incomplete picture about antibiotic susceptibility. For example, the breakpoint of a β-lactam antibiotic, cefsulodin, is 32 μg/ml^32,

General Framework

Variational quantum circuits for machine learning

A variational quantum circuit (VQC) is described in the following manner. We consider the d-dimensional input vector \({\bf{x}}\in {\mathcal{X}}\subset {{\mathbb{R}}}^{d}\), which…

Single-cell metabolic model and flux space

To build our theoretical setup, we begin by modeling the metabolic flux space available to a single mammalian cell through CBM with the minimal reaction network for energy production by central carbon…

Electronic Mach-Zehnder interferometer device

The cornerstone of a flying qubit platform is the Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI). Here, individual particles are injected on demand, put in a superposition of states at the initial beam splitter,…

Lithium-ion segregation at grain boundaries

GB segregation, which refers to the uneven distribution of chemical compositions between neighboring grains in solid materials, significantly impacts mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, fatigue…

Structure design

Figure 1a shows the schematic of the proposed cantilever beam-based PMUT. It consists of four identical triangular piezoelectric cantilever beams, which are arranged into a square shape and electrically connected together for…

Acoustic levitation system

We use a single-axis Langevin-type horn to generate intense ultrasound (frequency f ≈ 34,800 Hz) capable of lifting small particles against the force of gravity, as shown in Fig. 2a. A piezoelectric transducer…

In CFD numerical simulations, it is important to select a suitable computational model, determine the computational domain with a description of the boundary (initial) conditions. When determining the appropriate settings and selecting the…

The attenuation of electromagnetic signals is affected by multiple factors, including the excitation frequency, the resistivity of mud and formation, the conductivity of casing and so on. In this study, we conduct numerical research using the…
