Wind-Topo: Downscaling near-surface wind fields to high-resolution topography in highly complex terrain with deep learning

Michael Lehning, Jérôme François Sylvain Dujardin

Predicting wind flow in highly complex terrain like the Alps is a challenge for all models. When physical processes need to be resolved in a spatially explicit manner, grids with high horizontal resolution of a few hundred meters are often required and dra ...

Microscopic interplay of temperature and disorder of a one-dimensional elastic interface

Elisabeth Agoritsas, Thierry Giamarchi

Elastic interfaces display scale-invariant geometrical fluctuations at sufficiently large lengthscales. Their asymptotic static roughness then follows a power-law behavior, whose associated exponent provides a robust signature of the universality class to ...

The Pristine survey XI: the FORS2 sample

Pascale Jablonka, Carmela Lardo

Extremely metal-poor (EMP) stars are old objects that mostly formed very early after the big bang. They are rare and, to select them, we have to rely on low-resolution spectroscopic or photometric surveys; specifically the combination of narrow- and broad- ...

Microsphere-mediated optical contrast tuning for designing imaging systems with adjustable resolution gain

Martinus Gijs, Daniel Migliozzi, Gergely Huszka

Upon illumination, a dielectric microsphere (mu,S) can generate a photonic nanojet (PNJ), which plays a role in the super-resolution imaging of a sample placed in the mu S's immediate proximity. Recent microscopy implementations pioneered this concept but, ...

Spinning-disc confocal microscopy in the second near-infrared window (NIR-II)

Vitalijs Zubkovs, Ardemis Anoush Boghossian, Alessandra Antonucci, Benjamin Paul Johanès Gabriel Lambert

Fluorescence microscopy in the second near-infrared optical window (NIR-II, 1000–1350 nm) has become a technique of choice for non-invasive in vivo imaging. The deep penetration of NIR light in living tissue, as well as negligible tissue autofluorescence w ...

Light control in a multicore fiber using the memory effect

Demetri Psaltis, Christophe Moser, Nicolino Stasio, Donald Benjaman Conkey

Endoscopic imaging through a multicore fiber (MCF) is widely used but is affected by pixelated images, which limits its resolution to a few micrometers. This is due to the spacing between the cores in the MCF, which is large enough to avoid core-to-core li ...
