Search for relativistic fractionally charged particles in space

Jennifer Maria Frieden, Chiara Perrina, Jian Wang, Zhirui Xu, Yi Zhang, Siyuan Wang, Songmei Wu, Junqiu Liu, Johan Juul Chang, Jie Chen, Cheng Zhao, Wei Li, Yong Yang, Yi Wang, Hao Liu, Xiao Wang, Shuai Liu, Wenyu Zhang, Xuan Li, Yao Zhang, Ming Gao, Arshia Ruina, Andrii Kotenko

More than a century after the performance of the oil drop experiment, the possible existence of fractionally charged particles (FCPs) still remains unsettled. The search for FCPs is crucial for some extensions of the Standard Model in particle physics. Mos ...

To tread or not to tread: comparison between water treading and conventional flapping wing kinematics

Karen Ann J Mulleners, Alexander Gehrke, Swathi Badala Krishna

Hovering insects are limited by their physiology and need to rotate their wings at the end of each back-and-forth motion to keep the wing's leading edge ahead of its trailing edge. The wing rotation at the end of each half-stroke pushes the leading edge vo ...

Buoyancy-driven convection of droplets on hot nonwetting surfaces

François Gallaire, Eunok Yim

The global linear stability of a water drop on hot nonwetting surfaces is studied. The droplet is assumed to have a static shape and the surface tension gradient is neglected. First, the nonlinear steady Boussinesq equation is solved to obtain the axisymme ...

GNSS-Based Navigation for Lunar Missions

Vincenzo Capuano

Numerous applications, not only Earth-based, but also space-based, have strengthened the interest of the international scientific community in using Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSSs) as navigation systems for space missions that require good accu ...

Bipolar Conductance Switching of Single Anthradithiophene Molecules

Klaus Kern, Uta Schlickum, Hagen Klauk, Peter Wahl, Ivan Pentegov, Verena Katharina Schendel

Single molecular switches are basic device elements in organic electronics. The pentacene analogue anthradithiophene (ADT) shows a fully reversible binary switching between different adsorption conformations on a metallic surface accompanied by a charge tr ...

Early trafficking events of Mycobacterium ulcerans within Naucoris cimicoides

Stewart Cole

The severe skin-destructive disease caused by Mycobacterium ulcerans, named Buruli ulcer, is the third most important mycobacterial disease in humans after tuberculosis and leprosy. Recently we demonstrated that M. ulcerans could colonize the salivary glan ...
