Surfaces designed to reduce the contact time of impacting droplets are potentially of great importance for fundamental science and technological applications, for example, anti-icing, self-cleaning ...

Biomechanical abnormalities of solid tumours involve stiffening of the tissue and accumulation of mechanical stresses. Both abnormalities affect cancer cell proliferation and invasiveness and thus, ...

Spatially masked optical Kerr effect (SM-OKE) spectroscopy is a nonresonant femtosecond pump–probe technique capable of measuring isotropic contributions to the transient birefringence of molecular ...
