Experimental demonstration of plasma lens focusing

self-assembly is the most advanced and versatile system that has been experimentally demonstrated for programmable construction of patterned systems on the molecular scale. The methodology of DNA self-assembly begins with the synthesis of single-strand DNA molecules that self

Abstract: We propose and demonstrate an adaptive quality of transmission restoration scheme combining methods of lightpath rerouting and modulation format switching to combat real-time impairments in flexible bandwidth networks. Testbed demonstration achieved error-free performance. OCIS codes: 060

Contrary to theoretical expectations, measures of willingness to accept greatly exceed measures of willingness to pay. This paper reports several experiments that demonstrate that this "endowment effect" persists even in market settings with opportunities to learn. Consumption objects (e

–16] and quantum information manipula-tion [17–22]. The previous experiments all dealt with the single-component slow light. Here we report the first experimental demonstration of two-component or spinor slow light (SSL) using a double tripod (DT) atom-light coupling scheme [23–26] which involves two atomic ground

Abstract — We show through experiment and simulation that a high-centered round-bodied legged robot can locomote by generating out-of-phase motions of reaction masses attached to its legs. These leg motions create body attitude oscillations which, when coupled with the slipfree contact constraints, locomote the robot. By varying the mean position of the leg oscillations, the robot can move in different directions in the plane. We also present some simplified models, where body attitude dynamics and contact kinematics are decoupled, to explain this form of legless locomotion.

Abstract We present the latest experimental results within the WONDER project, aiming at the demonstration of an advanced packet-based WDM architecture that recently reached its full maturity. Our results show the feasibility of all-optical networking using commercially available optoelectronic

This article presents a measure of semantic similarityinanis-a taxonomy based on the notion of shared information content. Experimental evaluation against a benchmark set of human similarity judgments demonstrates that the measure performs better than the traditional edge-counting approach
