Localized Ionic Reinforcement of Double Network Granular Hydrogels

Esther Amstad, Alexandra Thoma

Nature produces soft materials with fascinating combinations of mechanical properties. For example, the mussel byssus embodies a combination of stiffness and toughness, a feature that is unmatched by synthetic hydrogels. Key to enabling these excellent mec ...

Precision Positioning of Microrobots for Multi-Object Spectrographs

Luzius Gregor Kronig

How does one study the evolution of the Milky Way, or the expansion of the Universe, or explore the mysteries of Dark energy? To investigate these complex topics, astronomers require data, and a great deal of it, in the form of the spectra of stars, galaxi ...

Spatial control of heavy-fermion superconductivity in CeIrIn5

Philip Johannes Walter Moll, Matthias Carsten Putzke

Although crystals of strongly correlated metals exhibit a diverse set of electronic ground states, few approaches exist for spatially modulating their properties. In this study, we demonstrate disorder-free control, on the micrometer scale, over the superc ...

Modular and reconfigurable desktop microfactory for high precision manufacturing

Zhenishbek Zhakypov

Sub-millimeter scale devices are developing rapidly taking smaller, smarter, and more precise forms. This is achieved thanks to advancements in micro-manufacturing tools and techniques. For micro-production, a miniaturization of the machinery is a prominen ...

On the Limits of Precision Glass Molding for Diffractive Optical Elements

Karin Prater

Diffractive optical elements (DOEs) consist of surface reliefs with dimensions in the micrometer range and nanometer precision. Two technologies dominate: Elements replicated in plastic and directly microfabricated elements in fused silica. Plastic DOEs ar ...

Imaging samples larger than the field of view: the SLS experience

Goran Lovric, Alessandra Patera

Volumetric datasets with micrometer spatial and sub-second temporal resolutions are nowadays routinely acquired using synchrotron X-ray tomographic microscopy (SRXTM). Although SRXTM technology allows the examination of multiple samples with short scan tim ...

Optical reconstruction of transparent objects with phase-only SLMs

Christian Depeursinge

Three approaches for visualization of transparent micro-objects from holographic data using phase-only SLMs are described. The objects are silicon micro-lenses captured in the near infrared by means of digital holographic microscopy and a simulated weakly ...

Spin Rings in Bistable Planar Semiconductor Microcavities

Romuald Houdré, Timothy Chi Hin Liew

A remarkable feature of exciton-polaritons is the strongly spin-dependent polariton-polariton interaction, which has been predicted to result in the formation of spin rings in real space [Shelykh et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 100, 116401 (2008)]. Here we experi ...

Metal Ion Implanted Compliant Electrodes in Dielectric Electroactive Polymer (EAP) Membranes

Herbert Shea, Samuel Rosset, Muhamed Niklaus

One of the key factors to obtain large displacements and high efficiency with dielectric electroactive polymer (DEAPs) actuators is to have compliant electrodes. Attempts to scale DEAPs down to the mm or micrometer range have encountered major difficulties ...

New designs for submillimetric press-fitting

Jacques Jacot, Fabien Bourgeois, Ludovic Charvier

Press-fitting is a very common assembly process used in many fields, especially in the watchmaking industry. It consists of introducing a shaft in a hole (also called receptor) with a certain value of tightening (or interference). However, this process is ...

Bloch's law and the dynamics of feature fusion

Michael Herzog, Frank Scharnowski

How the visual brain integrates temporally dispersed information is an open question. Often, it is assumed that the visual system simply sums light over a certain period of time (e.g. Bloch's law). However, in feature fusion, information presented later do ...

Méthode d'étalonnage d'une machine-outil à cinématique parallèle à cinq axes à grands angles d'inclinaison

Hélène Frayssinet Mazerolle

A machine-tool is able to manufacture precisely only when it is calibrated. Calibration consists in correcting the model of the machine so that it represents the real kinematics. On no account calibrating a structure consists in changing some parts of the ...

Cell refractive index tomography by digital holographic microscopy

Pierre Marquet, Christian Depeursinge, Jonas Kühn, Tristan Colomb, Etienne Cuche, Florian Charrière, Frédéric Montfort, Mihaela Marian

For what we believe to be the first time, digital holographic microscopy is applied to perform optical diffraction tomography of a pollen grain. Transmission phase images with nanometric axial accuracy are numerically reconstructed from holograms acquired ...
