New Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) observations of small-scale (~7 ion inertial length radius) flux transfer events (FTEs) at the dayside magnetopause are reported. The 10 km MMS tetrahedron size enables their structure and properties to be calculated using a variety...

The dynamics of unentangled polymers during capillary rise infiltration into a nanoparticle packing.

Shavit A, Riggleman RA.
PMID: 26355281
Soft Matter. 2015 Nov 14;11(42):8285-95. doi: 10.1039/c5sm01866h.

Although highly packed polymer nanocomposites (PNCs) are important for a wide array of applications, preparing them remains difficult because of the poor dispersion of NPs at high loading fractions. One method to successfully prepare PNCs with high loadings is...

Modeling Disorders of Blood Coagulation in the Zebrafish.

Curr Pathobiol Rep. 2015 Jun;3(2):155-161. doi: 10.1007/s40139-015-0081-3.

Hemostasis, the process of blood clot formation and resolution in response to vascular injury, and thrombosis, the dysregulation of hemostasis leading to pathological clot formation, are widely studied. However, the genetic variability in hemostatic and thrombotic disorders is incompletely...

Return to Mercury: a global perspective on MESSENGER's first Mercury flyby.

Science (New York, N.Y.)

Science. 2008 Jul 04;321(5885):59-62. doi: 10.1126/science.1159706.

In January 2008, the MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry, and Ranging (MESSENGER) spacecraft became the first probe to fly past the planet Mercury in 33 years. The encounter revealed that Mercury is a dynamic system; its liquid iron-rich outer...

The structure of Mercury's magnetic field from MESSENGER's first flyby.

Science. 2008 Jul 04;321(5885):82-5. doi: 10.1126/science.1159081.

During its first flyby of Mercury, the MESSENGER spacecraft measured the planet's near-equatorial magnetic field. The field strength is consistent to within an estimated uncertainty of 10% with that observed near the equator by Mariner 10. Centered dipole solutions...

MESSENGER observations of the composition of Mercury's ionized exosphere and plasma environment.

Science. 2008 Jul 04;321(5885):90-2. doi: 10.1126/science.1159314.

The region around Mercury is filled with ions that originate from interactions of the solar wind with Mercury's space environment and through ionization of its exosphere. The MESSENGER spacecraft's observations of Mercury's ionized exosphere during its first flyby yielded...

Power-dependent switching of nonlinear trapping by local photonic potentials.

Optics letters

We study experimentally and numerically the nonlinear scattering of wave packets by local multisite guiding centers embedded in a continuous dielectric medium as a function of the input power and angle of incidence. The extent of trapping into the...

Magnetic-dipolar and electromagnetic vortices in quasi-2D ferrite discs.

Journal of physics. Condensed matter : an Institute of Physics journal

Sigalov M, Kamenetskii EO, Shavit R.

Magnetic-dipolar-mode (MDM) oscillations in a quasi-2D ferrite disc show unique dynamical symmetry properties resulting in the appearance of topologically distinct structures. Based on the magnetostatic (MS) spectral problem solutions, in this paper we give evidence for eigen-MS power-flow-density vortices...
