Spin-bearing molecules as optically addressable platforms for quantum technologies by Kuppusamy Senthil Kumar, Hunger David, Ruben Mario, Goldner Philippe, Serrano Diana

“…The search for novel material platforms that could spur the progress by providing new functionalities for solving the outstanding technological problems is however still active. Any physical property presenting two distinct energy states that can be found in a long-lived superposition state can serve as a quantum bit (qubit), the basic information processing unit in quantum technologies. …”

Trajectory inference from single-cell genomics data with a process time model. by Meichen Fang, Gennady Gorin, Lior Pachter

“…However, while single-cell snapshots sometimes offer valuable insights into dynamic processes, current methods for ordering cells are limited by descriptive notions of "pseudotime" that lack intrinsic physical meaning. Instead of pseudotime, we propose inference of "process time" via a principled modeling approach to formulating trajectories and inferring latent variables corresponding to timing of cells subject to a biophysical process. …”

Stagnation Point Flow of CoFe2O4/TiO2-H2O-Casson Nanofluid past a Slippery Stretching/Shrinking Cylindrical Surface in a Darcy–Forchheimer Porous Medium by Kifle Adula Duguma, Oluwole Daniel Makinde, Lemi Guta Enyadene

“…For shrinking cylindrical surface, the model exhibits nonunique dual solutions for a defined range of parameter values, and a temporal stability analysis is conducted to ascertain the stable and physically achievable solution. The effects of emerging thermophysical parameters on the overall flow structure and thermal management such as velocity and temperature profiles, skin friction, and Nusselt number are quantitatively discussed through graphs and in tabular form. …”

Do Not Miss the Tumor: A Novel Presentation of Osteosarcoma by Michael DePalma, Sachin Gupta, Jie Nguyen, Divya Talwar, Alexandre Arkader, Lawrence Wells

“…Additionally, we believe these clinicians should have a low threshold to refer patients to orthopedists or oncologic specialists in the cases of persistent pain or inconsistencies with history, physical exam, and diagnostic studies. Finally, direct communication and discussion between radiologists and referring clinicians helps decrease delays in diagnosing of osteosarcoma and other life-threatening conditions.…”
