Microscopic dynamics underlying the stress relaxation of arrested soft materials by Song, Jake, Zhang, Qingteng, de Quesada, Felipe, Rizvi, Mehedi H., Tracy, Joseph B., Ilavsky, Jan, Narayanan, Suresh, Del Gado, Emanuela, Leheny, Robert L., Holten-Andersen, Niels, McKinley, Gareth H.

“…We also show that perturbing the system via small mechanical deformations can result in large intermittent fluctuations in the form of avalanches, which give rise to a broad non-Gaussian spectrum of relaxation modes at short times that is observed in stress relaxation measurements. These findings suggest that the linear viscoelastic stress relaxation in arrested soft materials may be governed by nonlinear phenomena involving an interplay of internal stress relaxations and perturbation-induced intermittent avalanches.…”

Chromatin laser imaging reveals abnormal nuclear changes for early cancer detection by Chen, Yu-Cheng, Chen, Qiushu, Tan, Xiaotain, Chen, Grace, Bergin, Ingrid, Muhammad Nadeem Aslam, Fan, Xudong

“…The low lasing threshold is, in fact, very similar to that of adenomas and is caused by abnormal cell proliferation and chromatin deregulation that can potentially lead to cancer. Our findings suggest that conventional detection methods, such as colonoscopy followed by histopathology, by itself, may be insufficient to reveal hidden or early tumors under development. …”
