Self-Assembly of a Biologically Plausible Learning Circuit by Liao, Qianli, Ziyin, Liu, Gan, Yulu, Cheung, Brian, Harnett, Mark, Poggio, Tomaso

“…Though several alternatives have been discussed, none is so far supported by experimental evidence. Here we propose a circuit for updating the weights in a network that is biologically plausible, works as well as backpropagation, and leads to verifiable predictions about the anatomy and the physiology of a characteristic motif of four plastic synapses between ascending and descending cortical streams. …”

Modifying the Molecular Structure of Carbon Nanotubes through Gas-Phase Reactants by Giannetto, Michael J., Johnson, Eric P., Watson, Adam, Dimitrov, Edgar, Kurth, Andrew, Shi, Wenbo, Fornasiero, Francesco, Meshot, Eric R., Plata, Desiree L.

“…Some of this limitation stems from a lack of understanding of the chemical bond-building mechanisms at play in CNT growth. Here, we provide experimental evidence that supports an alkyne polymerization pathway in which short-chained alkynes directly incorporate into the CNT lattice during growth, partially retaining their side groups and influencing CNT morphology. …”

Investigating the neural mechanisms of recreational role-playing associated with the reduction of subclinical anxiety by Wong, Jason Kang Chiang

“…However, no significant neural correlates of anxiety were observed, nor any significant differences in neural activity among different experimental conditions. This study provides promising preliminary evidence on the benefits of recreational role-play on subclinical anxiety, and insights into the less-researched field of the neurological mechanisms behind role-play.…”

“…Research has reported the lack of evidence on the impact of the medium of instruction on students’ content learning outcomes. …”

Homogenous Metamaterial Description of Localized Spoof Plasmons in Spiral Geometries by Liao, Zhen, Fernández-Domínguez, Antonio I., Zhang, Jingjing, Maier, Stefan A., Cui, Tie Jun, Luo, Yu

“…The theory also allows us to elucidate the contribution of magnetic and electric localized spoof plasmons to the optical response of these metamaterial devices. Finally, experimental evidence of the existence of these modes in extremely thin textured copper disks is also presented.…”

Ionic structure, liquid-liquid phase transitions, x-ray diffraction, and x-ray Thomson scattering in shock-compressed liquid silicon in the 100-200 GPa regime by Dharma-wardana, MWC, Klug, DD, Poole, H, Gregori, G

“…We present first-principles calculations in this P, T, ρ¯ regime to reveal a plethora of novel liquid-liquid phase transitions (LPTs) identifiable via discontinuities in the pressure and the compressibility. Evidence for the presence of a highly-correlated liquid (CL) phase, as well as a normal-liquid (NL) phase at the LPTs is presented by a detailed study of one LPT. …”
