CUT-OUT EVENTS. "Design and demonstration of temporal cloaks with and without the time gap (2013). The cloaks are constructed with two linear time-invariant filters with different transfer functions, which can create a temporal gap and then closed it orderly, making any events occurring during the gap not detectable outside. We further reveal that even a no-gap temporal cloak can also hide events." https://lnkd.in/ei8rq6w View in LinkedIn

BUBBLEVERSE. "The implications of spacetime transformation devices: (1) their (usually) directional nature; (2) spacetime distortions (as opposed to cloaks); (3) how leaky cloaks manifest themselves; (4) spacetime modeling and causality editors; (5) a time-dependent ‘bubbleverse’." https://lnkd.in/ebGgmMe View in LinkedIn

JUST THE BEGINNING. "Other ideas beyond that of the “space as time” also exist. we have suggested the construction of dynamic and/or expanding fisheye-based “bubbleverses” embedded in a background spacetime." https://lnkd.in/eGZbXRV View in LinkedIn

ILLUSION CLOAKS. "They’ve even designed illusion cloaks that can make one object look like another." https://lnkd.in/eVgKzAT View in LinkedIn

MIRAGE. "Just when you thought invisibility cloaks couldn’t get any weirder, researchers come up with this: a way to make one object look like any other. Now Che Chan and pals from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology say that metamaterials could be used for an even more exotic effect: for cloaks that create the illusion that a different object is present." https://lnkd.in/exKwCuQ View in LinkedIn

FRAGMENT IN NATURE for the next two weekends covers a fascinating, multifunctional molecule that exists in many kingdoms, namely, TRPA1. This molecule belongs to a large structurally-related family which has a phenomenally diverse set of biological functions, and an equally large number of activators. This is a case study of biochemical nuances expressed in diverse physiological responses. View in LinkedIn

"THERMAL PERCEPTION is a fundamental physiological process pertaining to the vast majority of organisms. In vertebrates, environmental temperature is detected by the primary afferents of the somatosensory neurons in the skin, which express a ‘choir’ of ion channels tuned to detect particular temperatures." https://lnkd.in/eFfEp_R View in LinkedIn

VERTEBRATE TEMPERATURE DETECTION. "Several major classes of ion channels contribute to this process: (i) receptor channels, which detect temperature changes and depolarize neurons via a non-selective cation influx;" https://lnkd.in/eFfEp_R View in LinkedIn

VERTEBRATE TEMPERATURE DETECTION. "Several major classes of ion channels contribute to this process: (ii) voltage-gated sodium and potassium channels, which open in response to receptor-mediated depolarization and propagate action potentials;" https://lnkd.in/eFfEp_R View in LinkedIn
