Decoherence is the process by which a quantum system interacts with its environment and evolves into an arbitrary state, often irreversible nonunitary evolution. This is a major setback for quantum information processing ...

The phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) and mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathways play a pivotal role in the growth and survival of various cancers. PI103, a small molecule inhibitor targeting PI3K/AKT/mTOR ...

Single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) have potential application in fabrication of nanodevices and sensors. SWNTs are mostly studied as dispersed colloidal solution in non-aqueous solvents like DMF, due to ease ...

Mitochondria are energy-generating organelles of the cells – they produce most of the ATP required for various cellular processes. They also have dynamic morphology, and can under fusion and fission, generating structures ...

In this study, mechanical response features of neuronal cells subjected to tension are characterized using a home­built force apparatus. We find that axons, when subjected to increasing stress in a stepwise fashion, sh ...

The Falicov-Kimball model is the simplest model of correlated electrons which shows long range order. The Falicov-Kimball model is exactly solvable in the limit of in finite dimensions through the use of Dynamical Mean ...

In materials where both absorption and scattering are present, measurement of absorption becomes difficult since it is not possible to decouple absorption from scattering using standard absorption spectroscopy techniques. ...
