Motion-sensitive phase contrast magnetic resonance imaging and magnetic resonance elastography are applied for the measurement of volumetric strain and tissue compressibility in human brain. Volumetric strain calculated by the divergence operator using a biphasic effective-medium model is related to dilatation and compression of fluid spaces during harmonic stimulation of the head or during int...

The generation of high-order harmonics1 and attosecond pulses2 at ultrahigh repetition rates (>1 MHz) promises to revolutionize ultrafast spectroscopy. Such vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) and soft X-ray sources could potentially be driven directly by plasmonic enhancement of laser pulses from a femtosecond oscillator3,4, but recent experiments suggest that the VUV signal is actually dominated by inco...
