A signal-processing method is proposed in the fully interferometric three-dimensional (3D) imaging spectrometry. This processing computes a 3D interferogram, in which recorded fringe patterns do not directly reflect wavefront forms propagated from a polychromatic light source under measurement. This paper presents a procedure for signal processing including a synthesis of the 3D interferogram a...

We demonstrate how the resolution and imaging depth limitations of nonlinear optical microscopy can be overcome by modulating the spatial overlap between two-color pulses. We suppress out-of-focus signals, which limit the imaging depth, by a factor of 100, and enhance the lateral and axial resolution by factors of 1.6 and 1.4-1.8 respectively. Using spatial overlap modulation, we demonstrate ba...

The ability to create architected materials that possess both high stiffness and toughness remains an elusive goal, since these properties are often mutually exclusive. Natural materials, such as bone, overcome such limitations by combining different toughening mechanisms across multiple length scales. Here, a new method for creating architected lattices composed of core-shell struts that are b...

3D printing is expected to revolutionize health care through uses in tissue and organ fabrication; creation of customized prosthetics, implants, and anatomical models; and pharmaceutical research regarding drug dosage forms, delivery, and discovery.

Our face is our password—face recognition promises to revolutionize the way we identify individuals in a nonintrusive and convenient manner. Even though research in face recognition has spanned over nearly three decades, only 2D systems, with limited adoption to practical applications, have been developed so far. The primary reason behind this is the low accuracy of 2D face recognition systems ...

The display of three dimensional geological body can visually describe the complex subsurface geological structure, effectively improve the engineer's space imagination and intuitively understand the geological spatial relationship. Through analysis of commonly used three dimensional geological data model and considered the impact of faults. The paper establishes a generalized triangular prism ...

The three-dimensional (3D) structure of the hyperthermophilic esterase EstE1 was constructed by homology modeling using Archaeoglobus fulgidus esterase as a reference, and the thermostability-structure relationship was analyzed. Our results verified the predicted 3D structure of EstE1 and identified the ion pair networks and hydrophobic interactions that are critical determinants for the thermo...
