Impact damage reduction of woven composites subject to pulse current

In this work, the authors demonstrate that pulse current can effectively be used to reduce delamination damage and residual deformation in 3D orthogonal woven composites, enhancing mechanical properties and damage tolerance.

Consistent population declines but idiosyncratic range shifts in Alpine orchids under global change

Many mountain species are threatened by climate change and habitat loss. Here, the authors investigate population declines and range shifts of orchids in an alpine region in NE Italy over 28 years. For most species, population size decreased, while range shifts were idiosyncratic with over half of the species lagging behind climate change.

Video-rate multi-color structured illumination microscopy with simultaneous real-time reconstruction

Sequential acquisition and image reconstruction in super-resolved structured illumination microscopy (SR-SIM) is time-consuming. Here the authors optimise both acquisition and reconstruction software to achieve multicolour SR-SIM at video frame-rates with reconstructed images displaying with only milliseconds delay during the experiment.

Resolving photon number states in a superconducting circuit

A special version of a cavity quantum electrodynamics system, namely one that is embedded within an electronic circuit has been constructed. A superconducting quantum bit interacts with photons from a microwave transmission line. A novel regime can be obtained with this system, namely the strong dispersive limit, where a single photon has a large effect on the qubit without ever being absorbed.

When and how convolutional neural networks generalize to out-of-distribution category–viewpoint combinations

The combination of object recognition and viewpoint estimation is essential for visual understanding. However, convolutional neural networks often fail to generalize to object category–viewpoint combinations that were not seen during training. The authors investigate the impact of data diversity and architectural choices on the capability of generalizing to out-of-distribution combinations.
