Magnetic flux lines in type-II superconductors and the 'hairy ball' theorem

The magnetic flux lines in a superconductor present intricate patterns, whose origins are seldom understood. Here the authors link them to geometrical effects by means of the 'hairy ball' theorem, which states that for a vector field on a sphere there will always be at least one singularity.

Ball-and-chain inactivation of a human large conductance calcium-activated potassium channel

The accessory β2 subunit was proposed to inactivate BK channels via the ball-and-chain model, but structural evidence was missing. Here, using cryo-EM, the authors captured the occlusion of the BK channel pore by the N-terminus of the β2 subunit.

Insertion compounds and composites made by ball milling for advanced sodium-ion batteries

New sodium-ion battery technology requires better control over solid electrolyte interface formation. Here, the authors report a series of ball-milled sodium alloys and enriched insertion electrodes, which act as sodium reservoirs compensating for sodium loss during solid electrolyte interface formation.

The use of anvils that incorporate a second stage consisting of two hemispherical nanocrystalline diamond micro-balls, extends the range of static pressures that can be generated in the lab.

Two-photon calcium imaging from head-fixed Drosophila during optomotor walking behavior

This technique allows functional imaging of neurons in head-fixed Drosophila while the fly walks on an air-supported ball. Using a genetically encoded calcium sensor, the activity of motion-sensitive neurons in the fly optic lobe was recorded while the flies were presented with visual stimuli. Activity in these cells correlated with robust optomotor behavior in the walking flies.
