Comprehensive profiling of brain dynamics during anesthesia across phylogeny

Abstract The behavioral effects of anesthetics are highly conserved across species, hinting at shared and fundamental underlying mechanisms. Here we compile a dataset of multiscale neural activity during wakefulness and anesthesia, encompassing human, macaque, marmoset, mouse, ze...

Deployed quantum key distribution network: further, longer and more users

Abstract Entanglement-based quantum links are intended to become the backbone of future quantum networks, enabling secure communication between distant cities. Implementing such networks requires addressing multiple practical challenges: time synchronization, interferometric syst...

Meltwater transport and mixing-layer growth near the ice–ocean interface

Ice melting into saline water plays a fundamental role in the dynamics near the ice–ocean interface in polar oceans. The physics of meltwater transport involves a non-trivial interplay between the thermodynamics at the interface, hydrodynamic transport in the bulk and the propert...
