Lamellipodial fragments as a model system of self-organization in actin-based motility - Ofer Noa

Cell motility is a remarkable dynamic process which is crucial for many biological processes such as wound healing, fertilization and pathologic cases such as cancer metastasis. A moving cell is a self-organized mechano-chemical machine in which molecular components interact at small scales to generate forces and motion on much larger scales.

Exceptional Points in open quantum systems - Uzdin Raam

Exceptional Points (EP) are specific coardinates in the parameter space of the system in which the Hamiltonian can not be diagonalized. This defect gives rise to a topological effect.

"Random lasing" and mode density in Fibonacci dielectric structures - Levy Eli

We have studied numerically spectral features of 1D dielectric stacks such as transmission spectrum, density of modes and the intensity of the electric field. The calculations have been performed using equivalently the transfer and the scattering matrix.

Self Similar Modes of Coherent Diffusion

O. Firstenberg,^A  D. Yankelev,^A  P. London,^A  M. Shuker,^A  R. Pugatch,^B  and N. Davidson^B

When a resonant light pulse propagates slowly through a vapor medium of hot diffusing atoms, the electromagnetic field exhibits diffusion, in addition to the regular free-space diffraction [1]. The extent of the diffusion depends on the degree of atomic excitation, which is maximal when storage of light is performed. For the latter, the evolution of the atomic coherence is described by the coherent diffusion equation  where ψ is a complex scalar.

2D Superconductivity in LSCO Single Crystals 

Gil Drachuck

We report direction dependent magnetization measurements in LSCO single crystals. The crystals were grown using traveling solvent floating zone method and where cut into rectangular needle-like shapes with the "c" direction parallel or perpendicular to the needle symmetry axis.
