Chmielewski, Anders Kyrsting, Pierre Mahou et al.     Light-sheet microscopy is an increasingly popular technique in the life sciences due to its fast 3D imaging capability of fluorescent samples with low photo toxicity compared to …             Plutonium concentration and isotopic ratio in soil samples from central-eastern Japan collected around the 1970s ▶     Guosheng Yang, Jian Zheng, Keiko Tagami et al.     Obtaining Pu background data in the environment is essential for contamination source identification and assessment of environmental impact of Pu released from the Fukushima …             Electric discharge during electrosurgery ▶     Alexey Shashurin, David Scott, Taisen Zhuang et al.     Electric discharge utilized for electrosurgery is studied by means of a recently developed method for the diagnostics of small-size atmospheric plasma objects based on Rayleigh …             Psychomotor Impairment Detection via Finger Interactions with a Computer Keyboard During Natural Typing ▶     L. Giancardo, A. Sánchez-Ferro, I. Butterworth et al.     Modern digital devices and appliances are capable of monitoring the timing of button presses, or finger interactions in general, with a sub-millisecond accuracy. However, the …             Single photon detector with high polarization sensitivity ▶     Qi Guo, Hao Li, LiXing You et al.     Polarization is one of the key parameters of light. Most optical detectors are intensity detectors that are insensitive to the polarization of light. A superconducting nanowire …             Thermal degradation of sucralose: a combination of analytical methods to determine stability and chlorinated byproducts ▶     Diogo N. de Oliveira, Maico de Menezes, Rodrigo R. Catharino     In the late years, much attention has been brought to the scientific community regarding the safety of sucralose and its industrial applications. Although it is the most used …             Enhanced Magnetic Properties in Antiferromagnetic-Core/Ferrimagnetic-Shell Nanoparticles ▶     Marianna Vasilakaki, Kalliopi N.
