A PRL Editor-in-Chief Note about the length of submitted articles: "In an effort to streamline the calculation of length, the APS journals will no longer use the printed page as the determining factor for length. Instead the journals will now use word counts (or word equivalents for tables, ?gures, and equations) to establish length; for details please see http://publish.aps.org/authors/length-guide. The title, byline, ab [more]

NNL cutting-edge article on Nature Photonics by Daniele Sanvitto  

NNL - 13.09.2011 - NNL cutting-edge article on Nature Photonics by Daniele Sanvitto
All-optical control of the quantum flow of a polariton condensate Although photons in vacuum are massless particles that do not appreciably interact with each other, significant interactions appear in suitable nonlinear media, leading to hydrodynamic behaviours typical of quantum fluids. Here, we show the generation and manipulation of vortex–antivortex pairs in a coherent gas of strongly dressed photons (polaritons) flowing against an artificial potential barrier created and controlled [more]

"The short-time structural plasticity of dendritic spines is altered in a model of Rett syndrome", S. Landi, E. Putignano, E. M. Boggio, M. Giustetto, T. Pizzorusso, and G. M. Ratto, Scientific Reports 1, 45 doi:10.1038/srep00045
The maturation of excitatory transmission comes about through a developmental period in which dendritic spines are highly motile and their number, form and size are rapidly changing. Surprisingly, although these processes are crucial for the formation of cortical [more]
