Abstract

Targeted metal ions can be harnessed from brines by feeding a mixed, aqueous, brine stream including the targeted metal ions and other dissolved ions through a water-recovery module on a first side of a first membrane. In the water-recovery module, water is passed from a monovalent-ion-rich stream on a second side of the first membrane through the first membrane into the mixed, aqueous, brine stream on the first side of the first membrane to produce a diluted, mixed, aqueous, brine stream. The diluted, mixed, aqueous, brine stream is then passed through a valency-selective ion-separation module to produce the monovalent-rich stream, and a multivalent-ion-rich stream, one of which includes a concentration of the targeted metal ions.

Abstract

This disclosure provides compositions and methods for treating subjects having cancer. It is based, in part, on an improved ability to modulate and orchestrate the activity of different cytokines, and thereby mount an effective immune response at a primary tumor site (i.e., a primary site of injection, that may also be but need not be the primary site of cancer development in the subject) but also at distal tumor sites (i.e., metastatic lesions). Provided herein are methods that employ localized administration regimens for cytokine fusion proteins that target the universal leukocyte receptor CD45. The cytokine fusion proteins comprise the cytokine of interest, namely IL-12 or IL-15, fused to a CD45-specific binding moiety. The Examples demonstrate that such immunocytokine fusions can be used to achieve a highly efficacious and non-toxic cytokine therapy that elicits complete responses at injected lesions as well as distal un-injected lesions.

Abstract

A time varying laser which can operate by taking advantage of transitions between time varying quasi-energy levels which are present in the driven system is disclosed. This can allow for laser operation at frequencies which are new, compared to the operation of the laser in absence of time-modulation. It can also allow for a novel mode of operation in which the system provides gain at multiple frequencies simultaneously, in a coherent fashion which is fundamentally different from multi-mode behavior in conventional lasers. Additionally, in systems with sufficiently strong modulation, these principles can lead to lasers which produce gain even in the thermodynamic ground state of the system, leading to a new form of lasing without inversion (LWI). In addition, these techniques have the potential to be used to create lasers at high frequencies (UV-Xray) which have been difficult to achieve via conventional laser mechanisms.

Abstract

The exponential growth in deep learning models is challenging existing computing hardware. Optical neural networks (ONNs) accelerate machine learning tasks with potentially ultrahigh bandwidth and nearly no loss in data movement. Scaling up ONNs involves improving scalability, energy efficiency, compute density, and inline nonlinearity. However, realizing all these criteria remains an unsolved challenge. Here, we demonstrate a three-dimensional spatial time-multiplexed ONN architecture based on dense arrays of microscale vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs). The VCSELs, coherently injection-locked to a leader laser, operate at gigahertz data rates with a 7T-phase-shift voltage on the 10-millivolt level.

Abstract

An apparatus and method produce, from a Gaussian laser pulse, a sequence of laser rings having a spatiotemporal configuration such that impingement of the laser rings on a surface of a nuclear material in a target assembly produces constructively interfering shock waves that converge on a focal region of the nuclear material, thereby producing sufficient pressures and temperatures to form tritium in the focal region. The temporal and/or spatial intervals between the concentric pulsed laser rings are adjusted to substantially match propagation times of impingement from one ring to the next in a shock propagation layer of the target assembly. A second laser or neutron tube may be used to create a cavitation bubble at the focus. In addition to the shock waves generated in the plane of the surface, through-plane shock waves can be generated to increase the overall shock pressure.

Self-Configuration and Error Correction in Linear Photonic Circuits

Abstract

Component errors prevent linear photonic circuits from being scaled to large sizes. These errors can be compensated by programming the components in an order corresponding to nulling operations on a target matrix X through Givens rotations X→T†X, X→XT†. Nulling is implemented on hardware through measurements with feedback, in a way that builds up the target matrix even in the presence of hardware errors. This programming works with unknown errors and without internal sources or detectors in the circuit. Modifying the photonic circuit architecture can reduce the effect of errors still further, in some cases even rendering the hardware asymptotically perfect in the large-size limit. These modifications include adding a third directional coupler or crossing after each Mach-Zehnder interferometer in the circuit and a photonic implementation of the generalized FFT fractal. The configured photonic circuit can be used for machine learning, quantum photonics, prototyping, optical switching/multicast networks, microwave photonics, or signal processing.

Abstract

An adhesive material that provides fast and robust adhesion on wet surfaces, where the adhesion formed is detachable on-demand. The adhesive material is formed of one or more hydrophilic polymers or copolymers grafted with one or more amine coupling groups via a plurality of cleavable physical bonds and/or cleavable covalent bonds and one or more cross linkers. Application of the adhesive material on a wet surface causes the adhesive material to absorb liquid to thereby swell the adhesive material to form a layer of hydrogel, resulting in the formation of temporary crosslinks followed by covalent crosslinks with the surface. Introducing a triggering agent cleaves the cleavable physical bonds and/or cleavable covalent bonds to allow for non-traumatic detachment of the adhesive material from the surface.

Abstract

Femto-satellites are very small satellites that can be deployed in constellations from a larger mothership satellite for distributed measurement. They are too small to accommodate the GNSS receivers that many satellites use for navigation, but they can be located with an electromagnetic beam from the mothership satellite. The mothership satellite scans this beam across a constellation of femto-satellites. When the beam scans across a particular femto-satellite, the femto-satellite transmits an acknowledgement to the mothership satellite, e.g., by retroreflecting the beam or via a separate radio link. The beam can be modulated with commands for the femto-satellite, such as to make a measurement or transmit previously acquired data, as well with commands for determining the femto-satellite's location, such as a time stamp or beam pointing information. The femto-satellite can determine its location from the information modulated onto the beam or transmit the time stamp to the mothership satellite for localization.

Abstract

A method for autonomously assembling a plurality of tiles is performed in a microgravity environment. Each tile includes a shell having a first geometrical shape and an arrangement of first magnets and a controller that are supported by the shell. The controller controls operation of the arrangement of first magnets to self-assemble the shell with another tile. The first magnets are controlled to mate with a complementary arrangement of second magnets on the other tile when the complementary arrangement of second magnets floats to within a range of magnetic attractive force of the arrangement of first magnets, with or without the aid of propulsion. The controllers in the tiles detect the status of the magnetic bonds to determine whether each pair of tiles is properly bonded or has a magnetic bond error. When an error is detected, the tiles are controlled to disassemble and reassemble to correct the error.

Abstract

Provided herein are lipid compounds of Formulae (I) and (II), and pharmaceutically acceptable salts, co-crystals, tautomers, stereoisomers, solvates, hydrates, polymorphs, isotopically labeled derivatives, prodrugs, and compositions thereof. Also provided are methods and kits involving the inventive lipid compounds, compositions, or formulations for treating and/or preventing diseases (e.g., genetic disease, proliferative disease, hematological disease, neurological disease, painful condition, psychiatric disorder, metabolic disorder, long-term medical condition, inflammatory disease, autoinflammatory disease, liver disease, lung disease, spleen disease, familial amyloid neuropathy, cardiovascular disease, viral infection, infectious disease, fibrotic condition, or autoimmune disease) in a subject, methods for synthesizing the compounds described herein, and compounds described herein synthesized by the synthetic methods described herein. The compounds are effective carriers for the delivery of an agent such as a polynucleotide (e.g., RNA) to a tissue or cell in a subject (e.g., a liver, lung, or spleen tissue/cell).
