Window Size Matters: Benchmarking Voice Activity Detectors in Noise

Alok Kumar, Mohit Srivastava, Anupam Purwar +4

Voice activity detection (VAD) sits in front of almost every streaming speech recognizer, yet the choice of detector is often made by feel rather than by measurement. We report a f…

Coexistence of trapped and flow-transported nuclei enables fast pigeon post communication across multinucleated cell

Johnny Tong, Kaspar Wachinger, Fabian K. Henn +3

Multi-nucleated cells exist in all domains of life, ranging from animals, plants and fungi to single-celled organisms such as the slime mold Physarum polycephalum. The large cell s…

Cage Breaking Far from Equilibrium

Jared Popowski, Nico Schramma, Edan Lerner +1

Active matter can flow and yield under conditions where passive matter jams and slows down, as self-propulsion significantly modulates particle escape from local cages. How activit…

Optimal disk packing of chloroplasts in plant cells

Nico Schramma, Eric R. Weeks, Maziyar Jalaal

Photosynthesis is vital for the survival of entire ecosystems on Earth. While light is fundamental to this process, excessive exposure can be detrimental to plant cells. Chloroplas…

ActiveCheerios: 3D-Printed Marangoni-Driven Active Particles at an Interface

Jackson K. Wilt, Nico Schramma, Jan-Willem Bottermans +1

Marangoni surfers are simple, cost-effective tabletop experiments that, despite their simplicity, exhibit rich dynamics and collective behaviors driven by physicochemical mechanism…

Morphodynamics of chloroplast network control light-avoidance response in the non-motile dinoflagellate Pyrocystis lunula

Nico Schramma, Gloria Casas Canales, Maziyar Jalaal

Photosynthetic algae play a significant role in oceanic carbon capture. Their performance, however, is constantly challenged by fluctuations in environmental light conditions. Here…

Billiards with Spatial Memory

Thijs Albers, Stijn Delnoij, Nico Schramma +1

Many classes of active matter develop spatial memory by encoding information in space, leading to complex pattern formation. It has been proposed that spatial memory can lead to mo…

Chloroplasts in plant cells show active glassy behavior under low light conditions

Nico Schramma, Cintia Perugachi Israëls, Maziyar Jalaal

Plants have developed intricate mechanisms to adapt to changing light conditions. Besides photo- and helio- tropism -- the differential growth towards light and the diurnal motion…

Stress-Induced Dinoflagellate Bioluminescence at the Single Cell Level

Maziyar Jalaal, Nico Schramma, Antoine Dode +3

One of the characteristic features of many marine dinoflagellates is their bioluminescence, which lights up nighttime breaking waves or seawater sliced by a ship's prow. While the…
