Article Title: Abrupt eruptive instability of ice adhered to solid surfaces

doi: 10.1126/sciadv.adz8663

Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) Schematic of illustrating the cooling-induced ice eruptive fracture on solid substrate. ( B ) High-speed camera snapshots of the ice ejection on hydrophilic silicon wafer substrate when cooled to −122°C. ( C ) High-speed camera snapshots of the eruptive fracture of the ice and the substrate disintegration at −133°C. ( D ) The ice bound to the light-weight substrate leapt. ( E ) Evolution of calculated mechanical energy with fracture temperature for varying formation temperature of ice. Inset images display bound leap and motionless fractures at different temperatures, corresponding to ice with different formation temperature, respectively. The critical temperature T c = −93° ± 3°C is highlighted. Time τ = 0 ms in (B) to (D) denotes the onset of crack formation. The cooling rate is set as −0.5°C s −1 . Freezing water volume: 20 μl. Scale bars, 5 mm [(B) to (E)].

Article Snippet: The fracture dynamics of the ice plate was observed with a polarized microscope (LVDIA-N, Nikon) in conjunction with a high-speed camera (Phantom v7.3) and a digital camera (DS-Ri2, Nikon).

Article Title: Blink parameters are confounded by vertical eye orientation in video-based eye tracking: Comparing pupil- and eyelid-based methods

doi: 10.3758/s13428-026-02984-4

Figure Lengend Snippet: Experimental setup and eye openness estimation approach. ( A ) Recording setup: Synchronized data collection using the EyeLink 1000 Plus eye tracker for pupil-based measurements and a Basler high-speed camera (mounted on a mini tripod) for eyelid tracking. Both systems recorded simultaneously to enable comparison of blink detection methods. ( B ) Landmark detection: Example eye frame with 12 eyelid landmarks – five per eyelid and one at each canthus (inner and outer eye corners). Eye openness is the Euclidean distance between the central upper and lower eyelid landmarks (points 3 and 8; connected by the blue line), converted to millimeters via offline calibration

Article Snippet: Recordings were obtained with a Basler monochrome high-speed camera (daA1920-160um; 16-mm lens; IR pass filter) at 500 Hz with \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$1088\times 320$$\end{document} 1088 × 320 px resolution.

Article Title: Streak-Aware Localization Microscopy Enables High-Throughput Brain Imaging Across Platforms

doi: 10.64898/2026.03.04.709480

Figure Lengend Snippet: a , Scalability of SALM across optical and ultrasound modalities. b , Conventional localization microscopy mechanism requires high-speed acquisition to freeze motion for accurate tracking. c , SALM leverages motion-blurred streaks as signal carriers, eliminating the need for explicit localization and tracking via LTf-Net. d , Three illumination modes for optical-SALM embed vectorial flow information (velocity and direction) into each streak. e , Spatiotemporal graph-based simulation engine generates realistic paired datasets for network training.

Article Snippet: Optical system validation was performed using data acquired from a high-speed camera (pco.dimax S1, PCO AG, Germany).
