Examples

  • I personally think that a proper understanding of decoherence will come from active experimental studies in mesoscopic physics, but I have already mentioned that, so I won't dwell on this subject.

  • Therefore, researchers need a scalable point of view, having access to all of the microscopic, macroscopic, and mesoscopic levels of biological knowledge.

    Using the Google Maps API in Science 2009

  • The advent of quantum information devices, key roles played by quantum processes in protein dynamics, and coherent ordering in the cell cytoplasm further suggest that microtubules may function as quantum computational divides, and that mesoscopic and macroscopic quantum states are characteristic of living systems.

  • Transitions between various scales, i.e., between quantum level to mesoscopic phenomena to nanoscale level phenomena to microscopic scale levels to various classical scale levels of phenomena are often accompanied by “jumps” or avalanche effects, or other kinds of “emergent effects” that suddenly become the predominant determiners of the subsequent behavior of a system.

  • However two aspects of the problem have to be taken into account: due to the remarkable improvements in dealing with mesoscopic systems a crucial test of GRW might become feasible, and the model suggests the kind of physical processes in which a violation of the linear nature of the formalism might occur.

  • With the latest one, we seem finally to have escaped the tyrrany of the mesoscopic.

    String Theory Cribsheet Sean 2007

  • As we have discussed above, presently such tests seems not easily feasible, but an analysis of the suggested tests we have mentioned, shows that such tests are not completely out of reach as soon as some tecnological improvements in dealing with mesoscopic systems will become available.

  • Self assembly of curved mesoscopic metal polymers.

  • For the different fault breccia, we'll do a fabric analysis on a mesoscopic and microscopic scale to fully characterise them and to determine their relation with fault activity.
