These striking swirl-flip transitions are characterized by two distinct timescales the time period for a swirl (rotation) and the time between flipping events. We interpret these reversals as relaxation oscillation events driven by accumulation of torsional energy. Each cycle is initiated by a fast jump in torsional deformation with a subsequent…[Read more]

Mitochondria are crucial for the production of primary and secondary metabolites, which largely determine the quality of fruit. However, a method for isolating high-quality mitochondria is currently not available in citrus fruit, preventing high-throughput characterization of mitochondrial functions. Here, based on differential and discontinuous…[Read more]
