Cell fusion induced by scrapie and Creutzfeldt-Jakob virus-infected brain preparations.

abstract：:Vibrational modes in mechanical resonators provide a promising candidate to interface and manipulate classical and quantum information. The observation of coherent dynamics between distant mechanical resonators can be a key step toward scalable phonon-based applications. Here we report tunable coherent phonon dynamics...
