We investigated how fission yeast modify endocytosis and exocytosis by testing a high-throughput assay to measure the rate of exocytosis and endocytosis in live cells. The methodology produced consistent rates for exocytosis and endocytosis on short timescales, ~0-15 minutes. Future results could have important implications for other eukaryotes including humans.

We studied how flow can be transferred between two adjacent ring-shaped gaseous Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs). Flow was induced in one BEC and a barrier was raised producing a density depression between the BECs under differing conditions. We then detected whether the flow was transferred to the other condensate.
