Membrane topography variations cause apparent protein clustering
Apparent clustering of membrane proteins occurs upon failing to account for membrane topography variations. This we demonstrate and present a remedy for. Our data suggest that the high incidence of clustering reported misrepresents biology of consequence for our conceptional understanding.
Nanofluidic Sensing
The unique nanoconfined water often leads to the discovery of unexpected phenomena. Here, we report an electrically controlled two-dimensional channels with cation intercalated for nanofluidic sensing, which opens a door for the field of sensing.
TPE-Embedded Butterfly Bis-Crown Ether with Controllable Conformation and Supramolecular Chiroptical Property
A series of bis-crown ethers with AIE-active TPE core are synthesized via intramolecular McMurry coupling. The incorporation of flexible side chains into the rigid TPE core results in specific strain on the molecules, generating two conformers with specific semi-rigid symmetric/asymmetric structures
Behind the Paper: Unraveling the Magnetic Mysteries of Na₂Co₂TeO₆
The journey to understanding the magnetic properties of Na₂Co₂TeO₆ (NCTO) began with a fundamental question: Can this material reveal the elusive quantum spin-liquid (QSL) state predicted by the Kitaev model? Our article provides the answer.
Lighting the Path to Definitive Thyroid Cancer Detection
A cross-Atlantic collaboration between the University of Massachusetts Lowell (USA) and the Zurich University of Applied Sciences (Switzerland) combined expertise in optics and AI, to implement a rapid thyroid cancer diagnosis based on fluorescence polarization imaging and deep learning.
