Biased Brownian motion as a mechanism to facilitate nanometer-scale exploration of the microtubule plus end by a kinesin-8 by Shin, Yongdae, Du, Yaqing, Collier, Scott E., Ohi, Melanie D., Lang, Matthew J., Ohi, Ryoma

“…Kif18B, an understudied human kinesin-8, also limits MT growth during mitosis. In contrast to Kif18A and Kip3, localization of Kif18B to plus ends relies on binding to the plus-end tracking protein EB1, making the relationship between its potential plus-end–directed motility and plus-end accumulation unclear. …”

The capital intensity of photovoltaics manufacturing: barrier to scale and opportunity for innovation by Powell, Douglas M., Fu, Ran, Horowitz, Kelsey, Basore, Paul A., Woodhouse, Michael, Buonassisi, Tonio

“…Second, a combination of high capex and low margins leads to a poor financial rate of return, which limits the growth rate of PV module manufacturing capacity. …”

Absolute/convective secondary instabilities and the role of confinement in free shear layers by Arratia, Cristóbal, Mowlavi, Saviz, Gallaire, François

“…These rows of vortices serve to model the secondary instability leading to the merging of consecutive (Kelvin-Helmholtz) vortices in free shear layers, allowing us to study how confinement limits the growth of shear layers through vortex pairings. …”
