Single vesicle analysis reveals nanoscale membrane curvature selective pore formation in lipid membranes by an antiviral α-helical peptide by Zhdanov, Vladimir P., Tabaei, Seyed R., Rabe, Michael, Cho, Nam-Joon, Höök, Fredrik

“…Using tethered sub-100 nm lipid vesicles that mimic enveloped viruses with nanoscale membrane curvature, we have in this work designed a total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy-based single vesicle assay to investigate how an antiviral amphipathic α-helical (AH) peptide interacts with lipid membranes to induce membrane curvature-dependent pore formation and membrane destabilization. …”

Thermo-mechanical characterization of polyimide thin film using bulge test by Mehul Mukund Vora

“…The material is also tested with alternative testing methods (TGA, TMA, wafer curvature and microtensile). The results from the alternate methods are used in conjunction to confirm the findings of bulge test as well as to prove its validity as a viscoelastic characterization tool. …”

Nanotopographic carbon nanotube thin-film substrate freezes lateral motion of secretory vesicles by Zhang, Jing, Fu, Dongliang, Li, Lain-Jong, Chen, Peng, Chan-Park, Mary B.

“…Interestingly, as revealed by total-internal-reflection fluorescence microscopy, the nanoroughness created by the carbon-nanotube net physically deforms the 5 nm thick cell membrane with high local curvature, and significantly impedes the lateral motion of subplasmalemmal secretory vesicles.…”

Second harmonic generation in the Weyl semimetal TaAs from a quantum kinetic equation by Li, Zhi, Jin, Ya-Qin, Tohyama, Takami, Iitaka, Toshiaki, Zhang, Jiu-Xing, Su, Haibin

“…We classify the sources of second harmonic generation (SHG) of the Weyl semimetal TaAs by collisionless quantum kinetic equation into three kinds: i.e., injection current from the canonical band dispersion, shift current from a gauge invariant shift vector, and anomalous current from Berry curvature associated with the Fermi surface. Importantly, by using the realistic band model for TaAs, we predict that the SHG in TaAs is predominately contributed by the shift current, while the anomalous current has a minute contribution when the Weyl point is exactly located on the Fermi surface. …”

Direct inkjet-patterning of energy efficient flexible electrochromics by Cai, Guofa, Cheng, Xing, Layani, Michael, Tan, Alvin Wei Ming, Li, Shaohui, Eh, Alice Lee-Sie, Gao, Dace, Magdassi, Shlomo, Lee, Pooi See

“…The film maintained a transmittance modulation of 85.8% of its original contrast after 5000 bending cycles at a curvature radius of 1 cm. The inkjet-printed WO3 nanocomposite based flexible electrochromic displays exhibited excellent electrochromic performance, making it a promising candidate for energy efficient displays, e-books, e-cards and multifunctional electronic devices.…”
