Bacteria-triggered release of antimicrobial agents by Komnatnyy, Vitaly V., Chiang, Wen-Chi, Tolker-Nielsen, Tim, Givskov, Michael, Nielsen, Thomas E.

“…Proof-of-concept of the responsive material is demonstrated by the bacteria-triggered release of antibiotics to control bacterial populations and signaling molecules to modulate quorum sensing. The self-regulating system provides the basis for the development of device-relevant polymeric materials, which only release antibiotics in dependency of the titer of bacteria surrounding the medical device.…”

Dihydropyrrolones as bacterial quorum sensing inhibitors by Almohaywi, Basmah, Yu, Tsz Tin, Iskander, George, Chan, Daniel S. H., Ho, Kitty K. K., Rice, Scott A., Black, David StC., Griffith, Renate, Kumar, Naresh

“…Bacteria regulate their pathogenicity and biofilm formation through quorum sensing (QS), which is an intercellular communication system mediated by the binding of signaling molecules to QS receptors such as LasR. In this study, a range of dihydropyrrolone (DHP) analogues were synthesized via the lactone-lactam conversion of lactone intermediates. …”

Atomic test of higher-order interference by Lee, Kai Sheng, Zhuo, Zhao, Couteau, Christophe, Wilkowski, David, Paterek, Tomasz

“…This has been linked to the validity of Born's rule and verified in precise experiments with photons, nuclear spins, nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond, and large molecules. Due to the expected universal validity of Born's rule, it is instructive to conduct similar tests with yet other physical systems. …”

Photoinduced radical emission in a coassembly system by Li, Yiran, Baryshnikov, Glib V., Xu, Chenggang, Ågren, Hans, Zhu, Liangliang, Yi, Tao, Zhao, Yanli, Wu, Hongwei

“…In the present work, we overcome this challenge by coassembling a series of tricarbonyl-substituted benzene molecules with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). The strong hydrogen bonds between the guest dopants and the PVA host matrix protect the free radicals of carbonyl compounds after light irradiation, leading to strong solid state free radical emission. …”
