A U⋅U pair-to-U.C pair mutation-induced RNA native structure destabilisation and stretching-force-induced RNA misfolding by Zhong, Zhensheng, Soh, Lai Huat, Lim, Ming Hui, Chen, Gang

“…The ensemble thermal melting of the hairpins shows an on-pathway intermediate with the disruption of the internal loop structure containing the U⋅U/U⋅C pairs. By using optical tweezers, we applied a stretching force on the terminal ends of the hairpins to probe directly the non-nearest-neighbour effects upon the mutations. …”

Symmetry-protected dual bound states in the continuum in metamaterials by Cong, Longqing, Singh, Ranjan

“…In photonics, it is essential to achieve high Q resonances for enhanced light-mater interactions that could enable low-threshold lasers, ultrasensitive sensors, and optical tweezers. Hence, it is important to explore BICs in different photonic systems including subwavelength metamaterials where symmetry-protected dual BICs exist. …”

Remodelling of cortical actin where lytic granules dock at natural killer cell immune synapses revealed by super-resolution microscopy by Brown, A, Oddos, S, Dobbie, I, Alakoskela, J, Parton, R, Eissmann, P, Neil, M, Dunsby, C, French, P, Davis, I, Davis, D

“…A combination of optical tweezers and live cell confocal microscopy reveals that microclusters of NKG2D assemble into a ring-shaped structure at the centre of intercellular synapses, where Vav1 and Grb2 also accumulate. …”

Behaviour of uniformly dimpled colloidal particles by Ivell, S

“…Finally, the depletion induced force between lock and key particles at contact is directly measured using optical tweezers. The dependence of the force due to depletion upon the overlap volume between the particles is illustrated, and we find that the strongest force is produced when the key is held within the cavity of the dimpled lock, demonstrating semiquantitative agreement with theoretical predictions.…”

Ice rule breakdown and frustrated antiferrotoroidicity in an artificial colloidal Cairo ice by Carolina Rodríguez-Gallo, Antonio Ortiz-Ambriz, Cristiano Nisoli, Pietro Tierno

“…We realize this particle ice by confining field tunable paramagnetic colloidal particles within a lattice of topographic double wells at a one to one filling using optical tweezers. By raising the interaction strength via an applied magnetic field, we find that the ice rule breaks down, and positive monopoles with charge $q = +2$ accumulate in the z  = 4 vertices and are screened by negative ones ( $q = -1$ ) in the z  = 3. …”

Comprehensive Review Tapered Optical Fiber Configurations for Sensing Application: Trend and Challenges by Bakr Ahmed Taha, Norazida Ali, Nurfarhana Mohamad Sapiee, Mahmoud Muhanad Fadhel, Ros Maria Mat Yeh, Nur Nadia Bachok, Yousif Al Mashhadany, Norhana Arsad

“…In this narrative review, we have summarized and analyzed eight classes of tapered-fiber forms: fiber Bragg grating (FBG), long-period fiber grating (LPFG), Mach–Zehnder interferometer (MZI), photonic crystals fiber (PCF), surface plasmonic resonance (SPR), multi-taper devices, fiber loop ring-down technology, and optical tweezers. We evaluated many issues to make an informed judgement about the viability of employing the best of these methods in optical sensors. …”
