Modal phase-matched bound states in the continuum for enhancing third harmonic generation of deep ultraviolet emission by Abdelraouf, Omar A. M., Anthur, Aravind P., Wang, Renshaw Xiao, Wang, Qi Jie, Liu, Hong

“…This approach relies on the significant third-order nonlinear susceptibility of c-Si, the interband plasmonic nature of the c-Si in the DUV, and the strong field confinement of BIC resonance to boost overall nonlinear conversion efficiency to 5.2 × 10-6% in the DUV regime. Our work shows the potential of c-Si BIC metasurfaces for developing efficient and ultracompact DUV light sources using high-efficacy nonlinear optical devices.…”

Photo-driven smart polymers and their molecular self-assembly by Hu, Jinhua

“…Further study was carried out on the star shaped azo-PEGs that exhibit more interesting and complicated self-assembly behaviour. Our main scientific contribution is the mechanism illustrating the extraordinarily large change in vesicle size originated from an isomerization-driven molecular assembly and the substantial transmembrane solvent transport. …”

Structural study of ribosome : 1) structural basis of EF-G in translocation. 2) molecular mechanism of ribosome-dependent toxin YoeB in mRNA cleavage by Chen, Yun

“…In addition, mass spectrometry data indicated that YoeB cleaves mRNA following the second position at the A-site codon, resulting in a final product with a 3′–phosphate at the newly formed 3′ end. Our results demonstrate a classical acid-base catalysis for YoeB–mediated RNA hydrolysis and provide an insight into how the ribosome is essential for its specific activity.…”

Spatial and subcellular gene expression patterns in myogenic differentiation and muscle pathology by Chwalenia, KM

“…The efficacy of these approaches is typically assessed in terms of the amount of dystrophin restored, while correct sarcolemmal localisation of the protein has largely been assumed.</p> <p>Our prior work revealed that CRISPR-Cas9-mediated exon excision results in a spatially restricted, patchy pattern of dystrophin expression. …”

Understanding the justifications for food policies through political theory: a method for public policy analysis by Thomas, O
