Dynamic trapping and manipulation of biological cells with optical tweezers by Sun, Dong, Hu, Songyu., Cheah, Chien Chern, Li, Xiang

“…Current control techniques for optical tweezers work only when the cell is located in a small neighbourhood around the centroid of the focused light beam. Therefore, the optical trapping fails when the cell is initially located far away from the laser beam or escapes from the optical trap during manipulation. …”

Clouds and hazes in Saturn's troposphere and stratosphere by Merlet, CTC

“…Near-infared VIMS data between 4.5 and 5.1 <em>μ</em>m are mainly sensitive to deeper tropospheric levels down to approximately 5 bar. At such pressure levels, thermochemical models predict the formation of condensed clouds made of ammonia and ammonium hydrosulphide ices, although none of these species has been spectrally detected so far. …”

A highly strained Al-Al σ-bond in dianionic aluminum analog of oxirane for molecule activation by Koshino, Kota, Kinjo, Rei

“…The structure of 2 has been unambiguously ascertained by spectroscopic analysis as well as X-ray crystallography, and computational studies revealed that 2 bears a highly strained Al-Al σ-bond. 2 readily reacts with the unsaturated substrates such as isocyanide, ethylene, and ketone, concomitant with the cleavage of the Al-Al σ-bond under mild conditions, leading to the four- and five-membered heterocycles 3-5. …”
