Topological phase transition in quasi-one-dimensional bismuth iodide Bi 4 I 4 by Zhao, WX, Yang, M, Du, X, Li, YD, Zhai, KY, Hu, YQ, Han, JF, Huang, Y, Liu, ZK, Yao, YG, Zhuang, JC, Du, Y, Zhou, JJ, Chen, YL, Yang, LX

“…By tracking the temperature evolution of the (100) surface states, we unveil a thermal hysteresis of the surface gap in line with the α-β structural phase transition. Our findings directly evidence a temperature-induced topological phase transition from WTI to HOTI in Bi4I4, which paves the way to its potential applications at room temperature.…”

Force transduction through the bacterial cell envelope by Williams-Jones, D

“…Further molecular insights were gleaned through <em>in vivo</em> crosslinking, where I probe the conformational rearrangements that occur within the TolQR motor in response to proton flux (chapter five). Additional modelling and bioinformatic data reveal the putative TolA binding site on the TolQR motor, and I demonstrate the biological relevance of a previously unknown interaction motif involved in TolA-TolR interactions and force transduction (chapter six). …”
