Living on the Edge: Re-shaping the Interface of Synthetic Biology and Nanotechnology

Ardemis Anoush Boghossian, Shang-Jung Wu

A new team of researchers at EPFL is taking an 'anti-disciplinary' approach to creating optical devices. These devices take advantage of the synergy in tuning both nano- and bio-material properties, coupling 'the advantages of two growing, albeit tradition ...

Functional dichotomy and distinct nanoscale assemblies of acell cycle-c ontrolled bipolar zinc-finger regulator

Suliana Manley, Seamus John Holden

Protein polarization underlies differentiation in metazoans and in bacteria. How symmetric polarization can instate functional asymmetry remains elusive. Here, we show by super-resolution photo-activated localization microscopy and edgetic mutations that t ...

Photochromic Torsional Switch (PTS): a Light-Driven Actuator for the Dynamic Tuning of π-Conjugation Extension

Pascal Miéville, Riccardo Petraglia, Emilie Baudat, Giuseppe Sforazzini, Adrien Georges Nicolai, Adam Antoni Sobczuk, Luca Cervini

Here we present a molecular architecture that can reversibly change the geometric conformation of its π-system backbone via irradiation with two different wavelengths. The proposed ‘molecular actuator’ consists of a photoswitchable azobenzene orthogonally ...

Determination of the Elastic Behavior of Silicon Nanowires within a Scanning Electron Microscope

Yusuf Leblebici, Zuhal Tasdemir

Three-point bending tests were performed on double-anchored, < 110 > silicon nanowire samples in the vacuum chamber of a scanning electron microscope ( SEM) via a micromanipulator equipped with a piezoresistive force sensor. Nanowires with widths of 35nm a ...

Majority-based Synthesis for Nanotechnologies

Giovanni De Micheli, Pierre-Emmanuel Julien Marc Gaillardon, Luca Gaetano Amarù

We study the logic synthesis of emerging nanotechnologies whose elementary devices abstraction is a majority voter. We argue that synthesis tools, natively supporting the majority logic abstraction, are the technology enablers. This is because they allow d ...

Fluid-Mediated Stochastic Self-Assembly at Centimetric and Sub-Millimetric Scales: Design, Modeling, and Control

Alcherio Martinoli, Massimo Mastrangeli, Felix Stephan Schill, Grégory Mermoud, Bahar Haghighat

Stochastic self-assembly provides promising means for building micro-/nano-structures with a variety of properties and functionalities. Numerous studies have been conducted on the control and modeling of the process in engineered self-assembling systems co ...

Single-layer MoS2 nanopores as nanopower generators

Aleksandra Radenovic, Andras Kis, Dumitru Dumcenco, Michael Graf, Ke Liu, Dmitry Ovchinnikov, Jiandong Feng

Making use of the osmotic pressure difference between fresh water and seawater is an attractive, renewable and clean way to generate power and is known as 'blue energy'(1-3). Another electrokinetic phenomenon, called the streaming potential, occurs when an ...

Toward an Effective Control of DNA's Submolecular Conformation on a Surface

Giovanni Dietler, Dusan Vobornik, Aleksandre Japaridze, Andrea Cerreta, Ewelina Wioletta Lipiec

DNA adopts different conformations based on its environment. We reveal conditions that either preserve the DNA's physiological B-conformation, even upon its placement in UHV, or lead to a partial B-form to A-form reorganization upon DNA's deposition on a s ...

Molecular Design Principles for Near-Infrared Absorbing and Emitting Indolizine Dyes

Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin, Aswani Yella, Aron Joel Huckaba

Desirable components for dye-sensitzed solar cell ( DSC) sensitizers and fluorescent imaging dyes include strong donating building blocks coupled with well-balanced acceptor functionalities for absorption beyond the visible range. We have evaluated the eff ...
