Electrochemical push-pull probe: from scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) to multimodal altering of cell microenvironment

Hubert Girault, Andreas Stephan Lesch, Fernando Cortes Salazar, Dmitry Momotenko, Alexandra Bondarenko

To understand biological processes at the cellular level, a general approach is to alter the cells’ environment and to study their chemical responses. Herein, we present the implementation of an electrochemical push-pull probe, which combines a microfluidi ...

Deciphering the astrocyte-neuron metabolic cooperation in vivo

Manuel Raphael Zenger

Brain energy consumption is high and a very tightly regulated energy metabolism ensures correct performance. Neurons, the cells responsible for transmitting information via synapses, interact very closely with star shaped glial cells called astrocytes. Ast ...

How non-adiabatic passing electron layers of linear microinstabilities affect turbulent transport

Laurent Villard, Stephan Brunner, Julien Stanislas Pierre Dominski

The response of passing electrons in ion temperature gradient and trapped electron mode microturbulence regimes is investigated in tokamak geometry making use of the flux-tube version of the gyrokinetic code GENE. Results are obtained using two different e ...

Ionic liquids enhance the electrochemical CO2 reduction catalyzed by MoO2

Xile Hu, Yeonji Oh

Several imidazolium-based ionic liquids significantly enhance the activity of MoO2 for electrochemical reduction of CO2. The over-potential of CO2 reduction is as low as 40 mV. The ionic liquids act as both electrolytes and co-catalysts, which not only lea ...
