A subpopulation of cortical VIP-expressing interneurons with highly dynamic spines
Graham Knott, Jérôme Blanc, Christina Georgiou, Kok Sin Lee
Structural synaptic plasticity may underlie experience and learning-dependent changes in cortical circuits. In contrast to excitatory pyramidal neurons, insight into the structural plasticity of inhibitory neurons remains limited. Interneurons are divided ...
NATURE PORTFOLIO2022From pulsed-DCMS and HiPIMS to microwave plasma-assisted sputtering: Their influence on the properties of diamond-like carbon films
Aïcha Hessler-Wyser, Johann Michler, Caroline Hain, David Brown, Thomas Nelis
The fabrication of high-hardness non-hydrogenated diamond-like carbon (DLC) via standard magnetron sputtering (MS) is often hindered by the low sputtering yields and ionisation rates of carbon, therefore investigations into pulsed alternatives of MS, else ...
ELSEVIER SCIENCE SA2022Off-axis electron holography for the direct visualization of perpendicular shape anisotropy in nanoscale 3D magnetic random-access-memory devices
Perpendicular shape anisotropy (PSA) and double magnetic tunnel junctions (DMTJs) offer practical solutions to downscale spin-transfer-torque Magnetic Random-Access Memory (STT-MRAM) beyond 20 nm technology nodes, while retaining their thermal stability an ...
AIP Publishing2022Synthesis and properties of heterostructures in nanowires and 2-D materials
Modern solid-state devices were made possible by the discovery of semiconductor heterostructures. Heterostructures offer the ability to fabricate low-dimensional nanostructures such as quantum dots which can restrain carriers in all three-directions. Quant ...
EPFL2022Microsecond melting and revitrification of cryo samples: protein structure and beam-induced motion
Marcel Drabbels, Ulrich Lorenz, Pavel Olshin, Jonathan Mark Voss, Oliver Florian Harder
A novel approach to time-resolved cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) has recently been introduced that involves melting a cryo sample with a laser beam to allow protein dynamics to briefly occur in the liquid, before trapping the particles in their transie ...
2022Three-dimensional in situ imaging of single-grain growth in polycrystalline In2O3:Zr films
Quentin Thomas Jeangros, Monica Morales Masis, Michael Elias Stückelberger
Understanding grain morphology and kinetics of solid-phase crystallization is important for controlling the functional properties of polycrystalline materials. Here, in situ coherent X-ray diffraction imaging and transmission electron microscopy elucidate ...
SPRINGERNATURE2022Repurposed drug combination via high-throughput screening and dual drug delivery system development for the treatment of retinoblastoma
The goal of retinoblastoma (RB) treatment is to save the child's life, eyes and functional vision, with that order of priority. The management of RB is complex and involves strategically chosen methods of surgical enucleation, external beam radiotherapy, i ...
EPFL2022Fabrication of Suspended Microchannel Resonators With Two-Photon Based 3D Printer
The objective of this project is to optimize the fabrication of suspended microchannels with thin walls and design the fluidic network communicating with the channels, for fluidic delivery and experiments. The project comprise the design of the channel, th ...
2022Evidence of a transient phase during the hydrolysis of calcium-deficient hydroxyapatite
In the present paper, calcium deficient hydroxyapatite (Ca-def OHAP) has been examined in a transmission electron microscope. During the observation, the initial Ca-def OHAP was seen to transform first into a transient intermediate phase, then to a final, ...
WALTER DE GRUYTER GMBH2022Cryo-EM structure of native human thyroglobulin
The thyroglobulin (TG) protein is essential to thyroid hormone synthesis, plays a vital role in the regulation of metabolism, development and growth and serves as intraglandular iodine storage. Its architecture is conserved among vertebrates. Synthesis of ...
