Protocol for live imaging of intracellular nanoscale structures using atomic force microscopy with nanoneedle probes

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is capable of nanoscale imaging but has so far only been used on cell surfaces when applied to a living cell. Here, we describe a step-by-step protocol for nanoendoscopy-AFM, which enables the imaging of nanoscale structures i ...

Coupled Rotary and Oscillatory Motion in a Second-Generation Molecular Motor Pd Complex

Lukas Pfeifer

Molecular machines offer many opportunities for the development of responsive materials and introduce autono-mous motion in molecular systems. While basic molecular switches and motors carry out one type of motion upon being exposed to an external stimulus ...

Explanation of Optical Force and Torque on Nanomotors as the Interplay of Huygens Sources

Olivier Martin, Karim Achouri, Mintae Chung

Being able to understand how optical forces emerge from the interaction of light with matter is paramount for controlling the motion of nanoparticles as well as powering nanomotors. The purpose of this work is to uncover the physical mechanisms at the orig ...

Controlling motion at the nanoscale with light

Mintae Chung

Optical manipulation at the micro- nano-scale is a fascinating topic due to its inherent non-invasive properties and multifaceted applications in various fields such as biology, sensing, micro-fluidics, and micro- nano-robotics. This thesis involves intens ...

In vitro and in vivo NIR fluorescence lifetime imaging with a time-gated SPAD camera

Edoardo Charbon, Claudio Bruschini, Arin Can Ülkü

Near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLI) provides a unique contrast mechanism to monitor biological parameters and molecular events in vivo. Single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) cameras have been recently demonstrated in FLI microscopy (FLIM ...

Two-photon triggered photorelease of caged compounds from multifunctional harmonic nanoparticles

Sandrine Gerber, Laure Menin, Daniel Ortiz Trujillo, Jérémy Vuilleumier, Raphaël Jovita De Matos, Luigi Bonacina

The design of stimuli-responsive nanocarriers has raised much attention to achieve higher local concentration of therapeutics and mitigate the appearance of drug resistance. The combination of imaging properties and controlled photorelease of active molecu ...

Discrimination of oligonucleotides of different lengths with a wild-type aerolysin nanopore

Chan Cao

Protein nanopores offer an inexpensive, label-free method of analysing single oligonucleotides. The sensitivity of the approach is largely determined by the characteristics of the pore-forming protein employed, and typically relies on nanopores that have b ...

Influences of Dilute Organic Adsorbates on the Hydration of Low-Surface-Area Silicates

David Lyndon Emsley, Aaron James Rossini, Bradley Floyd Chmelka, David Benjamin Roger Antoine Gajan

Competitive adsorption of dilute quantities of certain organic molecules and water at silicate surfaces strongly influence the rates of silicate dissolution, hydration, and crystallization. Here, we determine the molecular-level structures, compositions, a ...

Low-Voltage Self-Assembled Monolayer Field-Effect Transistors on Flexible Substrates

Francesco Stellacci, Kislon Voitchovsky, Juan José Segura Sugranes, Thomas Schmaltz

Self-assembled monolayer field-effect transistors (SAMFETs) of BTBT functionalized phosphonic acids are fabricated. The molecular design enables device operation with charge carrier mobilities up to 10-2 cm 2 V-1 s-1 and for the first time SAMFETs which op ...

Detection of RNAP-DNA complexes using solid state nanopores

Aleksandra Radenovic, Michael Graf, Camille Alice Raillon

Transcription is the first step in gene expression where DNA is copied into RNA. It is extensively studied at the bulk level especially the regulation mechanism, which in cancerous cells is impaired. We were interested in studying E. coli RNAP enzyme at th ...
