Vibrio azureus emits blue-shifted light via an accessory blue fluorescent protein [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2012
Luminous marine bacteria usually emit bluish-green light with a peak emission wavelength (λ(max) ) at about 490 nm. Some species belonging to the genus Photobacterium are exceptions, producing an accessory blue fluorescent protein (lumazine protein: LumP) that causes a blue shift, from λ(max)  ≈ 490 to λ(max)  ≈ 476 nm.

Terahertz intersubband absorption in non-polar m-plane AlGaN/GaN quantum wells

, 2014
We demonstrate THz intersubband absorption (15.6-26.1 meV) in m-plane AlGaN/GaN quantum wells. We find a trend of decreasing peak energy with increasing quantum well width, in agreement with theoretical expectations.

Revealing the structure of land plant photosystem II: the journey from negative‐stain EM to cryo‐EM

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Advances in cryo‐EM have revealed the detailed structure of Photosystem II, a key protein complex driving photosynthesis. This review traces the journey from early low‐resolution images to high‐resolution models, highlighting how these discoveries deepen our understanding of light harvesting and energy conversion in plants.

Color Changes in Ag Nanoparticle Aggregates Placed in Various Environments: Their Application to Air Monitoring

Nanomaterials, 2021
Fresh Ag nanoparticles (NPs) dispersed on a transparent SiO2 exhibit an intense optical extinction band originating in localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) in the visible range.

Enteropathogenic E. coli shows delayed attachment and host response in human jejunum organoid‐derived monolayers compared to HeLa cells

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) infects the human intestinal epithelium, resulting in severe illness and diarrhoea. In this study, we compared the infection of cancer‐derived cell lines with human organoid‐derived models of the small intestine. We observed a delayed in attachment, inflammation and cell death on primary cells, indicating that host ...

Photosynthesis under far‐red light—evolutionary adaptations and bioengineering of light‐harvesting complexes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Phototrophs evolved light‐harvesting systems adapted for efficient photon capture in habitats enriched in far‐red radiation. A subset of eukaryotic pigment‐binding proteins can absorb far‐red photons via low‐energy chlorophyll states known as red forms.

Effect of BaO Content on the Photoluminescence Properties of Mn²⁺ and Eu²⁺-Codoped Sr_3−xBa_xMgSi₂O₈ Phosphors

Inorganics
In this study, Mn2+ and Eu2+-codoped Sr3−xBaxMgSi2O8 (x = 0–1.5) phosphors were synthesized at 1400 °C under a reducing atmosphere composed of 5% H2 and 95% N2 to produce materials with blue light emission.

Temperature dependence of the surface plasmon resonance in small electron gas fragments, self consistent field approximation

, 2017
The temperature dependence of the surface plasmon resonance in small metal spheres is calculated using an electron gas model within the Random Phase Approximation. The calculation is mainly devoted to the study of spheres with diameters up to at least 10
