Kinesin as an Electrostatic Machine [PDF]
Journal of Biological Physics, 2006 Kinesin and related motor proteins utilize ATP fuel to propel themselves along the external surface of microtubules in a processive and directional fashion. We show that the observed step-like motion is possible through time varying charge distributions furnished by the ATP hydrolysis circle while the static charge configuration on the microtuble ...

Visualizing electrostatic gating effects in two-dimensional heterostructures [PDF]
Nature, 2019 The ability to directly monitor the states of electrons in modern field-effect devices—for example, imaging local changes in the electrical potential, Fermi level and band structure as a gate voltage is applied—could transform our understanding of the ...

Condenser microphone with small size and high sensitivity Using a circular diaphragm with fixed center [PDF]
Journal of Intelligent Procedures in Electrical Technology, 2016 In this paper, a new single-chip MEMS capacitor microphone on a silicon wafer by minimizing the size and the reduction of mechanical strength using a circular diaphragm with a fixed center is proposed. In the proposed microphone, the diaphragm includes a
