Measurement and modeling of diffuse ultraviolet radiation: A review

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
Solar UV radiation consists of direct and diffuse UV components. The diffuse component contributes to the exposure received by humans and to the risk of skin cancer and sun‐related eye disorders. This review aims to determine future research directions for the measurement and modeling of diffuse solar UV radiation.

On The 5D Extra-Force according to Basini-Capozziello-Leon Formalism and five important features: Kar-Sinha Gravitational Bending of Light, Chung-Freese Superluminal Behaviour, Maartens-Clarkson Black Strings, Experimental measures of Extra Dimensions on board International Space Station(ISS) and the existence of the Particle $Z$ due to a Higher Dimensional spacetime

, 2006
We use the Conformal Metric as described in Kar-Sinha work on Gravitational Bending of Light in a 5D Spacetime to recompute the equations of the 5D Force in Basini-Capozziello-Leon Formalism and we arrive at a result that possesses some advantages.

Transmembrane Condensation in Albumin‐Loaded Giant Vesicles Induced by an Intrinsically Disordered Protein

ChemSystemsChem, Volume 8, Issue 3, May 2026.
An intrinsically disordered protein, Q20, forms transmembrane condensates with albumin‐loaded lipid and hybrid giant vesicles. Condensate insertion and membrane remodeling depend on giant vesicle size and membrane properties, inducing local lipid coupling without leakage and revealing a robust membrane‐condensate interplay.

Liposome-based liquid handling platform featuring addition, mixing, and aliquoting of femtoliter volumes. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
This paper describes the utilization of giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) as a platform for handling chemical and biochemical reagents. GUVs with diameters of 5 to 10 µm and containing chemical/biochemical reagents together with inert polymers were fused

Ion‐ and Temperature‐Programmable Reconfiguration of Subcompartments in Synthetic Cells

ChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 8, April 2026.
Spatial organization of subcompartments defines living cells, yet achieving dynamic and reversible compartmentalization remains challenging in bottom‐up synthetic cell design. We report a minimal, protein‐free mechanism in which Mg2+‐mediated intermembrane adhesion reversibly couples neutral large unilamellar vesicle (LUV) subcompartments to negatively

Specific Adhesion of Membranes Simultaneously Supports Dual Heterogeneities in Lipids and Proteins [PDF]

, 2015
Membrane adhesion is a vital component of many biological processes. Heterogeneities in lipid and protein composition are often associated with the adhesion site. These heterogeneities are thought to play functional roles in facilitating signalling. Here

DNA Origami Assembly Inside Liposomes via Nanopore‐Mediated DNA Transportation

Small Structures, Volume 7, Issue 4, April 2026.
DNA origami assembly inside giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) using externally supplied staple strands is demonstrated. Scaffold DNA is pre‐encapsulated inside GUVs, and staple strands are transported via a pore‐forming membrane protein. Subsequent addition of CaCl2 closes the pores.

Estimation of the UV susceptibility of aerosolized SARS-CoV-2 to 254 nm irradiation using CFD-based room disinfection simulations

Scientific Reports
The recent COVID-19 pandemic has raised interest in efficient air disinfection solutions. The application of germicidal ultraviolet (GUV) irradiation is an excellent contender to prevent airborne transmission of COVID-19, as well as other existing and ...
