ACS OmegaThis study presents a new procedure to condense DNA molecules and precipitate them onto a glass slide. The resulting DNA molecules undergo autonomous self-assembly, creating closed superstructures on the micrometer scale, which are called DNA hyperstructures. These structures can be observed using low-magnification (4×) light microscopy.

Exploring the Potential of Flow-Induced Vibration Energy Harvesting Using a Corrugated Hyperstructure Bluff Body [PDF]
Micromachines, 2023 Fluid-induced vibration is a common phenomenon in fluid–structure interaction. A flow-induced vibrational energy harvester based on a corrugated hyperstructure bluff body which can improve energy collection efficiency under low wind speeds is proposed in

Generation of Bacterial Diversity by Segregation of DNA Strands [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 The generation in a bacterial population of a diversity that is coherent with present and future environments is a fundamental problem. Here, we use modeling to investigate growth rate diversity.

Successive Paradigm Shifts in the Bacterial Cell Cycle and Related Subjects [PDF]
Life, 2019 A paradigm shift in one field can trigger paradigm shifts in other fields. This is illustrated by the paradigm shifts that have occurred in bacterial physiology following the discoveries that bacteria are not unstructured, that the bacterial cell cycle ...

Hunting the Cell Cycle Snark [PDF]
LifeIn this very personal hunt for the meaning of the bacterial cell cycle, the snark, I briefly revisit and update some of the mechanisms we and many others have proposed to regulate the bacterial cell cycle.

DNA Movies and Panspermia [PDF]
Life, 2011 There are several ways that our species might try to send a message to another species separated from us by space and/or time. Synthetic biology might be used to write an epitaph to our species, or simply “Kilroy was here”, in the genome of a bacterium ...

Polarization-insensitive perfect absorption in van der waals hyper-structure [PDF]
Scientific ReportsInfrared perfect absorption has been widely investigated due to its potential applications in photodetectors, photovoltaics and medical diagnostics. In this report, we demonstrate that at particular infrared frequencies, a simple planar structure made up

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015 The problem of not only how but also why cells divide can be tackled using recent ideas. One idea from the origins of life – Life as independent of its constituents – is that a living entity like a cell is a particular pattern of connectivity between its

Sensor potency of the moonlighting enzyme-decorated cytoskeleton: the cytoskeleton as a metabolic sensor. [PDF]
BMC Biochem, 2013 Background: There is extensive evidence for the interaction of metabolic enzymes with the eukaryotic cytoskeleton. The significance of these interactions is far from clear.

Division-Based, Growth Rate Diversity in Bacteria [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 To investigate the nature and origins of growth rate diversity in bacteria, we grew Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis in liquid minimal media and, after different periods of 15N-labeling, analyzed and imaged isotope distributions in individual cells
