Controlling the Center of Mass Motion of Levitated Particles Using Structured Wavefronts

open access: yesLaser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
Optically levitated particles have great potential for quantum‐enhanced sensing. Precise control of the trapping beam is crucial to improve the stability and confinement of these systems. Here, we study how structured wavefronts can be used to control the center‐of‐mass motion of levitated particles, enhancing trap stiffness and enabling stable ...

Surface Functionalization, Nucleic Acid Tether Characterization, and Force Calibration for a Magnetic Tweezers Assay

open access: yes
Magnetic tweezers are a force spectroscopy single-molecule technique. They enable the mechanical manipulation of biomolecules via the means of a magnetic particle under an attractive force applied by a magnetic field source.

Recent Advances in Top‐Down Proteomics for Single‐Cell Research

open access: yesMass Spectrometry Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Individual cells have distinctive molecular characteristics, including biologically relevant proteoforms. Although single‐cell (SC) molecular omics offer unprecedented insights into cellular heterogeneity and function, the characterization of proteoforms in SCs remains an uncharted territory.

Synthetic polymer nanocarrier enhances dsRNA stability but not RNAi efficacy in Brassicogethes aeneus

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Experimental setup for dsRNA feeding in Brassicogethes aeneus to evaluate the effect of a synthetic polymer nanocarrier on RNAi efficiency. The experiment assessed whether the nanocarrier enhances RNAi after oral dsRNA delivery. (a) Stability of dsRNA–nanocarrier complexes was tested in simulated gut conditions. (b) Gene expression of αCOP and dre4 was

Liquid Crystal Polymers as Intrinsically Magnetic and Programmable Soft Materials for Microrobotics

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
Liquid crystal polymers (LCPs) are proposed as intrinsically magnetic, programmable, soft materials for microrobotics. Magnetic torque‐driven manipulation of LCP microobjects is achieved and characterized in terms of the step‐out frequency, reaching ∼0.6 Hz in a ∼250 mT magnetic field. The orientation of LCP microobjects in the magnetic field and their

Recyclable Printed Liquid Metal Composite for Underwater Stretchable Electronics

open access: yesSmall Science, Volume 5, Issue 5, May 2025.
This work presents a multifunctional liquid metal (LM) microdroplet‐based composite with a custom‐designed block copolymer as the matrix, optimized for printing. The composite exhibits high conductivity, stretchability, durability in dry and aqueous environments, and recyclability of LM using green solvents. These properties highlight its potential for

Synthesis of Patchy Particles at Phase Boundaries

open access: yesSmall Methods, EarlyView.
The various strategies employed for synthesizing complex multifunctional patchy particles are reviewed, with, as a guideline, the type of phase boundary (solid‐gas, liquid‐gas, solid‐liquid, and liquid‐liquid), that serves as the crucial ingredient for symmetry breaking.
