Indole prevents Escherichia coli cell division by modulating membrane potential

, 2012
Indole is a bacterial signalling molecule that blocks E. coli cell division at concentrations of 3–5mM. We have shown that indole is a proton ionophore and that this activity is key to the inhibition of division. By reducing the electrochemical potential

Assembly and arrangement of the type three secretion system of "yersinia enterocolitica" [PDF]

, 2014
The type three secretion system (T3SS) is a bacterial weapon found in many Gram-negative bacteria. It consists out of a needle like structure called injectisome, which enables bacteria to inject effector proteins into eukaryotic cells. The injectisome is

High‐Power Rapid Laser‐Induced Synthesis of Multi‐functional Cobalt Metal‐Organic Framework With an Unprecedented Synthesis Efficiency

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Laser‐assisted synthesis enables rapid (within 1 h) and high‐yield (≥90%) production of Co‐MOFs with mesoporous structures, tunable magnetic and optical properties, and efficient adsorption of N2, CH4, and CO2 for low‐energy gas separation. DFT calculations elucidate the electronic structure and adsorption behavior.

Tunable Extraordinary Optical Transmission in the Long‐Wavelength Infrared Range Using Electrostatic MEMS Actuation

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A MEMS‐integrated metamaterial filter enables continuous, low‐voltage spectral tuning in the long‐wavelength infrared (LWIR). The device employs extraordinary optical transmission in a dual suspended metasurface stack, where electrostatic actuation precisely controls the intermembrane air gap.

Artificial Synaptic Device Based on Self‐Aligned c‐In2O3 TFTs With an Ultrathin MgO Interlayer

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A coplanar synaptic thin‐film transistor based on crystalline In2O3 is demonstrated using a PECVD SiO2 gate insulator and an ultrathin MgO interlayer. The MgO interlayer suppresses excessive carrier density and may facilitate proton‐related interfacial polarization, resulting in stable counterclockwise hysteresis and synaptic behavior.

Spacer‐Less Substrate‐Integrated Metasurface for Near‐Unity Terahertz Absorption

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although conventional metal‐insulator‐metal (MIM) terahertz (THz) absorbers can provide near‐unity absorption, their multilayer stacks inevitably introduce additional thickness, mass, and residual stress, which limit their compatibility with THz thermal sensing platforms.
