An intracellular transporter mitigates the CO2‐induced decline in iron content in Arabidopsis shoots

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study identifies a gene encoding a transmembrane protein, MIC, which contributes to the reduction of shoot Fe content observed in plants under elevated CO2. MIC is a putative Fe transporter localized to the Golgi and endosomal compartments. Its post‐translational regulation in roots may represent a potential target for improving plant nutrition ...

Chromatic Aberration in Wavefront Coding Imaging with Trefoil Phase Mask

open access: yesPhotonics
The refractive index of the lenses used in optical designs varies with wavelength, causing light rays to fail when focusing on a single plane. This phenomenon is known as chromatic aberration (CA), chromatic distortion, or color fringing, among other ...

Non-dispersive optics using storage of light

open access: yes, 2010
We demonstrate the non-dispersive deflection of an optical beam in a Stern-Gerlach magnetic field. An optical pulse is initially stored as a spin-wave coherence in thermal rubidium vapour.

Exoplanet detection with simultaneous spectral differential imaging: effects of out-of-pupil-plane optical aberrations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Imaging faint companions (exoplanets and brown dwarfs) around nearby stars is currently limited by speckle noise. To efficiently attenuate this noise, a technique called simultaneous spectral differential imaging (SSDI) can be used.

Toward Precision LSST Weak-Lensing Measurement. I. Impacts of Atmospheric Turbulence and Optical Aberration [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The weak-lensing science of the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) project drives the need to carefully model and separate the instrumental artifacts from the intrinsic shear signal caused by gravitational lensing.

By dawn or dusk—how circadian timing rewrites bacterial infection outcomes

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The circadian clock shapes immune function, yet its influence on infection outcomes is only beginning to be understood. This review highlights how circadian timing alters host responses to the bacterial pathogens Salmonella enterica, Listeria monocytogenes, and Streptococcus pneumoniae revealing that the effectiveness of immune defense depends not only

Enhancing gradient force over scattering force for nano-trapping through compensating for aberration

open access: yesNew Journal of Physics, 2023
One challenge of optical trapping of nanoparticles is the weak trapping force compared to the destabilizing pushing force. Here we enhance the optical gradient force (GF), which is responsible for trapping, to achieve stable nanoparticle trapping through

Topological aberration of optical vortex beams and singularimetry of dielectric interfaces

open access: yes, 2012
The splitting of a high-order optical vortex into a constellation of unit vortices, upon total reflection, is described and analyzed. The vortex constellation generalizes, in a local sense, the familiar longitudinal Goos-H\"anchen and transverse Imbert ...

An upstream open reading frame regulates expression of the mitochondrial protein Slm35 and mitophagy flux

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study reveals how the mitochondrial protein Slm35 is regulated in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The authors identify stress‐responsive DNA elements and two upstream open reading frames (uORFs) in the 5′ untranslated region of SLM35. One uORF restricts translation, and its mutation increases Slm35 protein levels and mitophagy.

Active optics: deformable mirrors with a minimum number of actuators [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the European Optical Society-Rapid Publications, 2012
We present two concepts of deformable mirror to compensate for first order optical aberrations. Deformation systems are designed using both elasticity theory and Finite Element Analysis in order to minimize the number of actuators.
