Marsilio Ficino's Allegorical Reading of Optical Phenomena
Teorie vědy, 2020 As a Platonist, Marsilio Ficino (1433–1499) was deeply interested in light and its qualities. As a matter of fact, the metaphysics of light is so fundamental for him that it appears, treated more or less systematically, almost in all of his works.

The relationship between the Wigner-Weyl kinetic formalism and the complex geometrical optics method
, 2005 The relationship between two different asymptotic techniques developed in order to describe the propagation of waves beyond the standard geometrical optics approximation, namely, the Wigner-Weyl kinetic formalism and the complex geometrical optics method,

Space‐Confined Growth of 2D InI Showing High Sensitivity in Photodetection
Advanced Electronic Materials, 2020 Layered InI has a great potential in optoelectronic applications due to its direct wide tunable bandgap. However, there is no single report about its 2D synthesis. Here, the growth of high‐quality and ultrathin InI flake (as thin as 8 nm) is reported via

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023 Astonishing functional diversity exists among arthropod eyes, yet eye development relies on deeply conserved genes. This phenomenon is best understood for early events, whereas fewer investigations have focused on the influence of later transcriptional ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Atovaquone is an antimalarial requiring potentiation for sufficient efficacy. We pursued strategies to enhance its activity, showing that 4‐nitrobenzoate inhibits 4‐hydroxybenzoate polyprenyltransferase, decreasing ubiquinone biosynthesis. Since atovaquone competes with ubiquinol in mitochondria, 4‐nitrobenzoate facilitates its action, potentiating ...

Optical Vortices shape Optical Tornados
Optics Express, 2023 We demonstrate that by seeding an accelerating ring-Airy beam with a finite number of off-axis optical vortices, it transforms into a Tornado wave (ToW) upon propagation. Using numerical simulations, we show that both the spiraling high-intensity lobes and the optical vortices exhibit angular acceleration and follow interwinding braid-like trajectories.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Cells must clear mislocalized or faulty proteins from membranes to survive. The AAA+ ATPase Msp1 performs this task, but dissecting how its six subunits work together is challenging. We engineered linked dimers with varied numbers of functional subunits to reveal how Msp1 subunits cooperate and use energy to extract proteins from the lipid bilayer ...
