Reversible Magnetic Transition in a Bench-Stable Radical Cation Triggered by Structural Transition in the Magnetically Silent Counteranion

Fabrication of bench-stable radical ions under ambient conditions is of utmost significance from the perspective of materials and structural (solid-state) chemistry. Two exceptionally stable benzotriazinyl radical cationic salts of 1-phenyl-3(phenylamino)- ...

Hyperpolarization via dissolution dynamic nuclear polarization: new technological and methodological advances

Andrea Capozzi, Arthur César Pinon

Dissolution-DNP is a method to boost liquid-state NMR sensitivity by several orders of magnitude. The technique consists in hyperpolarizing samples by solid-state dynamic nuclear polarization at low temperature and moderate magnetic field, followed by an i ...

Recent advances on sputtered films with Cu in ppm concentrations leading to an acceleration of the bacterial inactivation

Juan Kiwi, Sami Rtimi

This review focuses on the acceleration of the bactericidal and fungicidal effects by uniform, adhesive Cu-based nanocomposites on textile and thin polymer surfaces. The acceleration of the bacterial inactivation kinetics mediated by Cu, TiO2/Cu and ZrO2-T ...

Picometer Resolution Structure of the Coordination Sphere in the Metal-Binding Site in a Metalloprotein by NMR

David Lyndon Emsley, Andrea Bertarello

Most of our understanding of chemistry derives from atomic-level structures obtained with single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Metal centers in X-ray structures of small organometallic or coordination complexes are often extremely well-defined, with errors in ...

Microfluidic iMITOMI platform to study the architecture of low-affinity transcription factor binding site clusters

Ivan Istomin

Gene regulatory networks (GRNs) determine cellular behaviour, and ultimately the functioning of single- and multicellular organisms. Transcription factors regulate gene expression by binding to DNA or via remodelling chromatin. Recent advances in biotechno ...

Single-cell studies of Mycobacterium smegmatis cell cycle using time-lapse fluorescence microscopy

Joëlle Xiao Yuan Ven

Cell division is one of the most primordial cellular processes and is essential for life propagation. It is composed of crucial events, namely genome duplication, chromosomes segregation and membrane separation. Failure of these processes will have dramati ...

Accessible Superchiral Near-Fields Driven by Tailored Electric and Magnetic Resonances in All-Dielectric Nanostructures

Hatice Altug, Andreas Tittl, Yasaman Jahani, Kosmas Tsakmakidis, Ershad Mohammadi

Detection and differentiation of enantiomers in small quantities are crucially important in many scientific fields, including biology, chemistry, and pharmacy. Chiral molecules manifest their handedness in their interaction with the chiral state of light ( ...

Maximizing nuclear hyperpolarization in pulse cooling under MAS

Nicolas Luc Matthey, David Lyndon Emsley, Brennan James Walder

It has recently been shown how dynamic nuclear polarization can be used to hyperpolarize the bulk of proton-free solids. This is achieved by generating the polarization in a wetting phase, transferring it to nuclei near the surface and relaying it towards ...

Depth of field extension through polarization aberrations

Alessandro Grosso

This paper focuses on depth of field (DOF) extension through polarization aberrations. The addition of polarizing elements into an optical system allows to exploit the polarization of the incoming light as an additional degree of freedom in the optical sys ...

Indication of spatially random occurrence of Chlamydia-like organisms in Bufo bufo tadpoles from ponds located in the Geneva metropolitan area

Séverine Vuilleumier Varisco, Stéphane Joost, Oliver Michele Selmoni, Ivo Widmer, Elia Vajana

Occurrence of bacteria belonging to the order Chlamydiales was investigated for the first time in common toad (Bufo bufo) tadpole populations collected from 41 ponds in the Geneva metropolitan area, Switzerland. A Chlamydiales-specific real-time PCR was us ...
