The aim of the present work is spectroscopic and thermodynamic study of DNA catalytic properties in the following processes: a) redox; b) formation of inter-strand cross-links; c) performing of photo-dynamic effects; d) nanoscale resonance…
Modulating the electric potential on a conducting electrode is presented to generate an optical contrast for scattering microscopy that is sensitive to both surface charge and local topography. We dub this method…
The investigation of ultrafast electronic and structural dynamics in low-dimensional systems like nanowires and two-dimensional materials requires femtosecond probes providing high spatial resolution and strong interaction with small volume…
Electron microscopy is a powerful tool for studying the properties of materials down to their atomic structure. In many cases, the quantitative interpretation of images requires simulations based on atomistic structure models. These…
A theoretical study is presented to quantitatively analyze the transport experiment through individual DNA molecules reported recently by Porath {\it et al.} [Nature {\bf 403}, 635 (2000)]. A variety of valuable quantities are identified by…
Experimental charge exchange and energy loss data for the transmission of slow highly charged Xe ions through ultra-thin polymeric carbon membranes are presented. Surprisingly, two distinct exit charge state distributions accompanied by…
The photoelectron properties of DNA and RNA bases are studied using many-body perturbation theory within the GW approximation, together with a recently developed Lanczos-chain approach. Calculated vertical ionization potentials, electron…
Cellular electron cryo-tomography enables the 3D visualization of cellular organization in the near-native state and at submolecular resolution. However, the contents of cellular tomograms are often complex, making it difficult to…
We present a method for incorporating image-charge effects into the description of charge transport through molecular devices. A simple model allows us to calculate the adjustment of the transport levels, due to the polarization of the…
Ultrafast electron microscopy (UEM) has found widespread applications in physics, chemistry, and materials science, enabling real-space imaging of dynamics on ultrafast timescales. Recent advances have pushed the temporal resolution of UEM…
Purpose: Electron density is the most important tissue property influencing photon and ion dose distributions in radiotherapy patients. Dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) enables the determination of electron density by combining the…
Electrically powered micro- and nanomotors are promising tools for in-vitro single-cell analysis. In particular, single cells can be trapped, transported and electroporated by a Janus particle (JP) using an externally applied electric…
When the DNA double helix is subjected to external forces it can stretch elastically to elongations reaching 100% of its natural length. These distortions, imposed at the mesoscopic or macroscopic scales, have a dramatic effect on…
Understanding and actively controlling the spatio-temporal dynamics of non-equilibrium electron clouds is fundamental for the design of light and electron sources, novel high-power electronic devices, and plasma-based applications. However,…
We propose using graphene electrodes with hydrogenated edges for solid-state nanopore-based DNA sequencing, and perform molecular dynamics simulations in conjunction with electronic transport calculations to explore the potential merits of…
Live cell culture is crucial in biomedical studies for analyzing cell properties and dynamics in vitro. This study focuses on segmenting unstained live cells imaged with bright-field microscopy. While many segmentation approaches exist for…
An 1d model with time-dependent random hopping is proposed to describe charge transport in DNA. It admits to investigate both diffusion of electrons and their tunneling between different sites in DNA. The tunneling appears to be strongly…
Motivated by the need for less destructive imaging of nanostructures, we pursue point-source in-line holography (also known as point projection microscopy, or PPM) with very low energy electrons (-100 eV). This technique exploits the recent…
Since the discovery of electrons, an accurate detection of electrical charges has been the dream of scientific community. Due to some remarkable advantages, micro/nano-electromechanical systems (M/NEMS) based resonators have been used to…
In electron microscopy, charging of non-conductive biological samples by focused electron beams hinders their high-resolution imaging. Gold or platinum coatings have been commonly used to prevent such sample charging, but it disables…
