DNA is an attractive medium for digital data storage. When data is stored on DNA, errors occur, which makes error-correcting coding techniques critical for reliable DNA data storage. To reduce the errors, a common technique is to include…

The two strands of a DNA molecule with a repetitive sequence can pair into many different basepairing patterns. For perfectly periodic sequences, early bulk experiments of Poerschke indicate the existence of a sliding process, permitting…

We construct the Einstein-axions AdS black hole from Born-Infeld electrodynamics. Various DC transport coefficients of the dual boundary theory are computed. The DC electric conductivity depends on the temperature, which is a novel property…

The mechanical model based on beads and springs, which we recently proposed to study non-specific DNA-protein interactions [J. Chem. Phys. 130, 015103 (2009)], was improved by describing proteins as sets of interconnected beads instead of…

Transport through semiconductor nanostructures is a quantum-coherent process. This paper focuses on systems in which the electron's dynamics is ballistic and the transport is dominated by the scattering from structure boundaries. Opposite…

We study transport properties of a disordered tight-binding model (XX spin chain) in the presence of dephasing. Focusing on diffusive behavior in the thermodynamic limit at high energies, we analytically derive the dependence of…

The elasticity of DNA catenanes, i.e. multiply linked DNA rings, is investigated using the Gauss invariant as a minimal model for topology conservation. An effective elastic free energy as a function of the distance $R$ between segments…

The experiment that the high spin selectivity and the length-dependent spin polarization are observed in double-stranded DNA [Science ${\bf 331}$, 894 (2011)], is elucidated by considering the combination of the spin-orbit coupling, the…

This paper investigates covert multi-hop communication in wireless networks where an adversary employs a cyclostationary (cycle) detector to reveal hidden transmissions. The covert route employs direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS)…

We investigate the computing power of a restricted class of DNA strand displacement structures: those that are made of double strands with nicks (interruptions) in the top strand. To preserve this structural invariant, we impose…

Although carbon nanotubes are potential candidates for DNA encapsulation and subsequent delivery of biological payloads to living cells, the thermodynamical spontaneity of DNA encapsulation under physiological conditions is still a matter…

We show that the conductivity of a two-dimensional electron gas can be intrinsically anisotropic despite isotropic Fermi surface, energy dispersion, and disorder configuration. In the model we study, the anisotropy stems from the interplay…

We investigate charge transport in pentacene-graphene nanojunctions employing density functional theory (DFT) electronic structure calculations and the Landauer transport formalism. The results show that the unique electronic properties of…

Charge inversion of a DNA double helix by an oppositely charged flexible polyelectrolyte (PE) is widely used for gene delivery. It is considered here in terms of discrete charges of DNA. We concentrate on the worst scenario case when in the…

The advances in the growth techniques provide numerous scope to explore the possibilities of new 2D materials for potential applications. With the aid of first-principle calculations we show that 2D Na can be a new addition to the family of…

The in vivo free energy of looping double-stranded DNA by the lac repressor has a remarkable behavior whose origins are not fully understood. In addition to the intrinsic periodicity of the DNA double helix, the in vivo free energy has an…

Numerical calculations of anisotropic hopping transport based on the resistor network model are presented. Conductivity is shown to follow the stretched exponential dependence on temperature with exponents changing from 1/4 to 1 as the wave…

DNA denaturation has long been a subject of intense study due to its relationship to DNA transcription and its fundamental importance as a nonlinear, structural transition. Many aspects of this phenomenon, however, remain poorly understood.…

Nucleic acids have been regarded as stiff polymers with long-range flexibility and generally modeled using elastic rod models of polymer physics. Notwithstanding, investigations carried out over the past few years on single fragments of…

Switches-based hybrid architecture has attracted much attention, especially in directional-of-arrival (DOA) sensing, due to its ability of significantly reducing the hardware cost by compressing massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO)…
