If you want to hit your target, you need three things: a gun, a target and a method by which to hit that target with that gun ...

Origami structures with morphing behaviours and unique mechanical properties are useful in aerospace deployable structures, soft robots and mechanical metamaterials. Curved-crease origami, as one of ...

Increasing cardiomyocyte contraction during myocardial stretch serves as the basis for the Frank-Starling mechanism in the heart. However, it remains unclear how this phenomenon occurs regionally ...

Genes encoding LIM domains underwent a large expansion in animals. These LIM domain-containing proteins are functionally diverse and involved in a variety of fundamental cellular processes. Previous ...

Synaptic transmission has been studied for decades, as a fundamental step in brain function. The structure of the synapse, and its changes during activity, turned out to be key aspects not only in the ...

We present an atomic-resolution structure of the M13 filamentous bacteriophage capsid, one of many filamentous viruses that play important roles in many areas of research. The model was obtained by ...

(A) Sample preparation, (B) the estimation method of the SERS enhancement factors, (C) additional examples of discrete on/off blinking of SERS spectra, (D) the 2D cross correlation analysis of the ...

We have explored the consequences of symmetry breaking on the coupled surface plasmon resonances in individual dimers of gold nanorods using single-particle dark-field scattering spectroscopy and ...
