Irregular transcription dynamics for rapid production of high-fidelity transcripts

Kavli Affiliate: Martin Depken | First 5 Authors: Martin Depken, Juan M. R. Parrondo, Stephan W. Gril, , | Summary: Both genomic stability and sustenance of day-to-day life rely on efficient and accurate readout of the genetic code. Single-molecule experiments show that transcription and replication are highly stochastic and irregular processes, with the polymerases frequently […]

Measuring the spatial extent of individual localized photonic states

Kavli Affiliate: Kobus Kuipers | First 5 Authors: Marko Spasenovic, Daryl M. Beggs, Philippe Lalanne, Thomas F. Krauss, L. | Summary: We measure the spatial extent of individual localized photonic states in a slow-light photonic crystal waveguide. The size of the states is measured by perturbing each state individually through a local electromagnetic interaction with […]

A photonic crystal nanocavity laser in an optically very thick slab

Kavli Affiliate: Axel Scherer | First 5 Authors: Se-Heon Kim, Jingqing Huang, Axel Scherer, , | Summary: A photonic crystal (PhC) nanocavity formed in an optically very thick slab can support reasonably high-Q modes for lasing. Experimentally, we demonstrate room-temperature pulsed lasing operation from the PhC dipole mode emitting at 1324 nm, which is fabricated […]

Correlation functions quantify super-resolution images and estimate apparent clustering due to over-counting

Kavli Affiliate: Barbara Baird | First 5 Authors: Sarah Veatch, Benjamin Machta, Sarah Shelby, Ethan Chiang, David Holowka | Summary: We present an analytical method to quantify clustering in super-resolution localization images of static surfaces in two dimensions. The method also describes how over-counting of labeled molecules contributes to apparent self-clustering and how the effective […]

Opportunities and limitations of transition voltage spectroscopy: a theoretical analysis

Kavli Affiliate: Joseph M. Thijssen | First 5 Authors: Fatemeh Mirjani, Joseph M. Thijssen, Sense Jan van der Molen, , | Summary: In molecular charge transport, transition voltage spectroscopy (TVS) holds the promise that molecular energy levels can be explored at bias voltages lower than required for resonant tunneling. We investigate the theoretical basis of […]
