. The Form of Growth and Growth of Form: Understanding Cell Growth and Size Homeostasis from First Principles Microbial cells are remarkably plastic biochemical assemblies, demonstrating large-scale changes in composition and mass across diverse environments with a broad range of growth rates. Furthermore, microbes control their size and shape in concert with their growth rate, […]
Davis’s documentary about Robert Putnam called Join or Die, which proposes that intermediary clubs serve an essential role in democracy. Join or Die is a feature film about why you should join a club — and why the fate of America depends on it. Follow the half-century story of America's civic unraveling through the journey of legendary social scientist […]
Erik Helin will give a talk on February 8th.
Zen and the Art of Starting Up a Start-up So, you want to start up a start-up. Or maybe you’re just thinking about it. Have you ever asked yourself: · How do I get started? · How do I pivot from science and engineering to business? And why? (!) · Can I make millions of […]
Radiochemistry in the Fukushima Province: Where Science and Public Perception Meet The goal of radioanalytical chemistry is to identify and quantify radioisotopes present in a variety of samples. It combines advanced radiochemical separations with state-of-the art radiation detection techniques and provides information on the origin, speciation, and mobility of the material. It plays an important […]
Harnessing and Shaping Mid-Infrared Light for Biosensing The mid-infrared (mid-IR) region of the electromagnetic spectrum, also known as the molecular fingerprint region, has long been a focus of scientific and technological research. Mid-IR microscopy is a non-destructive tool that can measure the molecular content of biological samples by probing fundamental vibrational modes, with potential applications […]
The Countoscope: measuring self and collective diffusion with fancy counting Modern microscopy techniques can image complex, microscopic systems with an unprecedented resolution – but methods to analyze these images are much less robust. Available techniques rely on reconstructing and analyzing particle trajectories which can be difficult or impossible in dense, heterogeneous systems, or when particle […]
Giulia Mancini Universita di Pavia (Pavia, Italy), Department of Physics Abstract: Ultrafast scattering, spectroscopy and imaging are essential tools for understanding and quantifying the functionality of nanoscale systems in space and time domains. The past decades witnessed a revolution in ultrafast pulsed sources, from optical lasers to pulsed X-rays sources. In the X-ray regime, X-ray […]
Gamma-Ray Spectroscopy Research with Radioactive Ion Beams at TRIUMF-ISAC The Isotope Separator and Accelerator (ISAC) facility located at the TRIUMF laboratory in Vancouver, Canada, is an advanced radioactive ion beam facility of the Isotope Separation On-Line type. Intense beams of rare isotopes are produced by bombarding thick production targets with up to 100 uA of […]
Visualizing microbial oxygen use surrounding roots using transparent soils and oxygen-sensitive nanosensors Erin Nuccio, Megan Kan, Edith Lai, Josh White, Sam Saccomano, Kevin Cash, Ted Laurence, Peter Weber, Ty Samo While topsoils are often considered an aerobic habitat, it is known that oxygen-sensitive microbial processes can occur under seemingly aerobic conditions. Previous work suggests that […]
