Camera-based three-dimensional real-time particle tracking at kHz rates and Ångström accuracy.
Optical and magnetic tweezers are widely employed to probe the mechanics and activity of individual biomolecular complexes. They rely on micrometre-sized particles to detect molecular conformational changes from the particle...

Identity and Group Conflict
We experimentally investigate the effects of real and minimal identities on group conflict. In turn we provide a direct empirical test of the hypotheses coined by Amartya Sen that the salience of a real identity escalates...

Developmental mechanisms and adult stem cells for therapeutic lung regeneration.
Chronic degenerative lung diseases are essentially untreatable pathological conditions. By contrast, the healthy lung has numerous mechanisms that allow for rapid repair and restoration of function following minor acute...

Gender Differences in the Giving and Taking Variants of the Dictator Game
We run between-subject dictator games with exogenously specified “give” or “take” frames involving a balanced pool of male and female dictators and constant payoff possibilities. We find the following: Females allocate more...

Property Rights and Loss Aversion in Contests

We analyze the effects of property rights and the resulting loss aversion on contest outcomes. We study three situations: in “gain” two players start with no prize and make sunk bids to win a prize; in “loss” both the players...

Alveolar wars
Diseases such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and bronchopulmonary dysplasia injure the gas-exchanging alveoli of the human lung. Animal studies have indicated that dysregulation of...

Gender Differences in Giving and the Anticipation Regarding Giving in Dictator Games

Research on altruistic behaviour and associated anticipatory beliefs, as well as related gender differences, is limited. Using data from Chowdhury and Jeon, who vary a common show-up fee and incentivize recipients to...

Mesenchymal Stem Cells Increase Alveolar Differentiation in Lung Progenitor Organoid Cultures.
Lung epithelial cell damage and dysfunctional repair play a role in the development of lung disease. Effective repair likely requires the normal functioning of alveolar stem/progenitor cells. For example, we have shown in a...

Electrically focus-tuneable ultrathin lens for high-resolution square subpixels.
Owing to the tremendous demands for high-resolution pixel-scale thin lenses in displays, we developed a graphene-based ultrathin square subpixel lens (USSL) capable of electrically tuneable focusing (ETF) with a performance...

Lattice-mismatched heteroepitaxy of IV-VI thin films on PbTe(001)
The chalcogenides of tin and lead (SnS, SnSe, SnTe, PbS, PbSe, and PbTe) have applications ranging from solar cells to thermoelectrics. Taking rocksalt structured PbTe(001) as the substrate, we explore the coherent...

Prediction and identification of synergistic compound combinations against pancreatic cancer cells.
Resistance to current therapies is common for pancreatic cancer and hence novel treatment options are urgently needed. In this work, we developed and validated a computational method to select synergistic compound combinations...

Targeted tumor detection

The challenge in achieving precision medicine relies on how to advance and/or enhance new as well as old therapeutic strategies. Here, we highlight the significant role hydrophilicity of biotinylated fluorescent probe's plays...

Distribution and Production of N<inf>2</inf>O in the Subtropical Western North Pacific Ocean During the Spring of 2020
Nitrous oxide (N2O) is an important greenhouse gas emitted in significant volumes by the Pacific Ocean. However, the relationship between N2O dynamics and environmental drivers...
