    Label-free detection and profiling of individual solution-phase molecules

    Most chemistry and biology occurs in solution, in which conformational dynamics and complexation underlie behaviour and function. Single-molecule techniques1 are uniquely suited to resolving molecular diversity a...

    A 2D chiral microcavity based on apparent circular dichroism

    Engineering asymmetric transmission between left-handed and right-handed circularly polarized light in planar Fabry–Pérot (FP) microcavities would enable a variety of chiral light-matter phenomena, with applic...

    Theory predicts 2D chiral polaritons based on achiral Fabry–Pérot cavities using apparent circular dichroism

    Realizing polariton states with high levels of chirality offers exciting prospects for quantum information, sensing, and lasing applications. Such chirality must emanate from either the involved optical resona...

    cAMP binding to closed pacemaker ion channels is non-cooperative

    Electrical activity in the brain and heart depends on rhythmic generation of action potentials by pacemaker ion channels (HCN) whose activity is regulated by cAMP binding1. Previous work has uncovered evidence fo...

    Fabrication of a Nanoneedle Array

    We have developed a new fabrication method for building large arrays of needles with nanometer-size apertures. Because the process is entirely based on standard photolithographic techniques and conventional si...
