Yunfeng Lu,Yunfeng Lu,Yunfeng Lu,Yi Yang,Alan Sellinger,Mengcheng Lu,Jinman Huang,Hongyou Fan,Raid E. Haddad,Gabriel P. Lopez,Alan R. Burns,Darryl Y. Sasaki,John A. Shelnutt,C. Jeffrey Brinker,C. Jeffrey Brinker +14 more
TL;DR: The self-assembly of conjugated polymer/silica nanocomposite films with hexagonal, cubic or lamellar mesoscopic order using polymerizable amphiphilic diacetylene molecules as both structure-directing agents and monomers is reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Actin restricts FcepsilonRI diffusion and facilitates antigen-induced receptor immobilization.
Nicholas L. Andrews,Keith A. Lidke,Keith A. Lidke,Janet R. Pfeiffer,Alan R. Burns,Bridget S. Wilson,Janet M. Oliver,Diane S. Lidke +7 more
TL;DR: It is shown that receptors become immobilized within seconds of crosslinking, implicate actin in membrane partitioning that not only restricts diffusion of membrane proteins, but also dynamically influences their long-range mobility, sequestration and response to ligand binding.
Journal ArticleDOI
First observation of mechanochromism at the nanometer scale
TL;DR: In this paper, a mechanically induced color transition in polydiacetylene thin films has been generated at the nanometer scale using the tips of two different scanning probe microscopes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polydiacetylene films: a review of recent investigations into chromogenic transitions and nanomechanical properties
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a succinct review of the latest insights and applications involving polydiacetylenes (PDAs) and then focus in more detail on their work concerning ultrathin films, specifically structural properties, mechanochromism, and in-plane mechanical anisotropy of PDA monolayers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Desorption by electronically stimulated adsorbate rotation
TL;DR: Time-of-flight laser resonance ionization is used to measure state-selective translational energies of neutral NO, CO, and metastable CO and it is suggested that the excitation frees the hindered rotation of NO.
