TL;DR: It is shown that dimerization of STIM 1 ER-luminal domains causes an extensive conformational change in mouse STIM1 cytoplasmic domains that releases the ORAI-activating domains from their interaction with the coiled-coil 1 regions and allows physical extension of the STIM3+-acceptor energy transfer domain across the gap between ER and plasma membrane and communication with ORAi channels.

TL;DR: This work reports on a fabrication process that allows for the application of very high voltages to microfabricated devices in general and uses this advance to fabricate a two-dimensional ion-trap lattice on a microchip.

TL;DR: In this paper, an atom chip that operates as a matter wave interferometer was fabricated and tested by ion-beam milling of gold evaporated onto a silicon substrate, showing that it can coherently split and recombine a Bose-Einstein condensate with good phase stability.

TL;DR: In this article, the optimal materials selection for bimaterial structures to maximize the thermomechanical response based on electrothermal heat-transfer analysis is discussed. But the choice of materials has a strong influence on the functional effectiveness and the actuation frequency even though the electromechanical efficiency is inherently small.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on identifying and ranking promising active material/substrate combinations for bimaterial piezoelectric (BPE) microactuators based on their performance.
