This property may confer significant elasticity on the native state of such proteins. We use a series of advanced single-molecule fluorescence experiments to probe the molecular origin of the spring-like behavior. Our findings point to hydrophobic inter-repeat contacts as the source of the elasticity. -

"Perspectives in Chemistry: From Supramolecular Chemistry towards Adaptive Chemistry"

Supramolecular chemistry is intrinsically a dynamic chemistry in view of the lability of the interactions connecting the molecular components of a supramolecular entity and the resulting ability of supramolecular species to exchange their components. The same holds for molecular chemistry when the molecular entity contains covalent bonds that may form and break reversibility, so as to allow a continuous change in constitution by reorganization and exchange of building blocks. These features define a Constitutional Dynamic Chemistry (CDC) covering both the molecular and supramolecular levels.
CDC introduces a paradigm shift with respect to constitutionally static chemistry. It takes advantage of dynamic diversity to allow variation and selection and operates on dynamic constitutional diversity in response to either internal or external factors to achieve adaptation.
CDC generates networks of dynamically interconverting constituents, constitutional dynamic networks, presenting agonistic and antagonistic relationships between their constituents, that may respond to perturbations by physical stimuli or to chemical effectors.
The implementation of these concepts points to the emergence of adaptive and evolutive chemistry, towards systems of increasing complexity. -

They appear as self-assembled monolayers (SAM) on surfaces making thin and yet effective surface coatings, for example SAMs of alkylsilanes. When intercalated in two-dimensional compounds, like clays for example, these organic chains form bilayer type of arrangements that resemble lipid bilayers. These organo-clays can then be delaminated to form inorganic nanosheets.
This talk has been divided into two parts. In the first part, I would like to discuss the conformation and dynamics of the intercalated alkyl surfactants in 2-d clay minerals resulting in the formation of organic-inorganic hybrid materials. These materials, which resemble the lipid bilayers have the distinctive advantage over their biological counterparts. Being solid, these compounds can be subjected to robust spectroscopic techniques like solid state NMR, something that the fluid-like nature of lipid membranes disallows.
In the second part of the presentation, I would discuss a new strategy to create neutral inorganic nanosheets from the aforementioned organic-inorganic clay hybrids. The suspensions of these nanosheets show a sol-gel transition that can be characterized by experimental techniques like rheometry, SAXS, and NMR.
The presentation will showcase a host of physical chemistry experiments and techniques that I have used over the years for characterization of these chain assemblies.

In mammals, this led to the development of a parallel search mode, pop-out, which enables fast detection time that is not dependent on the number of distracting objects. Although it may be beneficial to most animals, pop-out behavior has been observed only in mammals, where its neural correlates are found as early as V1 in contextually modulated cells that encode aspects of saliency. I will describe our recent findings of pop-out visual search in the archer fish and discuss possible implications about universality of visual search among vertebrates. -

Size-selected gold clusters: solving the atomic structure of model nanoparticles with multiple applications

Nanoscale Physics Research Laboratory, School of Physics and Astronomy, University of Birminghamמארגן המחלקה לכימיה מולקולרית ולמדע חומריםצרו קשר פרטים נוספים Show full text description of The controlled deposition of beams of size-selected nanoclus...» The controlled deposition of beams of size-selected nanoclusters (nanoparticles), assembled from atoms in the gas phase and mass-selected before deposition, is a novel [1] but increasingly popular route to the fabrication of functional surfaces structured on the sub-10nm scale, with applications in catalysis, coatings, radio-sensitizers and biochips [2]. These systems also have the potential to serve as model, ultraprecise reference materials for bio-imaging and metrology (e.g. cryo-electron tomography) and nanotoxicology. New efforts to scale-up dramatically the rate of cluster generation thus promise significant future impact and will be summarised. However fundamental questions remain over the equilibrium atomic structures of the clusters themselves, since direct gas phase structural studies have been limited and new techniques like aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy (ac-STEM) are only now being applied to soft-landed, size-selected clusters.
I will survey our recently published [2-8] and latest systematic ac-STEM experiments which address the atomic structure of size-selected “magic number” gold clusters – Au20, Au55, Au309, Au561, and Au923 – including dynamical manipulation experiments [6], which probe the transformation of metastable isomers into more stable configurations, and reaction-exposure experiments, which probe the stability of the nanocluster structures under real catalytic conditions. The results distinguish the hierarchy of competing isomers as a function of cluster size, expose concepts such as templated-growth, provide a body of data to stimulate and constrain computational models and are readily extendable to other sizes and cluster materials including binary systems. The image shows one frame from a dynamical STEM video of an Au923±23 cluster.

How will the James Webb Space Telescope measure First Light, Reionization, and Galaxy Assembly: The New Frontier after Hubble

Windhorst, Arizona State Universityמארגן מרכז לאסטרופיסיקה עש נלה וליאון בנוזיוצרו קשר תקציר Show full text abstract about I will review how the 6.5 meter James Webb Space Telescope (...» I will review how the 6.5 meter James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) --- after its
launch in 2018 --- can measure the epochs of First Light, Reionization, Galaxy
Assembly, and Supermassive Black-Hole Growth, building on recent results from the
Hubble Wide Field Camera 3.
First, I'll briefly summarize the significant technical progress on the design
and fabrication of JWST: more than 98% of its launch mass has been built, passed
final design, or is being built as of spring 2015. All JWST's 18 flight mirrors
have been gold-coated with an optical performance that meets or exceed specs. All
of JWST's scientific instruments were delivered to NASA GSFC and tested from mid
2013--2015. I will briefly summarize the path from today till launch, planned
with an Ariane V for October 2018.
Next, I will briefly review the search for the first galaxies at redshifts z=9-11
(age ~0.5 Gyr) in the Hubble UltraDeep and Frontier Fields, and their current
limitations. I will show what combination of area, depth, and wavelength coverage
are needed for JWST to detect a sufficient number of First Light objects, and to
measure their evolving luminosity function (LF). JWST will map the epoch of First
Light through the so-called Population III-star dominated objects at redshifts
z~8--15, and its transition to the first Pop II stars in dwarf galaxies at z~<9.
JWST will measure the evolution of the Schechter LF at z~6--15, when the Universe
was 0.3--1 billion years old. A steep faint-end of the dwarf galaxy LF may have
provided the ultraviolet flux needed to start and finish cosmic reionization.
JWST will also image the host galaxies of the first quasars at z>6 in detail.
I will argue that gravitational lensing by the most highly-concentrated rich
foreground galaxy clusters will need to be used to maximize the number of First
Light objects (z~>12-15) detected with JWST. Last, I will address how many random
Webb Deep Fields (WDFs) may need to be observed with JWST to see First Light,
compared to the best lensing targets.
