When attempting to understand evolution, we traditionally rely on analysing evolutionary
outcomes, despite the fact that unseen intermediates determine its course. A handful of recent …

The use of individual molecules as functional electronic devices was first proposed in the
1970s ( 1 ). Since then, molecular electronics 2 , 3 has attracted much interest, particularly …

Carbon nanotubes have been regarded since their discovery 1 as potential molecular quantum
wires. In the case of multi-wall nanotubes, where many tubes are arranged in a coaxial …

As part of the viral infection cycle, viruses must package their newly replicated genomes for
delivery to other host cells. Bacteriophage φ29 packages its 6.6-µm long, double-stranded …

Organoids are self‐organizing 3D structures grown from stem cells that recapitulate essential
aspects of organ structure and function. Here, we describe a method to establish long‐term…

… Heinemann and members of the Tans group for reading the manuscript. … Now Sander Tans
and colleagues use time-lapse microscopy to accurately determine the growth rate of single …

SecB is a molecular chaperone in Gram-negative bacteria dedicated to the post-translational
translocation of proteins across the cytoplasmic membrane. The entire surface of this …

Plasmonic structures can be constructed from precise numbers of well-defined metal
nanoparticles that are held together with molecular linkers, templates or spacers. Such structures …

Samples of single-wall carbon nanotubes containing tubes with an" armchair" wrapping have
been produced and exhibit metallic behavior with an intrinsic resistivity which increases …

… It is of interest to compare our results to those obtained on a single tube [17] by Tans et al.
[5]. From twoprobe transport data they concluded that the electron wave function was spatially …
