Long distance tunneling
Quantum tunneling between two potential wells in a magnetic field can be strongly increased when the potential barrier varies in the direction perpendicular to the line connecting the two wells and remains constant along this line. A periodic structure of the wave function is formed in the direction joining the wells. The resulting motion can be coherent like motion in a conventional narrow ban...
متن کاملControl of long-distance cell-to-cell communication and autophagosome transfer in squamous cell carcinoma via tunneling nanotubes
Tunneling nanotubes (TnTs) are thin channels that temporally connect nearby cells allowing the cell-to-cell trafficking of biomolecules and organelles. The presence or absence of TnTs in human neoplasms and the mechanisms of TnT assembly remains largely unexplored. In this study, we have identified TnTs in tumor cells derived from squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) cultured under bi-dimensional and...

متن کاملSimultaneous electrical transport and scanning tunneling spectroscopy of carbon nanotubes.
We performed scanning tunneling spectroscopy measurements on suspended single-walled carbon nanotubes with independently addressable source and drain electrodes in the Coulomb blockade regime. This three-terminal configuration allows the resistance to the source and drain electrodes to be individually measured, which we exploit to demonstrate that electrons were added to spin-degenerate states ...
متن کاملWiring through tunneling nanotubes--from electrical signals to organelle transfer.
Tunneling nanotubes (TNTs) represent a subset of F-actin-based transient tubular connections that allow direct communication between distant cells. Recent studies have provided new insights into the existence of TNTs in vivo, and this novel mechanism of intercellular communication is implicated in various essential processes, such as development, immunity, tissue regeneration and transmission o...
