electron bombardment is applicable to any atomic species, it can reduce the lifetime of the trapped ions by contaminating the vacuum, and the accumulation of charge on insulators can result in additional micromotion or even destabilize the trap. Although photoionization can avoid the issues related to electron bombardment, there can be significant overhead associated with the additional lasers,...

Superfluidity or superconductivity with mismatched Fermi momenta appears in many systems such as charge neutral dense quark matter, asymmetric nuclear matter, and in imbalanced cold atomic gases. The mismatch plays the role of breaking the Cooper pairing, and the pair-breaking state cannot be properly described in the framework of standard BCS theory. I give a brief review on recent theoretical...

Catalysis science and technology increased efforts recently to progress beyond conventional "thermal" catalysis face the challenges of net-zero emissions electrification production. Nevertheless, a better gaps opportunities analysis is necessary. This review analyses four emerging areas unconventional or less-conventional which share common aspect using directly renewable energy sources: (i) pl...

Background: PI(4,5)P2 and tyrosine phosphorylation dependent unconventional secretion of FGF2 is mediated by direct translocation across the plasma membrane. Results: PI(4,5)P2 mediated membrane recruitment causes oligomerization of tyrosine phosphorylated FGF2 which, in turn, triggers the formation of a lipidic membrane pore. Conclusion: Membrane inserted FGF2 oligomers represent intermediates...

Synthetic biology, comprising many aspects including in vivo, in vitro and in silico techniques, models and methods, programming paradigms and tools, is a rapidly growing field with promising potential in building new synthetically constructed devices and systems. Synthetic biology features unconventional biological systems that do not naturally exist in nature. In this paper, we discuss a soft...
