Metals usually appear shiny and reflect light, but even seemingly smooth mirrors can luminesce under photoexcitation, i.e. absorb and reemit light. Although this phenomenon has been known for almost 50 years, and plays a significant role in the interaction of light waves with plasmon modes of metallic nanostructures, given the inherent momentum mismatch between electrons and photons the microsc...

When a useful device is developed, it always requires a mass-production technique to industrialize it. In the era of nano/biotechnology, the development of printing techniques has not followed the speed of the inventions of novel devices. One of the main challenges is handling at the same time the resolution and the chemical complexity of these nano/biodevices. Here a new stamping technique, Su...

Protein designers use a wide variety of software tools for de novo design, yet their repertoire still lacks a fast and interactive all-atom search engine. To solve this, we have built the Suns program: a real-time, atomic search engine integrated into the PyMOL molecular visualization system. Users build atomic-level structural search queries within PyMOL and receive a stream of search results ...
