Liu, Z. (author), Liu, Haipei (author), Vera, Andrés M. (author), Yang, Byeongseon (author), Tinnefeld, Philip (author), Nash, Michael A. (author)Catch bonds are a rare class of protein-protein interactions where the bond lifetime increases under an external pulling force. Here, we report how modification of anchor geometry generates catch bonding behavior for the mechanostable Dockerin G:Cohesin E (DocG:CohE) adhesion complex found on human gut bacteria. Using AFM single-molecule...journal article 2024

Lu, T. (author), Wang, Ruizhi (author), Tang, Z. (author), Zou, Yiwei (author), Yue, X. (author), Liang, Yansong (author), Gong, Haoran (author), Liu, Shurui (author), Chen, Zhiyuan (author), Liu, Xun (author), Du, S. (author)This article presents a 10mV-startup-voltage thermoelectric energy harvesting system, assisted by a piezoelectric generator (PEG) as a cold starter. It exploits the fact that when a thermoelectric energy harvesting system is implemented in a place where kinetic energy is also present, the PEG starter can provide a clock signal to start the...journal article 2024

Wu, Y. (author), Liu, Daoyin (author), van Wachem, Berend G.M. (author), van Ommen, J.R. (author)Nanoparticles are usually fluidized as agglomerates, which are in dynamic states of agglomeration and fragmentation. It is critical to consider the size distribution of agglomerates in modeling of the fluidization of nanoparticle agglomerates. In this article, the fluidization behavior of nanoparticle agglomerates is investigated using a two...journal article 2024

Liu, Xu (author), Hu, D. (author), Li, Z. (author), Fan, Xuejun (author), Zhang, Kouchi (author), Fan, J. (author)The nano-copper particles are widely used in the sintering processes of packaging wide bandgap semiconductors. Despite the significant success in the industry, the mechanism bridging the sintering process to the mechanical properties of sintered nano-copper is not yet well-modeled. In this paper, the impacts of different sintering temperatures...conference paper 2024

Wang, R. (author), Liu, Huanhuan (author), Antal, Bas (author), Wolterbeek, H.T. (author), Denkova, A.G. (author)The relatively high linear energy transfer of Auger electrons, which can cause clustered DNA damage and hence efficient cell death, makes Auger emitters excellent candidates for attacking metastasized tumors. Moreover, gammas or positrons are usually emitted along with the Auger electrons, providing the possibility of theragnostic...journal article 2024
