Sheldon, R.A. (author), Bode, Moira L. (author), Mathebula, Nompumelelo (author)The discovery that enzymes could function efficiently in organic solvents revolutionized their use in industry but represented a change from the natural “green” solvent, water, to a host of environmentally undesirable solvents. Considerable effort is being devoted to making such processes greener again. Bio-based solvents, derived from waste...review 2023

Xue, H. (author), van Kooten, Katelijn (author)Introspective (or first-person) methods are carving out their niche in experience design research. Relevant epistemological conversations in recent years have led experience design researchers to appreciate the value of “researcher as subject” in understanding nuanced, rich, felt human experiences mediated by designs. However, there is still a...review 2023

(author), Cordes, Thorben (author), Magennis, Steven W. (author), Lerner, Eitan (author)PIFE was first used as an acronym for protein-induced fluorescence enhancement, which refers to the increase in fluorescence observed upon the interaction of a fluorophore, such as a cyanine, with a protein. This fluorescence enhancement is due to changes in the rate ofcis/transphotoisomerisation. It is clear now that this mechanism is...review 2023

Voltage Imaging with Engineered Proton-Pumping Rhodopsins: Insights from the Proton Transfer PathwayMeng, X. (author), Ganapathy, S. (author), van Roemburg, Lars (author), Post, M.G. (author), Brinks, D. (author)Voltage imaging using genetically encoded voltage indicators (GEVIs) has taken the field of neuroscience by storm in the past decade. Its ability to create subcellular and network level readouts of electrical dynamics depends critically on the kinetics of the response to voltage of the indicator used. Engineered microbial rhodopsins form a...review 2023

Hagen, W.R. (author)The development of tungsten biochemistry is sketched from the viewpoint of personal participation. Following its identification as a bio-element, a catalogue of genes, enzymes, and reactions was built up. EPR spectroscopic monitoring of redox states was, and remains, a prominent tool in attempts to understand tungstopterin-based catalysis. A...review 2023

Liu, Q. (author), Ghodrat, S. (author), Huisman, G. (author), Jansen, K.M.B. (author)Devices delivering sophisticated and natural haptic feedback often encompass numerous mechanical elements, leading to increased sizes and wearability challenges. Shape memory alloys (SMAs) are lightweight, compact, and have high power-to-weight ratios, and thus can easily be embedded without affecting the overall device shapes. Here, a review...review 2023
