Schneider, Mike (author), Couzinié, Jean Philippe (author), Shalabi, Amin (author), Ibrahimkhel, Farhad (author), Ferrari, A. (author), Körmann, F.H.W. (author), Laplanche, Guillaume (author)This work aims to predict the microstructure of recrystallized medium and high-entropy alloys (MEAs and HEAs) with a face-centered cubic structure, in particular the density of annealing twins and their thickness. Eight MEAs and five HEAs from the Cr-Mn-Fe-Co-Ni system are considered, which have been cast, homogenized, cold-worked and...journal article 2024

(author), Lelong, Gérald (author), Hidalgo-Martinez, Silvia (author), Polerecky, Lubos (author), Nuyts, Gert (author), De Wael, Karolien (author), Meysman, F.J.R. (author)Cable bacteria embed a network of conductive protein fibers in their cell envelope that efficiently guides electron transport over distances spanning up to several centimeters. This form of long-distance electron transport is unique in biology and is mediated by a metalloprotein with a sulfur-coordinated nickel (Ni) cofactor. However, the...journal article 2024

Mopon, M. (author), Mol, J.M.C. (author), Garcia, Santiago J. (author)Understanding how late an inhibitor can be released once corrosion initiated without compromising corrosion protection may help in developing more efficient anticorrosion coatings. We explored this idea through time-controlled Ce(NO<sub>3</sub>)<sub>3</sub> availability to AA2024-T3 immersed in 0.05 M NaCl. Ce(NO<sub>3</sub>)<sub>3</sub> was...journal article 2024

Kievits, A.J. (author), Duinkerken, B. H.Peter (author), Fermie, Job (author), Lane, R. (author), Giepmans, Ben N.G. (author), Hoogenboom, J.P. (author)Recent advances in electron microscopy techniques have led to a significant scale up in volumetric imaging of biological tissue. The throughput of electron microscopes, however, remains a limiting factor for the volume that can be imaged in high resolution within reasonable time. Faster detection methods will improve throughput. Here, we have...journal article 2024

Mc Cluskey, K.A. (author), Dekker, N.H. (author)TIRF (Total Internal Reflection Fluorescence) microscopy is a powerful tool for measuring the intra- and intermolecular dynamics of fluorescently-labeled single molecules. As TIRF measurements move to more complex biological systems with more fluorescent probes, the multi-band-pass dichroic that separates excitation from emission becomes...journal article 2023

Yang, Sora (author), Klughammer, N. (author), Barth, A. (author), Tanenbaum, M. (author), Dekker, C. (author)Single-molecule fluorescence imaging experiments generally require sub-nanomolar protein concentrations to isolate single protein molecules, which makes such experiments challenging in live cells due to high intracellular protein concentrations. Here, we show that single-molecule observations can be achieved in live cells through a drastic...journal article 2023

(author), Kuipers, L. (author), Giessen, Harald (author)The creation and manipulation of optical vortices, both in free space and in two-dimensional systems such as surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs), has attracted widespread attention in nano-optics due to their robust topological structure. Coupled with strong spatial confinement in the case of SPPs, these plasmonic vortices and their underlying...journal article 2023

Martinez Torres, C.E. (author), Grimbergen, Jos (author), Koopman, Jaap (author), Koenderink, G.H. (author)Background: Fibrinogen is a plasma protein forming the fibrin scaffold of blood clots. Its mechanical properties therefore affect the risk of bleeding as well as thrombosis. There has been much recent interest in the biophysical mechanisms controlling fibrin mechanics; however, the role of molecular heterogeneity of the circulating fibrinogen...journal article 2023

Rafigh Doost, J. (author), Kolenov, D. (author), Pereira, S.F. (author)It has been a widely growing interest in using silicon carbide (SiC) in high-power electronic devices. Yet, SiC wafers may contain killer defects that could reduce fabrication yield and make the device fall into unexpected failures. To prevent these failures from happening, it is very important to develop inspection tools that can detect,...journal article 2023
