Engineering synthetic interfaces between membranes has potential applications in designing non-native cellular communication pathways and creating synthetic tissues. Here, InterSpy is introduced as a synthetic biology tool consisting of a heterodimeric protein engineered to form and maintain membrane-membrane…

Living organisms operate on the basis of dynamic biochemical processes elicited by a rich diversity of endogenous and exogenous stimuli. For higher-level forms of life, the result manifests as complex patterns of behavior and ultimately in the form of intelligence and consciousness. Emerging classes of biocompatible…

We present a novel, flexible framework for electronic structure interfaces designed for nonadiabatic dynamics simulations, implemented in Python 3 using concepts of object-oriented programming. This framework streamlines the development of new interfaces by providing a reusable and extendable code base. It supports the…

The identification and characterization of interfaces in protein complexes is crucial for understanding the mechanisms of molecular recognition. These interfaces are also attractive targets for protein inhibition. However, targeting protein interfaces can be challenging for large interfaces that consist of multiple…

From classical molecular dynamics simulations, we identify a simple and general predictor of molecular orientation at solid and vapour interfaces of isotropic fluids of disk-like anisotropic particles based on their shape and interaction anisotropy. For a wide variety of inter-particle interactions, temperatures, and…

Protein complexes are key components of the majority of biological processes within cells such as the activation of receptor molecules, DNA replication, signal transduction, protein export and transport, recombination, and repair (, , ). Understanding the mechanisms of protein complex formation and macromolecular…

We investigate the kinetics of material transport across interfaces in phase-separated mixtures. Using non-equilibrium thermodynamics we derive the interfacial kinetics, describing the movement of the interface, and of molecular transport across the interface. In the limit of a thin interface, we show that breaking…

We develop a reduced interface formulation for elliptic interface problems with highly conducting interfaces. The interface condition consists of continuity of the primal variable together with a jump in the normal flux proportional to the surface Laplacian of the interface trace. Instead of using the solution jump as…

Designed with an accessible first design approach, the presented paper describes how exploiting humans' proprioception ability in 3D space can result in a more natural interaction experience when using a 3D graphical user interface in a virtual environment. The modularity of the designed interface empowers the user to…

Organic photovoltaics (OPVs) have emerged as a promising technology for renewable energy production. However, their stability and performance depend on the morphology and roughness of the interface between donor and acceptor layers. In this study, we investigated the transport properties and degradation mechanisms of…

Metal–water interfaces are central to many electrochemical, (electro)catalytic, and materials science processes and systems. However, our current understanding of their thermodynamic properties is limited by the scarcity of accurate experimental and computational data and procedures. In this work, thermodynamic…

Grasping objects such as handles, mice, and phones plays a central role in human-machine interaction, yet the contact surfaces of the hand, despite their exquisite tactile sensitivity, are rarely exploited as channels for information transfer. Here, we introduce transdermal all-directional targeting (TADT), a…

Polymer models serve as useful tools for studying the formation and physical properties of biomolecular condensates. In recent years, the interface dividing the dense and dilute phases of condensates has been discovered to be closely related to their functionality, but the conformational preferences of the constituent…

anchoring, ordering field and activity Authors: ['Rodrigo C. V. Coelho' 'J. Agostinho Moreira' 'Duarte M. C. Pedro' 'M. M. Telo da Gama'] A surface in contact with the isotropic phase of a passive liquid crystal can induce nematic order over distances that range from microscopic to macroscopic when the…

The investigation of tangible user interfaces commenced approximately thirty years ago. Questions on its commercial potential become more pressing as the field becomes mature. To take the field one step further—as the emergence of components contributed to the commercial development of graphical user interfaces—this…

At photoelectrosynthetic interfaces, an electrochemical reaction is driven by excited charge-carriers from a semiconducting photoabsorber. Structure and composition of this interface determine both the electronic and electrochemical performance of devices, yet this structure is often highly dynamic both in the…

'Longwei Li' 'Xiong Pu' 'Zhong Lin Wang'] Artificial haptic sensors form the basis of touch-based human-interfaced applications. However, they are unable to respond to remote events before physical contact. Some elasmobranch fishes, such as seawater sharks, use electroreception somatosensory system for remote…

Majorana zero modes are predicted to emerge in superconductor/semiconductor interfaces, such as Al/InAs. Majorana modes could be utilized for fault tolerant topological qubits. However, their realization is hindered by materials challenges. The coupling between the superconductor and the semiconductor may be too strong…

Conventional Mixed Reality (MR) workspaces are frequently organized in cockpit-like layouts, where multiple floating windows surround the user. While this configuration facilitates access to digital content, it often induces occlusion, reducing understanding of the physical environment and limiting access to real-world…

In this manuscript, we explore the electrostatic environment of the interface between a solid and a dilute electrolyte solution, with an emphasis on the electric field profiles that these systems produce. We review the theoretical formalism that connects electrostatic potential profiles, electric field profiles, and…
