Seminar in Biochemistry, Biophysics, and Biodesign: Jack Zhang, Assistant Professor of Molecular Biophysics & Biochemistry

High-resolution in situ Structures within Mitochondria Mitochondria are essential for ATP production via oxidative phosphorylation, involving respiratory complexes within the inner membrane. Despite extensive in vitro studies, understanding their mechanisms in physiological environment is challenging due to loss of the native environment during purification. Here, we directly image porcine mitochondria by developing a high-resolution in-situ

Photonics Initiative Seminar: Giuseppe Strangi

Dr. Giuseppe Strangi (Case Western Reserve University) Thin-Film Photonics: Enabling Fano Resonances and Optomechanics Abstract – In recent years, significant interest has emerged in the inverse design1 of artificial layered heterostructures for photonic applications2. Specifically, the unique optical properties of near-zero permittivity (ENZ) metamaterials have enabled the exploration of novel physical effects and mechanisms. In

Photonics Initiative Seminar: Marc Serra Garcia

Dr. Marc Serra Garcia (AMOLF) Physical computing in metamaterials Abstract - There is a significant range of physical phenomena—from nonlinear elasticity, to symmetry, noise, topology, and disorder — that are rarely utilized in traditional computing paradigms. Yet these phenomena can unlock new efficiencies, by directly processing signals in their natural domain, and by bypassing the
