text: 'Endocytosis is a key cellular process involved in the uptake of nutrients,
pathogens, or the therapy of diseases. Most studies have focused on spherical
objects, whereas biologically relevant shapes can be highly anisotropic. In this
letter, we use an experimental model system based on Giant Unilamellar Vesicles
(GUVs) and dumbbell-shaped colloidal particles to mimic and investigate the first
stage of the passive endocytic process: engulfment of an anisotropic object by
the membrane. Our model has specific ligand–receptor interactions realized by
mobile receptors on the vesicles and immobile ligands on the particles. Through
a series of experiments, theory, and molecular dynamics simulations, we quantify
the wrapping process of anisotropic dumbbells by GUVs and identify distinct stages
of the wrapping pathway. We find that the strong curvature variation in the neck
of the dumbbell as well as membrane tension are crucial in determining both the
speed of wrapping and the final states.'

text: We report the observation of an anomalous nonlinear optical response of the
prototypical three-dimensional topological insulator bismuth selenide through
the process of high-order harmonic generation. We find that the generation efficiency
increases as the laser polarization is changed from linear to elliptical, and
it becomes maximum for circular polarization. With the aid of a microscopic theory
and a detailed analysis of the measured spectra, we reveal that such anomalous
enhancement encodes the characteristic topology of the band structure that originates
from the interplay of strong spin–orbit coupling and time-reversal symmetry protection.
The implications are in ultrafast probing of topological phase transitions, light-field
driven dissipationless electronics, and quantum computation.

text: Using inelastic cotunneling spectroscopy we observe a zero field splitting
within the spin triplet manifold of Ge hut wire quantum dots. The states with
spin ±1 in the confinement direction are energetically favored by up to 55 μeV
compared to the spin 0 triplet state because of the strong spin–orbit coupling.
The reported effect should be observable in a broad class of strongly confined
hole quantum-dot systems and might need to be considered when operating hole spin
qubits.

text: In the living cell, we encounter a large variety of motile processes such
as organelle transport and cytoskeleton remodeling. These processes are driven
by motor proteins that generate force by transducing chemical free energy into
mechanical work. In many cases, the molecular motors work in teams to collectively
generate larger forces. Recent optical trapping experiments on small teams of
cytoskeletal motors indicated that the collectively generated force increases
with the size of the motor team but that this increase depends on the motor type
and on whether the motors are studied in vitro or in vivo. Here, we use the theory
of stochastic processes to describe the motion of N motors in a stationary optical
trap and to compute the N-dependence of the collectively generated forces. We
consider six distinct motor types, two kinesins, two dyneins, and two myosins.
We show that the force increases always linearly with N but with a prefactor that
depends on the performance of the single motor. Surprisingly, this prefactor increases
for weaker motors with a lower stall force. This counter-intuitive behavior reflects
the increased probability with which stronger motors detach from the filament
during strain generation. Our theoretical results are in quantitative agreement
with experimental data on small teams of kinesin-1 motors.

text: Recent discoveries have shown that, when two layers of van der Waals (vdW)
materials are superimposed with a relative twist angle between them, the electronic
properties of the coupled system can be dramatically altered. Here, we demonstrate
that a similar concept can be extended to the optics realm, particularly to propagating
phonon polaritons–hybrid light-matter interactions. To do this, we fabricate stacks
composed of two twisted slabs of a vdW crystal (α-MoO3) supporting anisotropic
phonon polaritons (PhPs), and image the propagation of the latter when launched
by localized sources. Our images reveal that, under a critical angle, the PhPs
isofrequency curve undergoes a topological transition, in which the propagation
of PhPs is strongly guided (canalization regime) along predetermined directions
without geometric spreading. These results demonstrate a new degree of freedom
(twist angle) for controlling the propagation of polaritons at the nanoscale with
potential for nanoimaging, (bio)-sensing, or heat management.

text: Efficient isomerization of photochromic molecules often requires conformational
freedom and is typically not available under solvent-free conditions. Here, we
report a general methodology allowing for reversible switching of such molecules
on the surfaces of solid materials. Our method is based on dispersing photochromic
compounds within polysilsesquioxane nanowire networks (PNNs), which can be fabricated
as transparent, highly porous, micrometer-thick layers on various substrates.
We found that azobenzene switching within the PNNs proceeded unusually fast compared
with the same molecules in liquid solvents. Efficient isomerization of another
photochromic system, spiropyran, from a colorless to a colored form was used to
create reversible images in PNN-coated glass. The coloration reaction could be
induced with sunlight and is of interest for developing “smart” windows.

text: We demonstrate a method for manipulating small ensembles of vortices in multiply
connected superconducting structures. A micron-size magnetic particle attached
to the tip of a silicon cantilever is used to locally apply magnetic flux through
the superconducting structure. By scanning the tip over the surface of the device
and by utilizing the dynamical coupling between the vortices and the cantilever,
a high-resolution spatial map of the different vortex configurations is obtained.
Moving the tip to a particular location in the map stabilizes a distinct multivortex
configuration. Thus, the scanning of the tip over a particular trajectory in space
permits nontrivial operations to be performed, such as braiding of individual
vortices within a larger vortex ensemble—a key capability required by many proposals
for topological quantum computing.

text: Biological membranes typically contain a large number of different components
dispersed in small concentrations in the main membrane phase, including proteins,
sugars, and lipids of varying geometrical properties. Most of these components
do not bind the cargo. Here, we show that such “inert” components can be crucial
for the precise control of cross-membrane trafficking. Using a statistical mechanics
model and molecular dynamics simulations, we demonstrate that the presence of
inert membrane components of small isotropic curvatures dramatically influences
cargo endocytosis, even if the total spontaneous curvature of such a membrane
remains unchanged. Curved lipids, such as cholesterol, as well as asymmetrically
included proteins and tethered sugars can, therefore, actively participate in
the control of the membrane trafficking of nanoscopic cargo. We find that even
a low-level expression of curved inert membrane components can determine the membrane
selectivity toward the cargo size and can be used to selectively target membranes
of certain compositions. Our results suggest a robust and general method of controlling
cargo trafficking by adjusting the membrane composition without needing to alter
the concentration of receptors or the average membrane curvature. This study indicates
that cells can prepare for any trafficking event by incorporating curved inert
components in either of the membrane leaflets.

text: Scaffolded DNA origami enables the fabrication of a variety of complex nanostructures
that promise utility in diverse fields of application, ranging from biosensing
over advanced therapeutics to metamaterials. The broad applicability of DNA origami
as a material beyond the level of proof-of-concept studies critically depends,
among other factors, on the availability of large amounts of pure single-stranded
scaffold DNA. Here, we present a method for the efficient production of M13 bacteriophage-derived
genomic DNA using high-cell-density fermentation of Escherichia coli in stirred-tank
bioreactors. We achieve phage titers of up to 1.6 × 1014 plaque-forming units
per mL. Downstream processing yields up to 410 mg of high-quality single-stranded
DNA per one liter reaction volume, thus upgrading DNA origami-based nanotechnology
from the milligram to the gram scale.

text: The reversible molecular template-directed self-assembly of gold nanoparticles
(AuNPs), a process which relies solely on noncovalent bonding interactions, has
been demonstrated by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM).
By employing a well-known host−guest binding motif, the AuNPs have been systemized
into discrete dimers, trimers, and tetramers. These nanoparticulate twins, triplets,
and quadruplets, which can be disassembled and reassembled either chemically or
electrochemically, can be coalesced into larger, permanent polygonal structures
by thermal treatment using a focused HR-TEM electron beam.
