Article Abstract
Understanding and controlling the individual behavior of nanoscopic matter in liquids, the environment in which many such entities are functioning, is both inherently challenging and important to many natural and man-made applications. Here, we transport individual nano-objects, from an assembly in a biological ionic solution, through a nanochannel network and confine them in electrokinetic nanovalves, created by the collaborative effect of an applied ac electric field and a rationally engineered nanotopography, locally amplifying this field. The motion of so-confined fluorescent nano-objects is tracked, and its kinetics provides important information, enabling the determination of their particle diffusion coefficient, hydrodynamic radius, and electrical conductivity, which are elucidated for artificial polystyrene nanospheres and subsequently for sub-100-nm conjugated polymer nanoparticles and adenoviruses. The on-chip, individual nano-object resolution method presented here is a powerful approach to aid research and development in broad application areas such as medicine, chemistry, and biology.

The ability to determine the precise structure of nano-objects is essential for a multitude of applications. This is particularly true of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), which are produced as heterogeneous samples. Current techniques used for their characterization require sophisticated instrumentation, such as atomic force microscopy (AFM), or compromise on accuracy.

Quantitative phase imaging enables precise and label-free characterizations of individual nano-objects within a large volume, without knowledge of the sample or imaging system. While emerging common path implementations are simple enough to promise a broad dissemination, their phase sensitivity still falls short of precisely estimating the mass or polarizability of vesicles, viruses, or nanoparticles in single-shot acquisitions. In this paper, we revisit the Zernike filtering concept, originally crafted for intensity-only detectors, with the aim of adapting it to wavefront imaging.

Effective cross sections of nano-objects are fundamental properties that determine their ability to interact with light. However, measuring them for individual resonators directly and quantitatively remains challenging, particularly because of the very low signals involved. Here, we experimentally measure the thermal emission cross section of metal-insulator-metal nanoresonators using a stealthy hyperuniform distribution based on a hierarchical Poisson-disk algorithm.

Mutations in receptor guanylyl cyclase C (GC-C) cause severe gastrointestinal disease, including meconium ileus, early onset acute diarrhea, and pediatric inflammatory bowel disease that continues into adulthood. Agonists of GC-C are US Food and Drug Administration-approved drugs for the treatment of constipation and irritable bowel syndrome. Therapeutic strategies targeting GC-C are tested in preclinical mouse models, assuming that murine GC-C mimics human GC-C in its biochemical properties and downstream signaling events.
