2. Vimentin filaments integrate low-complexity domains in a complex helical structure 

   Eibauer, Matthias; Weber, Miriam S.; Kronenberg-Tenga, Rafael; et al. (2024)

   Nature Structural & Molecular Biology

   Intermediate filaments (IFs) are integral components of the cytoskeleton. They provide cells with tissue-specific mechanical properties and are involved in numerous cellular processes. Due to their intricate architecture, a 3D structure of IFs has remained elusive. Here we use cryo-focused ion-beam milling, cryo-electron microscopy and tomography to obtain a 3D structure of vimentin IFs (VIFs). VIFs assemble into a modular, intertwined ...

3. Artificial Fingertip with Embedded Fiber-Shaped Sensing Arrays for High Resolution Tactile Sensing 

   Weichart, Johannes; Sivananthaguru, Pragash; Coulter, Fergal B.; et al. (2024)

   Soft Robotics

   Replication of the human sense of touch would be highly advantageous for robots or prostheses as it would allow an agile and dexterous interaction with the environment. The article presents an approach for the integration of a micro-electromechanical system sensing skin with 144 tactile sensors on a soft, human-sized artificial fingertip. The sensing technology consists of thin, 1D sensing strips which are wrapped around the soft and ...

4. Qualitatively and quantitatively predicting the front velocity in binary reactive systems 

   Schwarz, Fabian; Spolenak, Ralph (2024)

   Applied Physics Letters

   Reactive multilayer systems, due to their fast and highly localized heat release, are widely applied in various technologies. To tailor their properties to specific applications, there is still a lot of ongoing research on the engineering and prediction of their reaction properties. In this work, the focus is going beyond multilayers to binary Al/Ni reactive systems. Based on molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, two crucial geometrical ...

5. NGTS-28Ab: a short period transiting brown dwarf 

   Henderson, Beth A.; Casewell, Sarah L.; Goad, Michael R.; et al. (2024)

   MONTHLY NOTICES OF THE ROYAL ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY

   We report the discovery of a brown dwarf orbiting a M1 host star. We first identified the brown dwarf within the Next Generation Transit Survey data, with supporting observations found in TESS sectors 11 and 38. We confirmed the discovery with follow-up photometry from the South African Astronomical Observatory, SPECULOOS-S, and TRAPPIST-S, and radial velocity measurements from HARPS, which allowed us to characterize the system. We find ...
