We explore fascinating phenomena at the interface of physics, biology, and nanotechnology at the University of Illinois.


📣Our November 2024 issue is now live🤩 We cover - Programmable RNA condensates. - DNA Computing. - Thermal metasurfaces. - Transition metal oxide cathodes. - Coupled nanopores. - DELIVER framework for translating nanomedicines to the clinic & more... nature.com/nnano/volumes/…

1/5 DNA and DNA/protein conformations at Ångström/millisecond resolution—right in a fluorescence microscope! Check out our new GETvNA paper in @naturemethods : nature.com/articles/s4159… Want to learn about the science behind GETvNA?


Published today in @Nature, we describe an approach for single-molecule protein reading on @nanopore arrays. By utilizing ClpX unfoldase to ratchet proteins through a CsgG nanopore, we achieved single-amino-acid sensitivity. nature.com/articles/s4158…

A theoretical analysis of the complex electric field around DNA uncovers the origin of oscillating field patterns and sheds light on the role of the solvent that surrounds the DNA. Read go.aps.org/47hR1Bn @JonathanGHedley @KushCoshic @aksimentievLab #PRXBio, #PRXChem




_1/n Honestly, it has been an incredible experience to scratch the surface of the physics behind our applied work! Building on the work of nanopore crew, we've uncovered some unexpected clues about the electrophoretic translocation of duplexes and how their form affects velocity!

Delighted to see @chalmerscccc work at the interface of nanopore sensing and cell biology published @NatureComms . Great team effort @RadfordLab @ericcells @aksimentievLab nature.com/articles/s4146…



Absolutely thrilled to continue my scientific exploration with the amazing @aksimentievLab in collaboration with the Schroeder lab.

Beckman honored three faculty and staff members who show visionary spirit and dedication. 🔶🔷 Emad Tajkhorshid (@emadtaj) won the faculty Vision and Spirit Award. Teppie Peyton and Michael Marana won the inaugural Staff Spirit and Dedication Award. ▶️bit.ly/3Q2eGhY


Prof. Aleksei Aksimentiev @aksimentievLab and Takuya Mabuchi @MabuchiGroup visited and gave excellent talks on MD simulations in our lab. Their presentations were impressive and stimulating. We also had a great time enjoying a Tempura Soba lunch together!


Unlocking the secrets of #viral genomes through computational microscopy offers new avenues for combating #infections. Supercomputers enable virtual reconstruction of virions, shedding light on their molecular programs. bit.ly/3Vfz8PG
