Abstract:

ABSTRACTTo research the impact of the shape on the assembly of the natural objects (protein, virus, bacteria, living cells) the polymer microcapsules with similar surface chemistry and different by shape (spherical, cubical and tetrahedral) had been synthesized. It was found that the energetically favourable face-to-face attachment of anisotropic microcapsules drives the formation of stable and compacted assembly while isotropic microcapsules assembly is mobile and chain-like structures with a point like a contact area. The difference in assembling behaviour of anisotropic (cubic, tetrahedral) and isotropic (spherical) microparticles is related to the fact that the interfacial hydrophobic energies between the anisotropic microparticles are 6-4 orders of magnitude higher than that for the isotropic microparticles due to the significantly higher contact area of anisotropic microparticles. Such mimicking of the natural objects by polymer microcapsules and research their interaction driven by shape explains the arrangements of isotropic and anisotropic cells in bacteria and its mobility.

Abstract:

It is difficult to assemble micro parts jointing with given space angle as the parts assembled are not on the same flat and the visual depth of microscopic vision is small, which can cause the images gathered by the microscopic vision unintelligible and feature extraction difficult. For the problem, this paper presents an assembly method of micro parts based on projection matching. It can assemble micro parts jointing with given space angle accurately. Firstly, an ideal assembly model is established as the size of the micro parts through the drawing software. Secondly, a graphics algorithm based on the primitive information from CAD is designed. Thirdly, according to the pixel value calibration and the graphics algorithm, the projection pictures are shown on the control interface. Lastly, the control method of micro parts is proposed to assemble them with given space angle. And we accomplished an assembly experiment of micro-tube and micro-column in this way, whose assembly deviation is 0.12[Formula: see text]. Experiment results indicate that the angle between two micro parts assembled can be controlled within the given deviation.

Abstract:

In vitro self-assembled collagen fibrils form a variety of different structures during dialysis. The self-assembly is dependent on several parameters, such as concentrations of collagen and α1-acid glycoprotein, temperature, dialysis time, and the acid concentration. For a detailed understanding of the assembly pathway and structural features like banding pattern or mechanical properties it is necessary to study single collagen fibrils. In this work we present a fully automated system to control the permeation of molecules through a membrane like a dialysis tubing. This allows us to ramp arbitrary diffusion rate profiles during the self-assembly process of macromolecules, such as collagen. The system combines a molecular sieving method with a computer assisted control system for measuring process variables. With the regulation of the diffusion rate it is possible to control and manipulate the collagen self-assembly process during the whole process time. Its performance is demonstrated by the preparation of various collagen type I fibrils and native collagen type II fibrils. The combination with the atomic force microscope (AFM) allows a high resolution characterization of the self-assembled fibrils. In principle, the represented system can be also applied for the production of other biomolecules, where a dialysis enhanced self-assembly process is used.

Abstract:

AMPA-type glutamate receptors (AMPARs) mediate fast excitatory neurotransmission and predominantly assemble as heterotetramers in the brain. Recently, the crystal structures of homotetrameric GluA2 demonstrated that AMPARs are assembled with two pairs of conformationally distinct subunits, in a dimer of dimers formation. However, the structure of heteromeric AMPARs remains unclear. Guided by the GluA2 structure, we performed cysteine mutant cross-linking experiments in full-length GluA1/A2, aiming to draw the heteromeric AMPAR architecture. We found that the amino-terminal domains determine the first level of heterodimer formation. When the dimers further assemble into tetramers, GluA1 and GluA2 subunits have preferred positions, possessing a 1–2–1–2 spatial assembly. By swapping the critical sequences, we surprisingly found that the spatial assembly pattern is controlled by the excisable signal peptides. Replacements with an unrelated GluK2 signal peptide demonstrated that GluA1 signal peptide plays a critical role in determining the spatial priority. Our study thus uncovers the spatial assembly of an important type of glutamate receptors in the brain and reveals a novel function of signal peptides.

Abstract:

Due to their excellent properties, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have the potential to be applied as functional elements for nanoelectronics, nanoelectromechanical systems, new energy, sensors, and others. One precondition for many of these applications is to assemble CNTs into devices and the number and position of assembled CNTs usually need to be controlled. The process factors for CNT assembly by dielectrophoresis (DEP), which include the magnitude of the applied voltage, the concentration of the CNT suspension, the duration of the electric field, and the geometry of the CNTs, and the shape of the electrodes, have great influence on the assembly results. Some techniques based on DEP, such as those adding floating electrodes, optically induced DEP (ODEP) and using hydrodynamic force, can realize precise positioning of CNTs. This paper introduces the factors and techniques which influence the number and position of assembled CNTs. The research intends to provide help for the application of CNTs in nanoelectronics.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT We examine the influence of dark matter halo assembly on the evolution of a simulated ∼L⋆ galaxy. Starting from a zoom-in simulation of a star-forming galaxy evolved with the EAGLE galaxy formation model, we use the genetic modification technique to create a pair of complementary assembly histories: one in which the halo assembles later than in the unmodified case, and one in which it assembles earlier. Delayed assembly leads to the galaxy exhibiting a greater present-day star formation rate than its unmodified counterpart, while in the accelerated case the galaxy quenches at z ≃ 1, and becomes spheroidal. We simulate each assembly history nine times, adopting different seeds for the random number generator used by EAGLE’s stochastic subgrid implementations of star formation and feedback. The systematic changes driven by differences in assembly history are significantly stronger than the random scatter induced by this stochasticity. The sensitivity of ∼L⋆ galaxy evolution to dark matter halo assembly follows from the close coupling of the growth histories of the central black hole (BH) and the halo, such that earlier assembly fosters the formation of a more massive BH, and more efficient expulsion of circumgalactic gas. In response to this expulsion, the circumgalactic medium reconfigures at a lower density, extending its cooling time and thus inhibiting the replenishment of the interstellar medium. Our results indicate that halo assembly history significantly influences the evolution of ∼L⋆ central galaxies, and that the expulsion of circumgalactic gas is a crucial step in quenching them.

Abstract:

Abstract The manufacture of 3D mesostructures is receiving rapidly increasing attention, because of the fundamental significance and practical applications across wide-ranging areas. The recently developed approach of buckling-guided assembly allows deterministic formation of complex 3D mesostructures in a broad set of functional materials, with feature sizes spanning nanoscale to centimeter-scale. Previous studies mostly exploited mechanically controlled assembly platforms using elastomer substrates, which limits the capabilities to achieve on-demand local assembly, and to reshape assembled mesostructures into distinct 3D configurations. This work introduces a set of design concepts and assembly strategies to utilize dielectric elastomer actuators as powerful platforms for the electro-mechanically controlled 3D assembly. Capabilities of sequential, local loading with desired strain distributions allow access to precisely tailored 3D mesostructures that can be reshaped into distinct geometries, as demonstrated by experimental and theoretical studies of ∼30 examples. A reconfigurable inductive–capacitive radio-frequency circuit consisting of morphable 3D capacitors serves as an application example.

Abstract:

This paper presents a three-dimensional dynamic model of laser controlled dynamic self-assembly of nanostructure. A phase field model is employed to study the surface fabrication of silicon which is induced by the laser. The mechanism of the surface fabrication is that the heating effect enhances surface diffusion mobility results in atoms outward flow. The computational model systematically integrate for high reliability of the whole analysis, the experimental and simulated measurements have been quantitatively investigated. A semi-implicit Fourier spectral scheme is applied for high efficiency and numerical stability. The performed simulations suggest a substantial potential of the presented model, which provides a reliable technology of nanostructure fabrications on the surface of silicon.

Abstract:

A large number of soft-matter systems, whose building blocks range in size from several nanometers to almost a micron, have been shown in recent years to form ordered phases with dodecagonal (12-fold) symmetry (for recent reviews see [1]). Contrary to metallurgic quasicrystals, whose source of stability remains a question of great debate to this day, we show that the stability of certain soft-matter quasicrystals–interacting via pair potentials with repulsive cores, which are either bounded or only slowly diverging–can directly be explained. Their stability is attributed to the existence of two natural length scales in their isotropic pair potentials, along with an effective three-body interaction arising from entropy. We establish the validity of this mechanism at the level of a mean-field theory [2], and then use molecular dynamics simulations in two dimensions to confirm it beyond mean field, and to show that it leads to the formation of cluster crystals [3]. We demonstrate that our understanding of the stability mechanism allows us to generate a variety of desired structures, including decagonal and dodecagonal quasicrystals [3], suggesting a practical approach for their controlled self-assembly in laboratory realizations using synthesized soft-matter particles.
