There is growing interest in whether the myelinated nerve fiber acts as a dielectric
waveguide to propagate terahertz to mid-infrared electromagnetic waves, which are …

Biophotons in the nervous system are a potential carrier of neural signals. Previous
experiments and studies indicated that biophotons are closely related to the neuronal …

Cholesterol is believed to induce the formation of membrane domains,“rafts”, which are
implicated in a range of natural and pathologic membrane processes. Therefore, it is …

The influence of the near-field probe-tip on a model sample consisting of one-dimensional
apertures is investigated using scanning near-field optical microscopy (SNOM). We use …

We use photothermal induced resonance (PTIR) imaging and spectroscopy, in resonant and
non-resonant mode, to study the cytoplasmic membrane and surface of intact cells. Non …

Amyloid fibrils are β-sheet-rich protein assemblies, which could trigger various diseases,
including Alzheimer's. One crucial step in searching for cures is to understand the …
