This project develops a new hardware module that drastically improves the temporal resolution of current patch-clamp from the microsecond domain to the picosecond domain. The hardware module can be attached to a commercially available AFM (atomic force microscopy) platform, as well as a commercially available microwave generator. The new module has both scientific impact to...
Unpredictability is usually perceived with a sense of uneasiness and discomfort. However, when it comes to secure our data, information, posts, pictures and whatever flows to (or from) the internet about us, protection relies on unpredictability. The impossibility for an eavesdropper or a hacker to break the walls protecting what sits on the net about us depends on...
A photocathode is a thin multilayer, usually deposited onto a transparent glass window. Its function is to absorb soft (visual) photons entering through the window, and to subsequently emit a detectable photoelectron into the adjacent vacuum. The probability that an incoming soft photon results in the emission of a photoelectron never exceeded 40%. With this high risk/high impact...
