Enzyme cascade reactions, wherein the product of a first enzyme is the substrate of a second enzyme and so forth, were found to be enhanced by the presence of peptides. It is believed that the peptides operate by forming coacervates, which are membrane-less compartments where, in the case of coacervates formed by peptides, the liquid-liquid phase separation involves water as the continuous phase both inside and outside the coacervate.

A technique for the design of minimum CRISPR RNA (crRNA) sets aids in the detection of diverse nucleic acid targets using sequence degeneracy. As a working example, candidate degenerate Cas13a crRNA sets were designed for detection of diverse RNA targets (Lassa virus). A decision tree machine learning (ML) algorithm (RuleFit) was applied to define the top attributes that determine the specificity of degenerate crRNAs to elicit collateral nuclease activity. This general ML approach can be applied to the design of degenerate crRNA sets for any CRISPR/Cas system.

Apparatus and method for decontaminating both contaminated waters and sorbent filter media, either separately or simultaneously, in a single system. Contaminants in a liquid flowing through a reaction chamber are removed by first generating a plasma within the liquid in the chamber, with the contaminants being broken into smaller particles at the interfaces between the generated plasma and the liquid. The combined plasma-liquid solution is then passed through a solid filter, which captures the smaller contaminant particles to decontaminate the liquid. To decontaminate the filter media, plasma flows through the filter material without the presence of liquid, the plasma reacting with the filter material to remove contaminants previously adsorbed by the filter.

Methods for obtaining a free-standing thick (> 5 μm) epitaxial material layer or heterostructure stack and for transferring the thick epitaxial layer or stack to an arbitrary substrate. A thick epitaxial layer or heterostructure stack is formed on an engineered substrate, with a sacrificial layer disposed between the epitaxial layer and the engineered substrate. When the sacrificial layer is removed, the epitaxial layer becomes a thick freestanding layer that can be transferred to an arbitrary substrate, with the remaining engineered substrate being reusable for subsequent material layer growth. In an exemplary case, the material layer is a GaN layer and can be selectively bonded to an arbitrary substrate to selectively produce a Ga-polar or an N-polar GaN layer.

Abrégé
An argon fluoride (ArF) laser system for inertial nuclear fusion energy production with lower required laser energy than other laser drivers. An Argon fluoride laser system uniformly illuminates a spherical capsule comprising an outer ablator wall surrounding an inner shell comprising the fusion fuel. The laser beams are adjusted spectrally to achieve a bandwidth of up to 12THz and a coherence time as low as 80 femtoseconds that in combination with the short wavelength (193 nm) suppress laser plasma instabilities. Uniform spherical acceleration causes the inner shell of the target capsule to form a spherical assembly of compressed fuel surrounding a "hot spot" that has sufficient temperature, density and size to ignite and initiate a thermonuclear burn.

Disclosed are methods of making porous zinc electrodes. Taken together, the steps are: forming a mixture of water, a soluble compound that increases the viscosity of the mixture, an insoluble porogen, and metallic zinc powder; placing the mixture in a mold to form a sponge; optionally drying the sponge; placing the sponge in a metal mesh positioned to allow air flow through substantially all the openings in the mesh; heating the sponge in an inert atmosphere at a peak temperature of 200 to 420 °C to fuse the zinc particles to each other to form a sintered sponge; and heating the sintered sponge in an oxygen-containing atmosphere at a peak temperature of 420 to 700 °C to form ZnO on the surfaces of the sintered sponge. The heating steps bum out the porogen.

The stiffness and topology of ultra-small circular DNAs and DNA/peptide hybrids are exploited to create a transducer of enzyme activity with low error rates. The modularity and flexibility of the concept are illustrated by demonstrating various transducers that respond to either specific restriction endonucleases or to specific proteases. In all cases the output is a DNA oligo signal that, as we show, can readily be converted directly to an optical readout, or can serve as input for further processing, for example, using DNA logic or amplificationBy exploiting the DNA hairpin (or stem-loop) structure and the phenomenon of strand displacement, an enzyme signal is converted into a DNA signal, in the manner of a transducer. This is valuable because a DNA signal can be readily amplified, combined, and processed as information.

Abrégé
A technique is described to deterministically tune the emission frequency of individual semiconductor photon sources, for example quantum dots. A focused laser is directed at a film of material that changes form when heated (for example, a phase change material that undergoes change between crystal and amorphous forms) overlaid on a photonic membrane that includes the photon sources. The laser causes a localized change in form in the film, resulting in a change in emission frequency of a photon source.

Abrégé
Fiber optic amplification includes a photonic crystal fiber coupled to a pump laser through a first coupler. The pump laser emits a first electromagnetic radiation wave into the photonic crystal fiber at a first oscillation frequency and a second electromagnetic radiation wave into the photonic crystal fiber at a second oscillation frequency equaling the first oscillation frequency. The first and second electromagnetic radiation waves interact to generate a signal comprising an electromagnetic radiation wave at a third oscillation frequency and an idler comprising a fourth electromagnetic radiation wave at a fourth oscillation frequency to be generated and amplified through parametric amplification. Parametric amplification is achieved by four wave mixing. The photonic crystal fiber emits a parametric output signal based on the four wave mixing. A nonlinear crystal frequency doubles the parametric output signal through second-harmonic generation.

Abrégé
Building blocks are provided for on-chip chemical sensors and other highly-compact photonic integrated circuits combining interband or quantum cascade lasers and detectors with passive waveguides and other components integrated on a III-V or silicon. A MWIR or LWIR laser source is evanescently coupled into a passive extended or resonant-cavity waveguide that provides evanescent coupling to a sample gas (or liquid) for spectroscopic chemical sensing. In the case of an ICL, the uppermost layer of this passive waveguide has a relatively high index of refraction that enables it to form the core of the waveguide, while the ambient air, consisting of the sample gas, functions as the top cladding layer. A fraction of the propagating light beam is absorbed by the sample gas if it contains a chemical species having a fingerprint absorption feature within the spectral linewidth of the laser emission.

Abrégé
Systems and methods for growth of silicon carbide over a layer comprising graphene and/or hexagonal boron nitride, and related articles, are generally described. In some embodiments, a SiC film is fabricated over a layer comprising graphene and/or hexagonal boron nitride, which in turn is disposed over a substrate. The layer and/or the substrate may be lattice-matched with the SiC film to reduce defect density in the SiC film. The fabricated SiC film may then be removed from the substrate via, for example, a stressor attached to the SiC film. In certain cases, the layer serves as a reusable platform for growing SiC films and also serves a release layer that allows fast, precise, and repeatable release at the layer surface.

Abrégé
62633 flows into a plasma treatment chamber to produce a low pressure gas in the chamber. An electron beam directed into the gas forms a plasma from the gas, with energy from the electron beam dissociating the F-containing molecules, which react with H-containing gas to produce HF in the plasma. Although the concentration of the gas phase HF in the plasma is a very small fraction of the total gas in the chamber, due to its highly reactive nature, the low concentration of HF produced by the method of the present invention is enough to modify the surfaces of materials, performing the same function as aqueous HF solutions to remove oxygen from an exposed material.
