Thermophoretic motion of a charged single colloidal particle
Daniel B. Mayer, Dieter Braun, Thomas Franosch
We calculate the thermophoretic drift of a charged single colloidal particle with hydrodynamically slipping surface immersed in an electrolyte solution in response to a small tempe…
Heated gas bubbles enrich, crystallize, dry, phosphorylate and encapsulate prebiotic molecules
Matthias Morasch, Jonathan Liu, Christina F. Dirscherl +13
Non-equilibrium conditions must have been crucial for the assembly of the first informational polymers of early life, but supporting their formation and continuous enrichment in a…
Ligation of random oligomers leads to emergence of autocatalytic sequence network
Patrick W. Kudella, Alexei V. Tkachenko, Sergei Maslov +1
The emergence of longer information-carrying and functional nucleotide polymers from random short strands was a major stepping stone at the dawn of life. But the formation of those…
Cooperative ligation breaks sequence symmetry and stabilizes early molecular replication
Shoichi Toyabe, Dieter Braun
Each living species carries a complex DNA sequence that determines their unique features and functionalities. It is generally assumed that life started from a random pool of oligon…
Plasmonic Nanoparticle-based Protein Detection by Optical Shift of a Resonant Microcavity
Miguel A. Santiago-Cordoba, Svetlana V. Boriskina, Frank Vollmer +1
We demonstrated a biosensing approach which, for the first time, combines the high-sensitivity of whispering gallery modes (WGM) with a metallic nanoparticle based assay. We provid…
Microscale fluid flow induced by thermoviscous expansion along a traveling wave
Franz M. Weinert, Jonas A. Kraus, Thomas Franosch +1
The thermal expansion of a fluid combined with a temperature-dependent viscosity introduces nonlinearities in the Navier-Stokes equations unrelated to the convective momentum curre…
