纳米银的单颗粒-电感耦合等离子质谱法表征及其测定

建立单颗粒-电感耦合等离子体质谱法( SP-ICP-MS)测定稀溶液中纳米银颗粒粒度分布及纳米银颗粒数量浓度的方法。当停留时间为3 ms时,两个或多个纳米银颗粒同时进入检测器的可能性降至最低。采用5倍标准偏差迭代算法(5σ)区分纳米银颗粒信号和背景信号。采用SP-ICP-MS法测定3种商品级纳米银颗粒(30,50和100 nm)粒度分布和纳米颗粒浓度。结果表明：SP-ICP-MS法测定纳米银颗粒结果与纳米银的TEM值相近,可采用SP-ICP-MS法表征纳米银颗粒。本方法测定稀溶液中纳米银颗粒粒度检出限为25 nm,纳米银颗粒浓度检出限约为8×104个/L。将纳米银颗粒加入到自来水样品中并进行测定,获得相近的纳米银粒度分布及纳米颗粒浓度。本方法简单、快捷、灵敏度高,可为研究水环境中纳米银的风险评估提供可靠分析方法,并为饮用水中纳米银的监测提供分析技术。

单分子电泳:纳米孔道电化学的新认识

该文旨在从电泳分离技术的角度认识纳米孔道电化学单分子分析技术,这种技术可以作为"单分子电泳"来理解和研究。纳米孔道电化学单分子分析技术与电泳的本质都是采用外加电场使待测分子产生电迁移。待测分子性质不同,且与介质材料孔道外露基团相互作用不同,使得分子移动速度具有差异,据此实现分离识别。气单胞菌溶素（Aerolysin）纳米孔道,由于其孔径与待测分子尺寸相匹配,其孔道内壁可以看作是由氨基酸组成的具有调控单个分子电迁移能力的特异性孔道界面。每一个氨基酸残基都相当于一个探测单元,在电场力的作用下,待测分子逐一进入孔道时与每一个探测单元相互作用方式、程度与时长不同,从而形成了单个待测分子特征的迁移速度和迁移运动轨迹。在纳米孔道实验中,每秒可以有上千个待测分子穿过孔道,产生特征阻断电流信号。通过对这些信号的阻断电流、阻断时间、阻断频率、信号特征等进行统计分析,可以从"单分子电泳"水平对单个待测物实现高通量的分辨和识别。该文以Aerolysin纳米孔道分辨仅有一个核苷酸差异的寡聚核苷酸（5'-CAA-3'、5'-CAAA-3'、5'-CAAAA-3'）为例,详细阐述了纳米孔道"单分子电泳"的单核苷酸分辨能力,展现了电化学限域空间在电泳单分子水平分离技术上的应用。     

Reconfigurable Plasmonic Nanostructures Controlled by DNA Origami

Precise surface functionalization and reconfigurable capability of nanomaterials are essential to construct complex nanostructures with specific functions.Here we show tire assembly of a reconfigurable plasmonic nanostructure,which executes both conformational and plasmonic changes in response to DNA strands.In this work,different sized gold nanoparticles(AuNPs)were arranged site-specifically on the surface of a DNA origami clamp nanostructure.The opening and closing of the DNA origami clamp could be precisely controlled by a series of strand emplacement reactions.Therefore,the patterns of these AuNPs could be switched between two different configura-tions.The observed plasmon band shift indicates the change of the plasmonic interactions among the assembled AuNPs.Our study achieves the construction of reconfigurable nanomaterials with tunable plasmonic interactions,and will enrich the toolbox of DNA-based functional nanomachinery.     

Destabilization of artificial biomembrane induced by the penetration of tryptophan

The effect of tryptophan on the membrane stability was studied by using three artificial biological membranes including liposome, Langmuir monolayer and solid supported bilayer lipid membrane (s-BLM) as models. All the results indicate that the penetration of tryptophan can destabilize different artificial biological membranes. The diameter of liposome and the leakage of calcein from liposome increased with the increase of tryptophan concentration because the penetration of tryptophan was beneficial for dehydrating the polar head groups of lipids and the formation of fusion intermediates. π-A isotherms of lecithin on the subphase of tryptophan solution further confirm that tryptophan can penetrate into lipid monolayer and reduce the stability of lipid monolayer. When the concentration of tryptophan increased from 0 to 2 × 10⁻³ mol L⁻¹, the limiting molecular area of lecithin increased from 110.5 to 138.5 Å², but the collapse pressure of the monolayer decreased from 47.6 to 42.3 mN m⁻¹, indicating the destabilization of lipid monolayer caused by the penetration of tryptophan. The resistance spectra of s-BLM demonstrate that the existence of tryptophan leads to the formation of some defects in s-BLM and the destabilization of s-BLM. The values of electron-transfer resistance and double layer capacitance respectively decreased from 5.765 × 10⁶ Ω and 3.573 × 10⁻⁸ F to 1.391 × 10⁶ Ω and 3.340 × 10⁻⁸ F when the concentration of tryptophan increased from 0 to 2 × 10⁻³ mol L⁻¹. Correspondingly, the breakdown voltage of s-BLM decreased from 2.51 to 1.72 V.     

Coherent Scattering of Light by Bose-Einstein Condensation in a Tight Confinement

We have observed strong scattering of a probe light by dilute Bose-Einstein condensate （BEC） ^87Rb gas in a tight magnetic trap. The scattering light forms fringes at the image plane. It is found that we can infer the real size of the condensation and the number of the atoms by modelling the imaging system. We present a quantitative calculation of light scattering by the condensed atoms. The calculation shows that the experimental results agree well with the prediction of the generalized diffraction theory, and thus we can directly observe the phase transition of BEC in a tight trap.     

非线性物理破解神经编码机制

信息在神经系统中以脉冲点序列的形式传输和处理，神经系统如何通过脉冲点序列对所表达的信息进行编码，一直是一个谜．人们曾普遍认为，神经可能通过发放率（单位时间发放脉冲出现的次数）对信息编码，也有人猜测，神经可通过脉冲点序列的时序编码．由于神经发放的随机性，这就使得任何编码机制都面临着被表达信息的确定性与表达该信息的信号的随机性的矛盾．通过神经非线性随机动力学模型，文章作者发现，神经点序列的发放率对点序列的时序信息传输的影响，揭示了神经点序列时序信息在神经非线性传输中的随机共振特征．由此预期，并进一步通过听觉心理物理实验观察到，在一定条件下噪声对听觉的增强作用．从而通过非线性物理揭示了听觉时序编码机制的存在以及在时序编码中随机性噪声的积极作用．
