We report the results of experiments on the application of electric fields across thin, dry films of a bacteriorhodopsin (BR) analog pigment in which the retinal chromophore has been replaced with
In the D85N mutant of the protein bacteriorhodopsin (BR), the Schiff base, by which the retinal chromophore is bound to the protein, exhibits an abnormally low proton affinity (p K-a = 8.9).
Past investigations of electric-field modulation of the normal- state and superconducting properties of thin films are reviewed and compared with recent work on amorphous-composite In/InO sub x th
When condensed droplets coalesce on a superhydrophobic nanostructured surface, the resulting droplet can jump due to the conversion of excess surface energy into kinetic energy.

Diffusion mediated electrical activation of boron implanted in Si at 10 sup (15) cm sup (-2) dose and energies from 500 eV to 1 keV, which involves B-Si clusters, was examined over a wide variation
The advantages of GaAs on Si technology have now been well recognized, and fabrication of a variety of new device structures in this material has been demonstrated.
In this paper a non-linear model for a two degree-of-freedom (2dof) vibrational energy harvester is presented, together with its experimental validation.
The influence of the metal-insulator transition on the spin- glass transition in W-Mn alloys was studied by measuring the magnetic properties of W-Mn-O films as a function of oxygen content for va
During the past few years, apparatus which transfers electrical into acoustical or mechanical energy has received wide application.
