Examples

  • Others in the lab doubted that you could patent a sheet of metal with holes drilled in it, but it gradually became clear that the holes, dubbed zero-mode wave guides, were ideally suited to capturing and then reading tiny signals of light.

  • This mass operator then has a Weyl fermion as a zero-mode localised at s equal to zero, and with the other modes being heavy; they become infinitely massive and decouple in the limit where a certain parameter is sent to infinity and one is left with the usual Weyl fermion action.

  • Here we use zero-mode waveguides (ZMWs) and sophisticated detection instrumentation to allow real-time observation of translation at physiologically relevant micromolar ligand concentrations.

  • Ease of use: the platform seems to have a very straightforward user experience: samples go in one drawer, sequencing cartridges (arrays of zero-mode wave guides) in another drawer, and robotic fluid-handling systems inside the machine take care of the rest.
