2017 journal article

Molecular machines open cell membranes

Nature, 548(7669), 567–572.

By: V. García-López *, F. Chen n, L. Nilewski *, G. Duret *, A. Aliyan *, A. Kolomeisky*, J. Robinson *, G. Wang n, R. Pal *, J. Tour *

MeSH headings : Animals; Cell Membrane / chemistry; Cell Membrane / metabolism; Cell Survival; Diffusion; HEK293 Cells; Humans; Infrared Rays; Lipid Bilayers / chemistry; Lipid Bilayers / metabolism; Mice; Molecular Motor Proteins / metabolism; Molecular Motor Proteins / radiation effects; Movement / radiation effects; NIH 3T3 Cells; Nanotechnology; Necrosis; Patch-Clamp Techniques; Photons; Rotation; Ultraviolet Rays
topics (OpenAlex): Photoreceptor and optogenetics research; Micro and Nano Robotics; Lipid Membrane Structure and Behavior
TL;DR: Molecular machines can drill through cellular bilayers using their molecular-scale actuation, specifically nanomechanical action and it is expected that molecular machines could also be used in vivo, especially as their design progresses to allow two-photon, near-infrared and radio-frequency activation.

ELECTROPHORESIS, 37(15-16), 2129–2138.

By: F. Chen n, B. Neupane n, P. Li n, W. Su  n & G. Wang n

author keywords: Confined diffusion; Confocal fluorescence microscopy; Cylindrical nanopores; Fluorescence correlation spectroscopy
MeSH headings : Diffusion; Hydrodynamics; Models, Theoretical; Molecular Dynamics Simulation; Nanoparticles / chemistry; Porosity; Spectrometry, Fluorescence / methods
topics (OpenAlex): Spectroscopy and Quantum Chemical Studies; Material Dynamics and Properties; Advanced Fluorescence Microscopy Techniques
TL;DR: The feasibility of using confocal fluorescence correlation spectroscopy to study small nanoparticle diffusion in hundred‐nanometer‐sized cylindrical pores is explored and two diffusion dynamics can be observed in both original intensity traces and the autocorrelation functions (ACFs).

2016 journal article

Microscopic Movement of Slow-Diffusing Nanoparticles in Cylindrical Nanopores Studied with Three-Dimensional Tracking

ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY, 88(10), 5122–5130.

By: L. Zhao n, Y. Zhong n, Y. Wei n, N. Ortiz n, F. Chen n & G. Wang n

topics (OpenAlex): Nanopore and Nanochannel Transport Studies; Spectroscopy and Quantum Chemical Studies; NMR spectroscopy and applications
TL;DR: This study shows that it is possible to differentiate slow diffusion in confined environments caused by different mechanisms, and that the particles in sticky pores are microscopically active by showing limited reduction of step sizes. (via Semantic Scholar)

Nanosecond Time-Resolution Study of Gold Nanorod Rotation at the Liquid-Solid Interface

CHEMPHYSCHEM, 17(14), 2218–2224.

By: B. Neupane n, F. Chen n, Y. Wei n, N. Fang *, F. Ligler n & G. Wang n

author keywords: adsorption; fluctuation correlation spectroscopy; gold nanorods; rotation; surface plasmon resonance
topics (OpenAlex): Surfactants and Colloidal Systems; Gold and Silver Nanoparticles Synthesis and Applications; Electrostatics and Colloid Interactions
TL;DR: This nanosecond time-resolution study reveals that the apparent continuous rotation of gold nanorods actually consists of numerous fast, intermittent rotations or transitions between a small number of weakly immobilized states, with the particle resting in the immobilization states most of the time.

2015 journal article

Unimolecular Submersible Nanomachines. Synthesis, Actuation, and Monitoring

NANO LETTERS, 15(12), 8229–8239.

By: V. Garcia-Lopez, P. Chiang, F. Chen n, G. Ruan, A. Marti, A. Kolomeisky, G. Wang n, J. Tour

author keywords: Unimolecular submersible nanomachines; light-driven motor; diffusion coefficient; fluorophores
MeSH headings : Fluorescent Dyes; Nanotechnology; Spectrometry, Fluorescence / methods; Ultraviolet Rays
topics (OpenAlex): Micro and Nano Robotics; Molecular Communication and Nanonetworks; Nanopore and Nanochannel Transport Studies
TL;DR: Through careful design of control molecules with no motor and with a slow motor, it is found using single molecule fluorescence correlation spectroscopy that only the molecules with fast rotating speed show an enhancement in diffusion by 26% when the motor is fully activated by UV light.
