Special Topic on Francisella tularensis and Tularemia

sensory and regulatory factors described for the pathogen, particularly in view of its proven ability to survive in a multitude of environmental niches. However, it is also noted that there has been rapid progress in elucidating the gene regulation and identifying novel regulatory factors. One reason for recent, rapid progress in understanding the genetics of F. tularensis has been the developm...

Introduction to the special topic on nanomanufacturing

The semiconductor industry introduced sub-100-nanometer technology to consumers more than a decade ago, in the early 2000s. The field of ‘nanotechnology’ has since expanded rapidly, drawing on methods and materials from integrated electronics while adding many others, such as quantum dots, nanowires and self-assembly, and targeting applications in optoelectronics, biomedical devices, sensors, f...

Introduction: Special Topic Forum on Time

Preface: Special Topic on Reaction Pathways.

This Special Topic Issue on Reaction Pathways collects original research articles illustrating the state of the art in the development and application of methods to describe complex chemical systems in terms of relatively simple mechanisms and collective coordinates. A broad range of applications is presented, spanning the sub-fields of biophysics and material science, in an attempt to showcase...

Preface: Special Topic on Multidimensional Spectroscopy.

Multidimensional signals are generated by subjecting molecules to sequences of short optical pulses and recording correlation plots related to the various controlled delay periods. These techniques which span all the way from the THz to the x-ray regimes provide qualitatively new structural and dynamical molecular information not available from conventional one-dimensional techniques. This issu...
