EPFL researchers have developed a light-based method that can produce proteins that switch states, respond to signals, and even compute, using light and the cell cycle.

Their specificity for the host is partly achieved by specific host adhesion mechanisms. As adhesins are required for the first step of colonization, they also constitute key virulence factors and have ...

Photonic crystals are periodic optical structures that can control the flow of light. Multiple reflections from surfaces separated by a distance similar to the wavelength prevent an optical beam from ...
