    • Bright and Fast Multicoloured Voltage Reporters via Electrochromic FRET 

      Zou, Peng; Zhao, Yongxin; Douglass, Adam D.; Hochbaum, Daniel Ron; Brinks, Daan; Werley, Christopher A; Harrison, D. Jed; Campbell, Robert E.; Cohen, Adam Ezra (Nature Publishing Group, 2014)
      Genetically encoded fluorescent reporters of membrane potential promise to reveal aspects of neural function not detectable by other means. We present a palette of multicoloured brightly fluorescent genetically encoded ...

    • Electron Uptake by Iron-Oxidizing Phototrophic Bacteria 

      Bose, Arpita; Gardel, Emily Jeanette; Vidoudez, Charles; Parra, Erika; Girguis, Peter R. (Nature Publishing Group, 2014)
      Oxidation–reduction reactions underlie energy generation in nearly all life forms. Although most organisms use soluble oxidants and reductants, some microbes can access solid-phase materials as electron-acceptors or -donors ...

    • Probing Single- to Multi-Cell Level Charge Transport in Geobacter Sulfurreducens DL-1 

      Jiang, Xiaocheng; Hu, Jinsong; Petersen, Emily R.; Fitzgerald, Lisa A.; Jackan, Charles S.; Lieber, Alexander M.; Ringeisen, Bradley R.; Lieber, Charles M.; Biffinger, Justin C. (Nature Publishing Group, 2013)
      Microbial fuel cells, in which living microorganisms convert chemical energy into electricity, represent a potentially sustainable energy technology for the future. Here we report the single-bacterium level current ...
