Molecular machines constructed from multichromophore arrays
… that leads to controlled formation of triple-decker structures. Model diporphyrins, linked through flexible spacers, are smoothly metallated with lanthanum. Complementary phthalocyanine macrocycles are then easily inserted, giving high yields of triple decker molecules. The synthesis and …

Generation of human inner ear organoids from pluripotent stem cells and an organ-on-chip platform
… platforms such as organoid-on-a-chip (triple-decker inserts) to enable high-resolution time-lapse imaging of the inner ear vesicles. This provides a useful tool to study inner ear diseases and aids in the discovery of safe and precise therapies.

Barracuda: The power of l-polling in proof of stake blockchains
… under a stochastic network model inspired by Decker and Wattenhofer (2013). We also show via simulations that Barracuda is robust to several real-world factors in the network model.

An analytical investigation of a Panhard rod restraint for beam-axle vehicle suspensions
… of the roll plane dynamics of a modern high-decker highway bus. A nonlinear kineto-static model of the candidate vehicle is first developed and analyzed to investigate the variations in the coordinates of the suspension roll center and the sprung mass gravity center, the effective roll …
