Innovation technologique Liliane Bettencourt (2022-2023) - Lydéric BocquetCollège de FranceAnnée 2022-2023Colloque - La nanofluidique à la croisée des chemins : New Approaches in Nanofluidics: Carbon Nanotubes Mechanical ResonatorsI will present our work in the direction of combining mechanical resonator and nanofluidic channel with a carbon nanotube.First, I will discuss how mechanical resonators will allow to answer, experimentally, open questions in the nanofluidic community about the structure of water, the phase diagram and the mechanism behind the fast flow observed in carbon nanotube. Second, I will show that SU8 microfluidic allows to combine antagonist worlds of fluidics (ambient pressure) and mechanics (secondary vacuum). Such devices can sustain large water pressure up to 5 bars and do not degrade over time. Porosity of SU8 is equal or better to PDMS, the standard in fluidics. Moving to carbon nanotube nanomechanical resonators, I will show that they exhibit exquisite mass sensitivity down to 70 yg, even at room temperature. This feature is observed in several devices, making it a reliable asset. I will discuss the limitations to the sensitivity in terms of thermomechanical noise, frequency fluctuations, etc.Finally, I will demonstrate that electrons in carbon nanotubes can distinguish water adsorbed on the surface of the nanotube from water confined inside the nanotube.Again, this feature is reproducible in several devices and independent of the metallicity of the nanotube.Adrien NouryAdrien Noury received his PhD in Physics (Photonics and Material Sciences) in 2014 from Univ. Paris Sud, on carbon nanotubes hybrid photonics. He then joined the group of Adrian Bachtold in ICFO Barcelona to work on quantum electromechanics with graphene drums, and later Helium superfluids on nanotube mechanical resonator. Since 2017 he is CNRS researcher in L2C, Montpellier, where he started and led the Nanomechanics group. His research focuses on harnessing the exceptional sensitivity of nanotube mechanical resonators in order to adress challenging questions in Physics.

Abstract: The diverse electrical, chemical and structural properties of the functional derivatives of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have shown biomedical possibilities for neuroprosthesis or neural interfaces. However, the studies have been generally confined to metallic CNTs that affect cell viability unless chemically functionalized for biocompatibility. Here, we explored the effects of semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (ssw-CNT), on the active electrical properties of dissociated hippocampal neurons in-vitro using multielectrode array, calcium imaging and whole-cell patch clamp recordings. The findings show that ssw-CNT treatment regulates neural network excitability from burst to tonic firing by changing the calcium dynamics. However, at a single neuronal level, ssw-CNT increases neuronal excitability. Copy rights belong to original authors. Visit the link for more info Podcast created by Paper Player, LLC

Abstract: Cell-to-cell communication it is a fundamental mechanism by which unicellular and multicellular organisms maintain relevant functions as development or homeostasis. Tunneling nanotubes (TNTs) are a type of contact-mediated cell-to-cell communication defined by being membranous structures based on actin that allow the exchange of different cellular material. TNTs have been shown to have unique structural features compared with other cellular protrusions and to contain the cell adhesion molecule N-Cadherin. Here, we investigated the possible role of N-Cadherin and of its primary linker to the actin cytoskeleton, alpha-Catenin in regulating the formation and transfer function of TNTs. Our data indicate that N-Cadherin through its downstream effector alpha-Catenin is a major regulator of TNT formation, ultrastructure, as well as of their ability to transfer material to other cells.

Abstract: Tunneling nanotubes (TNTs) are open actin- and membrane-based channels, connecting remote cells and allowing direct transfer of cellular material (e.g. vesicles, mRNAs, protein aggregates) from cytoplasm to cytoplasm. Although they are important especially in pathological conditions (e.g., cancers, neurodegenerative diseases), their precise composition and their regulation were still poorly described. Here, using a biochemical approach allowing to separate TNTs from cell bodies and from extracellular vesicles and particles (EVPs), we obtained the full composition of TNTs compared to EVPs. We then focused to two major components of our proteomic data, the CD9 and CD81 tetraspanins, and further investigated their specific roles in TNT formation and function. We show that these two tetraspanins have distinct functions: CD9 participates in the initiation of TNTs, whereas CD81 expression is required to allow the functional transfer of vesicle in the newly formed TNTs, possibly by regulating fusion with the opposing cell.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2022.12.13.519450v1?rss=1 Authors: Chakraborty, R., Zurzolo, C. Abstract: Tunneling Nanotubes (TNTs) facilitate contact-mediated intercellular communication over long distances. Material transfer via TNTs can range from ions and intracellular organelles to protein aggregates and pathogens. Prion-like toxic protein aggregates accumulating in several disorders, such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and Huntington's diseases have been shown to spread via TNTs not only between neurons, but also between neurons-astrocytes, and neurons-pericytes, indicating the importance of TNTs in mediating neuron-glia interactions. TNT-like structures were also reported between microglia, however their roles in neuron-microglia interaction remain elusive. In this work, we quantitatively characterise microglial TNTs and their cytoskeletal composition, and demonstrate that TNTs form between human neuronal and microglial cells. We show that -Synuclein (-Syn) aggregates increase the global TNT-mediated connectivity between cells, along with the number of TNT connections per cell pair. Homotypic TNTs formed between microglial cells, and heterotypic TNTs between neuronal and microglial cells are furthermore shown to be functional, allowing movement of both -Syn and mitochondria. Quantitative analysis shows that -Syn aggregates are transferred predominantly from neuronal to microglial cells, possibly as a mechanism to relieve the burden of accumulated aggregates. By contrast, microglia transfer mitochondria preferably to -Syn burdened neuronal cells over the healthy ones, likely as a potential rescue mechanism. Besides describing novel TNT-mediated communication between neurons and microglia, this work allows us to better understand the cellular mechanisms of spreading of neurodegenerative diseases, shedding light on the role of microglia.

In the mid-1980s, the discovery of complex carbon molecules drifting through the interstellar medium garnered significant attention, with possibly the most famous examples being Buckminsterfullerene, or “buckyballs” – spheres consisting of 60 or 70 carbon atoms. However, scientists have struggled to understand how these molecules can form in space. In a paper accepted for publication in the Journal of Physical Chemistry A, researchers from the University of Arizona suggest a surprisingly simple explanation. Do dying stars seed the interstellar medium? After exposing silicon carbide – a common ingredient of dust grains in planetary nebulae – to conditions similar to those found around dying stars, the researchers observed the spontaneous formation of carbon nanotubes, which are highly structured rod-like molecules consisting of multiple layers of carbon sheets. The findings were presented on June 16 at the 240th Meeting of the American Astronomical Society in Pasadena, California. Led by UArizona researcher Jacob Bernal, the work builds on research published in 2019, when the group showed that they could create buckyballs using the same experimental setup. The work suggests that buckyballs and carbon nanotubes could form when the silicon carbide dust made by dying stars is hit by high temperatures, shock waves and high-energy particles, leaching silicon from the surface and leaving carbon behind. The findings support the idea that dying stars may seed the interstellar medium with nanotubes and possibly other complex carbon molecules. The results have implications for astrobiology, as they provide a mechanism for concentrating carbon that could then be transported to planetary systems. “We know from infrared observations that buckyballs populate the interstellar medium,” said Bernal, a postdoctoral research associate in the UArizona Lunar and Planetary Laboratory. “The big problem has been explaining how these massive, complex carbon molecules could possibly form in an environment saturated with hydrogen, which is what you typically have around a dying star.” The formation of carbon-rich molecules, let alone species containing pure carbon, in the presence of hydrogen is virtually impossible due to thermodynamic laws. The new study findings offer an alternative scenario: Instead of assembling individual carbon atoms, buckyballs and nanotubes could result by simply rearranging the structure of graphene – single-layered carbon sheets that are known to form on the surface of heated silicon carbide grains. This is exactly what Bernal and his co-authors observed when they heated commercially available silicon carbide samples to temperatures occurring in dying or dead stars and imaged them. As the temperature approached 1,050 degrees Celsius, small hemispherical structures with the approximate size of about 1 nanometer were observed at the grain surface. Within minutes of continued heating, the spherical buds began to grow into rod-like structures, containing several graphene layers with curvature and dimensions indicating a tubular form. The resulting nanotubules ranged from about 3 to 4 nanometers in length and width, larger than buckyballs. The largest imaged specimens were comprised of more than four layers of graphitic carbon. During the heating experiment, the tubes were observed to wiggle before budding off the surface and getting sucked into the vacuum surrounding the sample. “We were surprised we could make these extraordinary structures,” Bernal said. “Chemically, our nanotubes are very simple, but they are extremely beautiful.” Named after their resemblance to architectural works by Richard Buckminster Fuller, fullerenes are the largest molecules currently known to occur in interstellar space, which for decades was believed to be devoid of any molecules containing more than a few atoms, 10 at most. It is now well established that the fullerenes C60 and C70, which contain 60 or 70 carbon atoms, respectively, are common ing...

When the pandemic temporarily shut down her home inspection business, Jessie Tait started looking for a way to give back to the community. She wanted to feel useful in a time of need, so she began volunteering to clean police vehicles at her local precinct. She felt like she was doing good work, but she didn’t like the fact that the traditional sanitizing methods she used only meant that the vehicle was clean until someone sick came in contact with it. Was it possible that there was a product that could protect an area for a longer period of time? She decided to find out.Hours and hours of research and many phone calls later, Jessie finally landed on a company that supplied a product that could last up to 90 days. The product uses nanotechnology to form a protective barrier on almost any surface to kill germs on contact without the use of harsh chemicals and cleaners. Jessie immediately formed a contractual relationship with the supplier, and her company, Enspra, was born. Today, Enspra performs disinfectant and antimicrobial nano-coating applications for both residential and commercial customers. Jessie’s company is also able to conduct on-site efficacy testing for the presence of microbes, as well as help organizations create pandemic response and mitigation plans.If you have any questions or if you’d like to chat, you can reach me at my contact info below.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2020.11.11.378026v1?rss=1 Authors: Suvlu, D., Thirumalai, D., Rasaiah, J. C. Abstract: Water-mediated interactions (WMIs) play diverse roles in molecular biology. They are particularly relevant in geometrically confined spaces such as the interior of the chaperonin, at the interface between ligands and their binding partners, and in the ribosome tunnel. Inspired in part by the geometry of the ribosome tunnel, we consider confinement effects on the stability of peptides. We describe results from replica exchange molecular dynamics simulations of a system containing a 23-alanine or 23-serine polypeptide confined to non-polar and polar nanotubes in the gas phase and when open to a water reservoir. We quantify the effect of water in determining the preferred conformational states of these polypeptides by calculating the difference in the solvation free energy for the helix and coil states in the open nanotube in the two phases. Our simulations reveal several possibilities. We find that nanoscopic confinement preferentially stabilizes the helical state of polypeptides with hydrophobic side chains, which is explained by the entropic stabilization mechanism proposed on the basis of polymer physics. Polypeptide chains with hydrophilic side chains can adopt helical structures within nanotubes, but helix formation is sensitive to the nature of the nanotube due to WMIs. We elaborate on the potential implications of our findings to the stability of peptides in the ribosome tunnel. Copy rights belong to original authors. Visit the link for more info

When it comes to materials design, carbon nanotubes are a big area of experimentation and design. Think of them as very small pasta and, under the right conditions, can be pulled and molded into nearly any shape. Then can be woven together like thread to form fabrics. But, these fabrics are incredibly strong and lightweight. We've seen them used to lighten heavy parts of planes, boats, and more. But Canatu is using them in a new way.One aspect of carbon nanotubes is that they can be great electrical conductors. That means that you can run power across them. But, any time you run electricity, you create heat - sometimes a small amount, sometimes a large amount. In the case of carbon nanotubes, the heat produced is slight, but useful. When combined with certain existing products, that heat can be used to make the products better.Take, for example, the sensor in your car that determines if the roads are safe enough to use cruise control in the cold. Those sensors can freeze over themselves and produce a false reading. But, if you include the carbon nanotubes into the sensor's design, or as a covering over the top of the electronics, you can keep the sensor from icing over, protecting your driving.Another great use is on airplanes. The leading edge of the wing can also ice over, causing unexpected behavior. Currently, planes have various ways to deal with the problem, but all of them add weight to the plane, which equates to more fuel usage per flight. But, the lightweight nature of the carbon nanotube fabrics means that, by covering the leading edge of the wing, you can keep it ice-free with minimal additional weight.To learn more about how Canatu is using carbon nanotubes and other materials, check out their website.Interview by Todd Cochrane of Geek News Central.Sponsored by: Get $5 to protect your credit card information online with Privacy.
