Leveraging the features of GstLAL pipeline, we present results a matched filtering search for asymmetric binary black hole systems with heavily misaligned spins in LIGO and Virgo data taken during third observing run. Our target show strong imprints precession whereas current searches have nonoptimal sensitivity detecting them. After measuring improvement brought by our over standard spin-aligned searches, report detection 30 gravitational wave events already discovered latest version...

Dissolved polymer can drive the reversible adhesion of living bacteria on a non-adhesive surface, defeating underlying surface character.

Motivated by observations of cell orientation at biofilm–substrate interfaces and reports that adhesion play important roles in biofilm evolution function, we investigated the influence surface chemistry on Escherichia coli cells captured from flow onto surfaces were cationic, hydrophobic, or anionic. We characterized initial orientations nonmotile gentle shear relative to directions. The broad distribution observed cationic suggests rapid electrostatic attractions oppositely charged...

When bacteria adhere to surfaces, the chemical and mechanical character of cell–substrate interface guides cell function development microcolonies biofilms. Alternately on bactericidal intimate contact is critical biofilm prevention. The direct study buried interfaces at heart these behaviors hindered by small bacterial size inaccessibility region. Here, we present a total internal reflectance fluorescence depletion approach measure region quantify gap separation curvature near zone,...
