High-speed optical module is demonstrated using silicon photonics integrated circuits (Si-PIC) by compact packaging on ceramic submount of which size is 4 mm × 21 mm × 1.1 mm. The electronic integrated circuits (EIC) such as transimpedance amplifier (TIA) for photodetector and driver IC for modulator are flip-chip bonded on the submount using 1 mil diameter of Au stud bumps. The optical transceiver is packaged through the flip-chip bonding of the packaged submount by SAC solders on the evaluation PCB on which RF signal transmission lines are precisely designed. The reliable flip-chip bonding state of the EICs and submount are verified through shear test and X-ray image. Eye diagram is demonstrated at 20 Gbps for receiver module.

We report our measurements of the dynamics of histonelike nucleoid-structuring (H-NS) proteins, which interact with both proteins and DNA simultaneously, in live Escherichia coli bacteria. The dynamics turn out to differ significantly from other molecules reported previously. A power-law distribution was observed for the diffusion coefficients of individual H-NS proteins. In addition, we observed a distribution of displacements which does not follow the Gaussian, Cauchy, or Laplace distributions but the Pearson Type VII distribution. Furthermore, we experimentally measured the time and frequency dependence of the complex modulus of the bacterial cytoplasm, which deviates from the viscoelasticity of homogeneous protein solutions and shows a glass-liquid transition. Last, we observed that the dynamics of H-NS proteins is cell length and cell age dependent. The findings are expected to fundamentally change the current views on bacterial cytoplasm and diffusional dynamics of molecules in bacteria.

We report our development of a simple and cost-effective method to amplify and probe the interactions of DNA with metal ions, which are important for various fundamental processes in living systems. This method is based on perturbing energy landscapes using mechanical energy stored in bent DNA molecules. In this proof-of-principle study, the mechanical-energy-based amplifiers were applied to examine the interactions between DNA and Mg2+ ions or Ag+ ions. We demonstrated that interactions between DNA and Mg2+ or Ag+ ions, which are not detectable using gel electrophoresis without amplification, can be easily measured using our molecular amplifiers. In addition, we showed that quantitative details about the DNA-metal interactions can be estimated using our method. Our method is simple, sensitive, and cost-effective. We expect that the developed method will be useful for various applications.
