    • Femtosecond optoinjection of intact tobacco BY-2 cells using a reconfigurable photoporation platform 

      Mitchell, C.A.; Kalies, S.; Cizmár, T.; Heisterkamp, A.; Torrance, L.; Roberts, A.G.; Gunn-Moore, F.J.; Dholakia, K. (2013-11-14) - Journal article
      A tightly-focused ultrashort pulsed laser beam incident upon a cell membrane has previously been shown to transiently increase cell membrane permeability while maintaining the viability of the cell, a technique known as ...

    • Exploring the ultrashort pulse laser parameter space for membrane permeabilisation in mammalian cells. 

      Rudhall, Andrew Peter; Antkowiak, Maciej; Tsampoula, Xanthi; Mazilu, Michael; Metzger, N Klaus; Gunn-Moore, Frank J; Dholakia, Kishan (2012) - Journal article
      The use of ultrashort femtosecond pulsed lasers to effect membrane permeabilisation and initiate both optoinjection and transfection of cells has recently seen immense interest. We investigate femtosecond laser-induced ...

    • Refined characterization of student perspectives on quantum physics 

      Baily, Charles; Finkelstein, Noah D. (2010-09-16) - Journal article
      The perspectives of introductory classical physics students can often negatively influence how those students later interpret quantum phenomena when taking an introductory course in modern physics. A detailed exploration ...

    • Interpretive themes in quantum physics : curriculum development and outcomes 

      Baily, Charles; Finkelstein, Noah D. (American Institute of Physics, 2012-02-06) - Conference item
      A common learning goal for modern physics instructors is for students to recognize a difference between the experimental uncertainty of classical physics and the fundamental uncertainty of quantum mechanics. Our prior work ...

    • Development of quantum perspectives in modern physics 

      Baily, Charles; Finkelstein, Noah D. (2009-03-23) - Journal article
      Introductory undergraduate courses in classical physics stress a perspective that can be characterized as realist; from this perspective, all physical properties of a classical system can be simultaneously specified and ...
