I want to start a new thread story. Not sure how long it will be and I may use different prompts: #vss365 #vssmagic #vssnature etc etc ... I love reading about legends and folk lore, and in my fantasy writing I often create my own myths. So this will be just a fun exercise...

According to #lore &myths of old,griffins nestled on these cliffs long ago. They swooped down on the unsuspecting;carried them off never to be seen again.
Griffins were not elemental creatures,but air & earth did have dominion over them; their only enemy -fire.

"I helped your troupe avoid #shadow and #gore," said the dark wizard simply, implying that he saved us from the mythical griffins. I gaped at him. "And now for what you promised."

"No," I was careful not to get trapped in words, "I said: after you summon her."

1/9 Could graphene coverslips improve your single-molecule fluorescence and superresolution experiments? In our article in @AdvancedAms we combine #DNAorigami with #graphene to perform #singlemolecule #biophysics, #biosensing & #superresolution microscopy.

2/9 Graphene is almost transparent and quenches fluorescence in a range of ~40 nm. Fluorescence intensity or fluorescence lifetime of single molecules directly tell you the distance of a molecule to the surface. Differences in the z-direction as small as 2.9 nm are resolved.

3/9 Dynamics with graphene energy transfer (GET). We use GET to visualize motion on top of a graphene surface and determine the timescale of fluctuations via autocorrelation analysis.
