Penetrators (penetrating sondes) and new possibilities for study of the planets

The fields of possible use of penetrators in space research are considered. A survey of the condition of development and plans for use of penetrators abroad is presented and an analysis is given of the significance of scientific problems when probing planets

Ion-cyclotron turbulence and diagonal double layers in a magnetospheric plasma

A survey of current concepts regarding electrostatic ion-cyclotron turbulence (theory and experiment), and regarding inclined double potential layers in the magnetospheric plasma is presented. Anomalous resistance governed by electrostatic ion-cyclotron turbulence, and one-dimensional and two-dimensional models of double electrostatic layers in the magnetospheric plasma are examined

Structural DNA Nanotechnology: Liquid-Crystalline Approach

The investigation of DNA-based materials attracts attention of scientists from various laboratories because this is definitely an emerging area in physics, molecular biology, biotechnology, biosensorics, nanobiotechnology as well as in material science. This chapter compares two different approaches in the structural DNA nanotechnology, i.e. ???hybridization??? and ???liquid-crystalline??? approaches. The chapter reviews the state-of-the art in the fundamental studies of liquid-crystalline forms of double-stranded DNA molecules generated as a result of their phase exclusion from polymer-containing water-salt solutions. The results presented in this chapter demonstrate how the fundamental data obtained when studying the physicochemical properties of doublestranded DNA liquid-crystalline dispersions can be used as a background for induction of a ???liquid??? ??? ???rigid??? state transition, i.e. for the design of novel types of ???rigid??? DNA nano-constructions carrying various ???guest??? molecules, which display unique properties of practical importance

Structural DNA Nanotechnology: Liquid-Crystalline Approach

The investigation of DNA-based materials attracts attention of scientists from various Laboratories because this is definitely an emerging area in physics, molecular biology, biotechnology, biosensorics, nanobiotechnology as well as in material science. This book compares two different approaches in the structural DNA nanotechnology, i.e. \u201chybridization\u201d approach and \u201cliquid-crystalline approach\u201d. The book reviews the state-of-the art in the fundamental studies of liquid-crystalline state of double-stranded DNA molecules appeared as a result of their phase exclusion from polymer-containing water-salt solutions. The results presented in this review demonstrate how the fundamental data obtained when studying the physico-chemical properties of doublestranded DNA liquid-crystalline dispersions can be used as a background for induction of a \u201cliquid\u201d- \u201crigid\u201d state transition, i.e. for the design of novel types of \u201crigid\u201d DNA nanoconstructions carrying various \u201cguest\u201d molecules which display unique properties of practical importance
