controlling spin angular momentum with the field of light

short pulses of light allow controlling electrons in solids with superb precision and outstanding speed now reaching the subfemtosecond timescale yet our ability to act on the angular momentum of materials at these ultrafast time scales is surprisingly close to inexistent this is because very little is known about direct firstorder coherent interactions between the electromagnetic field of light and angular momentum predictions show that these interactions are extraordinarily complex and comprise components of fundamentally different nature originating from quantum manybody effects relativistic quantum electrodynamics or symmetry breaking these coherent phenomena however have yet to be directly captured the proposed research aims at unveiling this class of direct lightspin interactions for the first time my strategy relies on the use of the shortest pulses of light available today attosecond pulses employed to probe systems which selectively enhance different components of the coherent response we will establish spectroscopic schemes building upon mature stateoftheart attosecond technology providing clearcut evidence of phenomena which are in the blind spot of current approaches two control scenarios will be explored in the first one ultrashort pulses will redistribute angular momentum among the system constituents on subfemtosecond timescales in the second the spin angular momentum of light pulses itself will be imparted to matter thereby coherently controlling the magnetic and topological properties of materials we aim to answer key fundamental questions reaching across several disciplines of physics because spin angular momentum in solids is intimately related to magnetism and topology spinfield will also provide a decisive blueprint guiding the design of a new generation of devices that can be optically controlled and switched at unrivaled speeds

controlling pervasive transcription

the human genome is pervasively transcribed producing rna from 8090 of its dna yet only a small fraction of transcripts result in the generation of functional rnas instead the majority of transcription initiation events are prematurely terminated and the resulting rna is targeted by decay pathways how cells determine which rnas to degrade vs which to prepare for functional tasks is a central question interestingly new data from my host laboratory that motivates this application suggest that nonproductive transcription events are correlated with low transcription initiation levels ie lowly transcribed rnas appear to be more susceptible to early termination and ensuing rapid degradation transcription termination in these instances is conducted by either integrator int complex or components interacting with ars2 transcription termination factor in the present project i will investigate the mechanisms underlying this relationship which could possibly rationalize how cells keep their spurious transcription under control considering the association of int and ars2 mutations with cancer and neurological diseases my results might also pave the way for therapeutic interventionsprevious approaches utilizing targeted transcription repressionactivation by crispria approach are based on absolute onoff transcription from the selected loci without the ability to finetune the transcription at a predicted level here i will utilise newly reported mismatch guide rnacrisprdcas9 to manipulate initiation to defined levels and hereby establish a tuneable system to assay the fate of rnas expressed from weaker vs stronger promoters i will then exploit this system to address the molecular mechanism dictating genome control based on transcription initiation levels the findings of my project will be of interest to many disciplines of the scientific community in that it might help explain how genome expression is sorted at a higher order level
