All-optical switching of holographic gratings made of polymer-liquid-crystal-polymer slices containing azo-compounds
We present the observation of an all-optical switching effect that takes place when a light beam of suitable wavelength irradiates a “layered” structure made of polymer slices alternated t...

The interaction of the cold atmospheric plasma jet with fibroblast cells was studied. Plasma jet was initiated in the helium flow blowing through the syringe by application of high ac voltage to the discharge electrodes. The plasma jet had a length of 5  cm and a diameter of 1.5–2  mm in ambient air. Treatment of cells with plasma jet resulted in decreasing of cell migration rate, cell detachment, and appearance of “frozen” cells, while treatment with helium flow (no plasma) resulted in appearance of frozen cells only. A variety of cellular responses was explained by different intensities of treatment. ©2008 American Institute of Physics
