    Abstract: The present invention discloses a scintillator structure and to a method for producing an output optical signal at a specific wavelength range. The scintillator structure comprises a multilayer nanostructure formed by at least one pair of alternating first and second layered material being arranged along one or more principal axes. The multi-layer nanostructure defines predetermined geometrical parameters and the structure is made of at least two different material compositions. At least one of the first layered material, the second layered material, or the combination of both, define scintillation properties. The invention also discloses a detector system for detecting an input radiation comprising a scintillator structure being as defined above and being configured and operable to collect most of the emitted optical signal.

    Abstract: A device comprising: plurality of Stationary Nanoliter Droplet Array (SNDA) components; each SNDA component comprising: at least one primary channel; at least one secondary channel; and a plurality of nano-wells that are each open to the primary channel and are each connected by one or more vents to the secondary channel; the vents are configured to enable passage of air solely from the nano-wells to the secondary channel, such that when a liquid is introduced into the primary channel it fills the nano-wells, and the originally accommodated air is evacuated via the vents and the secondary channel/s; an inlet port and a distribution channel configured to enable a simultaneous introduction of the liquid into all primary channels; and an outlet port and an evacuation channel configured to enable a simultaneous evacuation of the air out of all the secondary channels.

    Abstract: A data storage system and method are provided, as well as systems and methods for fabrication, and writing and reading of data therein. The data storage system includes at least one population of molecular sequences including chains of basic molecular building-blocks, and defining at least one respective data-block encoding data in the data storage system. The data of the data-block is encoded in a sequence S=(π1, π2, . . . , πk . . . , πK-1, πK) of encoded letters {πk} associated with an alphabet Σ≡{σm}|m=1 to M, which are encoded according to the types of basic molecular building-blocks appearing at k respective location along storage segments of the molecular sequences of the population. The molecular sequences include a number Z of different types of basic molecular building-blocks {En}|n=1 to Z, while the alphabet Σ has a size M strictly greater than the number Z of types of building-blocks. Each alphabet letter σm is associated with a vector {Pmn}|n=1 to Z indicative of occurrences of basic molecular building-block En of type n in the alphabet letter σm. Accordingly each encoded letter πk at location k in the storage segments of molecular sequences of the data-block/population, is mapped to a corresponding alphabet letter σm by determining a match between the occurrence of basic molecular building-blocks of different types at that locations k of the molecular sequences of the population, with the vector {Pmn}|n=1 to Z associated with the alphabet letter σm. In some implementations the component Pmn of the vector {Pmn}m|n=1 to Z associated with alphabet letter σm is indicative of a probability that a basic molecular building-block En of type n, 1≤n≤Z, appears at the location k of the storage segment of a molecular strand of the at least one population in case the letter πk encoded at that location k corresponds to the alphabet letter σm.
