    Abstract: Provided are methods for synthesizing metal nanowires in solution using an organic reducing agent. A reaction mixture can be provided in solution with a metal salt, the organic reducing agent, and a solvent, where the solvent includes a surface ligand or consists of a surface ligand. The organic reducing agent, such as benzoin, can be decomposed in the reaction mixture to form organic free radicals that reduce metal ions of the metal salt into metal. The surface ligand of the solvent can coordinate with the metal in a manner so that metal nanowires are formed in solution. The diameter and morphology of the nanowires, reaction speed, reaction yield, and other features may be tunable by adjusting parameters such as reaction temperature and chemistry of the reducing agent.

    Abstract: Some embodiments of the present disclosure include a digital-to-analog conversion system configured to reduce inter-symbol interference (ISI) in high-speed continuous-time DACs. The system can include a main DAC with multiple sub-DACs, each configured to process a portion of a digital input sequence and generate part of an output waveform. To address ISI errors introduced by the sub-DACs, the system can include an ISI mitigation feedback loop. The ISI mitigation feedback loop can include an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that generates a digital sequence from the output waveform and an analog correction signal generated by a correction DAC. A fractional decimation filter can be used to adjust a sampling rate and attenuate high-frequency components. A digital error estimator can generate an error cancellation sequence by correlating encoder information with the input sequence. The correction DAC can use the error cancellation sequence to generate the analog correction signal.

    Abstract: Provided are methods of analyzing capped ribonucleic acids (RNAs). The methods include translocating an adapted RNA through a nanopore of a nanopore device. The adapted RNA includes an RNA region, a 5′ cap, and an adapter polynucleotide attached to the 5′ cap. The methods include monitoring ionic current through the nanopore during the translocating, translocating the 5′ cap through the nanopore, and identifying one or more ionic current features characteristic of the 5′ cap (e.g., a triphosphate linkage between the 5′ cap and nucleotide N1 of the RNA region, a 5′ to 5′ orientation of the 5′ cap and nucleotide N1 of the RNA region, and/or the like), translocating through the nanopore. Also provided are computer-readable media, computer devices, and systems that find use, e.g., in practicing the methods of the present disclosure.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to two-dimensional and three-dimensional cultures of cells, the cultures comprising one or a plurality of enteric neurons and/or one or a plurality of enteric glial cells. These cells and cultures can be used for screening compounds for neurologically active compounds, for transplantation into subjects for animal models, and for administration to a subject with a gut motility disorder.
