The concept of ankylography, which under certain circumstances enables 3D structure determination from a single view [1], had ignited a lively debate even before its publication [2,3]. Since then, a number of readers requested the ankylographic reconstruction codes from us. To facilitate a better understanding of ankylography, we posted the source codes of the ankylographic reconstruction on a public website and encouraged interested readers to download the codes and test the method [4]. Those who have tested our codes confirm that the principle of ankylography works. Furthermore, our mathematical analysis and numerical simulations suggest that, for a continuous object with array size of 14x14x14 voxels, its 3D structure can usually be reconstructed from the diffraction intensities sampled on a spherical shell of 1 voxel thick [4]. In some cases where the object does not have very dense structure, ankylography can be applied to reconstruct its 3D image with array size of 25x25x25 voxels [4]. What remains to be elucidated is how to extend ankylography to the reconstruction of larger objects, and what further theoretical, experimental and algorithm developments will be necessary to make ankylography a practical and useful imaging tool. Here we present our up-to-date understanding of the potential and challenge of ankylography. Further, we clarify some misconceptions on ankylography, and respond to technical comments raised by Wei [5] and Wang et al. [6] Finally, it is worthwhile to point out that the potential for recovering 3D information from the Fourier coefficients within a spherical shell may also find application in other fields.

Three-dimensional (3D) imaging techniques appeal to a broad range of scientific and industrial applications. Typically, projection slice theorem enables multiple two-dimensional (2D) projections of an object to be combined in the Fourier domain to yi eld a 3D image. However, traditional techniques require a significant number of projections. The significant number of views required in conventional tomography not only complicates such imaging modalities, but also limits their ability to image samples that are sensitive to radiation dose or are otherwise unstable in time. In this work, we demonstrate through numerical simulations and an eigenvalue analysis that a recently developed technique called ankylography enables 3D image reconstruction using much fewer views than conventional tomography. Such a technique with the ability to obtain the 3D structure information from a few views is expected to find applications in both optical and x-ray imaging fields.
The electrostatic potential profile of a spherical soft particle is derived by solving the Poisson-Boltzmann equations on a spherical system both numerically and analytically. The soft particle is assumed to consist of an ion-permeable charged outer layer and a non-permeable charged core with constant charged density. The contribution of the core to the potential profile is calculated for different charges and dielectric constants. Our results show that the charged core heavily influences the local potential within the soft particle. In contrast, the potential distribution outside the particle in the salt solution is found to be weakly dependent on the core features. These findings are consistent with previous experiments showing the minor impact of the core of the MS2 virus on its overall electrical properties. Our studies also indicate that while a change in temperature from 290 K to 310 K only slightly varies the potential, the ionic strength in the range of 1-600 mM has a significant effect on the potential profile. Our studies would provide good understanding for experimental research in the field of biophysics and nanomedicine.
Fluorescent nanodiamonds are attracting major attention in the field of bio-sensing and biolabeling. In this work we demonstrate a robust approach to surface functionalize individual nanodiamonds with metal-phenolic networks that enhance the photolum inescence from single nitrogen vacancy (NV) centers. We show that single NV centres in the coated nanodiamonds also exhibit shorter lifetimes, opening another channel for high resolution sensing. We propose that the nanodiamond encapsulation suppresses the non-radiative decay pathways of the NV color centers. Our results provide a versatile and assessable way to enhance photoluminescence from nanodiamond defects that can be used in a variety of sensing and imaging applications

Motivated by the famous Waddingtons epigenetic landscape metaphor in developmental biology, biophysicists and applied mathematicians made different proposals to realize this metaphor in a rationalized way. We adopt comprehensive perspectives to syste matically investigate three different but closely related realizations in recent literature: namely the potential landscape theory from the steady state distribution of stochastic differential equations (SDEs), the quasi-potential from the large deviation theory, and the construction through SDE decomposition and A-type integral.The connections among these theories are established in this paper. We demonstrate that the quasi-potential is the zero noise limit of the potential landscape. We also show that the potential function in the third proposal coincides with the quasi-potential. The most probable transition path by minimizing the Onsager-Machlup or Freidlin-Wentzell action functional is discussed as well. Furthermore, we compare the difference between local and global quasi-potential through the exchange of limit order for time and noise amplitude. As a consequence of such explorations, we arrive at the existence result for the SDE decomposition while deny its uniqueness in general cases. It is also clarified that the A-type integral is more appropriate to be applied to the decomposed SDEs rather than the original one. Our results contribute to a better understanding of existing landscape theories for biological systems.
We present a novel method for Ankylography: three-dimensional structure reconstruction from a single shot diffraction intensity pattern. Our approach allows reconstruction of objects containing many more details than was ever demonstrated, in a faster and more accurate fashion
