| 82 | 2024 Annual Report over pits in the substrate. Relatively large fluctuations were observed upon repeated measurements at the same point both in supported and suspended samples. In bilayer graphene samples, the repeatability is reduced due to additional fluctuations in the twist angle between two misoriented layers. The average position of the RS lines is shifted in opposite directions, which makes it possible to distinguish between bilayer and monolayer films despite the similarity in the RS spectra.

Prof. Shohat-Ophir Galit The Mina & Everard Goodman Faculty of Life Sciences Studying Neural Mechanisms Underlying the Formation of Gradual Motivation Research Areas • Neurobiology Abstract Motivation is the process that initiates, guides and maintains goal-oriented behavior, which includes the biological forces that activate behavior. Our lab tries to bridge the gap between behavioral phenomena and the cellular machinery that encodes information on gradual changes in drive level and decodes it into a graded behavior. Localization of RNA molecules at a nanoscale resolution within Neuropeptide F neurons. In collaboration with Shahar Alon’s lab.

Prof. Shpaisman Hagay Department of Chemistry Directed Materials Assembly Research Areas • Directed assembly • Composites and hybrid materials • 3D Printing • Polymerization & phase separation processes • Holographic Optical Tweezers (HOT) • Standing acoustic waves • Microfluidics Abstract We develop novel concepts based on the idea that forces arising from light, acoustic waves and flow can be used to influence the products of ongoing chemical reactions. These forces dictate the spatial distribution of the materials, and their mesoscopic structure could allow the formation of new composite materials. These approaches have many benefits compared to other "bottomup" methods for material assembly that
