Inspired by ultrastructural analysis of ex vivo human tissues as well as the physiological importance of structural density, we fabricated nanogrooves with 1:1, 1:3, and 1:5 spacing ratio (width:spacing, width = 550 nm). In response to the nanotopographical density, the adhesion, migration, and differentiation of huma…
Metallic silver (Ag) and its ability to combat infection have been known since ancient history. In the wake of nanotechnology advancement, silver’s efficacy to fight broad spectrum bacterial infections is further improved in the form of Ag nanoparticles (NPs). Recent studies have ascribed the broad spectrum antimicrob…
The excited-state behavior of luminescent gold clusters provides new insights in understanding their photocatalytic activity in the visible region. The excited state of glutathione-protected gold nanoclusters (AuGSH), which is characterized by the long-lived excited state (τ = 780 ns), arises from the ligand-to-metal…
We utilize CdSe/CdS seeded nanorods as a tunable lumophore for luminescent concentration. Transfer-printed, ultrathin crystalline Si solar cells are embedded directly into the luminescent concentrator, allowing the study of luminescent concentrators with an area over 5000 times the area of the solar cell. By increasin…
We describe a method for synthesizing large-area and uniform molybdenum disulfide films, with control over the layer number, on insulating substrates using a gas phase sulfuric precursor (H2S) and a molybdenum metal source. The metal layer thickness was varied to effectively control the number of layers (2 to 12) pres…
We review here recent progress on epitaxial graphene grown on a SiC substrate. Epitaxial graphene can be easily grown by heating the SiC single crystal in a high vacuum or in an inert gas atmosphere. The SiC surfaces used for graphene growth contain Si- and C-terminated faces. On the Si-face, homogeneous and clean gra…
A series of Cu doped Zn–In–S quantum dots (Cu:Zn–In–S d-dots) were synthesized via a one-pot noninjection synthetic approach by heating up a mixture of corresponding metal acetate salts and sulfur powder together with dodecanethiol in oleylamine media. After overcoating the ZnS shell around the Cu:Zn–In–S d-dot cores…
This chapter briefl y describes conventional and microwave-assisted chemical fixation methods, as well as cryo-specimen preparation techniques for studying the cellular and organelle ultrastructure of plant tissues under transmission electron microscopy. The general methods and procedures for the plant specimen prepar…
The optical properties of metal nanomaterials are determined by a set of parameters that include composition, particle size and shape, overall architecture, and local environment. This Tutorial Review examines the influence of each of these factors on the localized surface plasmon resonance of colloidal metal nanopart…
The homeostasis of body temperature and energy balance is one of the major principles in biology. Nanoscale thermometry of aqueous solutions is a challenging but crucial technique to understand the molecular basis of this essential process. Here, we developed a ratiometric nanothermometer (RNT) for intracellular tempe…
We have performed a comprehensive first-principles study of the electronic and magnetic properties of two-dimensional (2D) transition-metal dichalcogenide (TMD) heterobilayers MX2/MoS2 (M = Mo, Cr, W, Fe, V; X = S, Se). For M = Mo, Cr, W; X = S, Se, all heterobilayers show semiconducting characteristics with an indire…
Temporal and spatial changes in neurotransmitter concentrations are central to information processing in neural networks. Therefore, biosensors for neurotransmitters are essential tools for neuroscience. In this work, we applied a new technique, corona phase molecular recognition (CoPhMoRe), to identify adsorbed polym…
Deep-ultraviolet nonlinear optical (deep-UV NLO) crystals are of worldwide interest for the generation of coherent light with wavelength below 200 nm by the direct second-harmonic generation (SHG) output from solid-state lasers. The unprecedented deep-UV NLO phosphates representing their own structure types, Ba3P3O10C…

Recent advances in nanoparticle technology have enabled the fabrication of nanoparticle classes with unique sizes, shapes and materials, which in turn has facilitated major advancements in the field of nanomedicine. More specifically, in the last decade, nanoscientists have recognized that nanomedicine exhibits a high…
Recently a new, large family of two-dimensional (2D) early transition metal carbides and carbonitrides, called MXenes, was discovered. MXenes are produced by selective etching of the A element from the MAX phases, which are metallically conductive, layered solids connected by strong metallic, ionic, and covalent bonds…
Photoinduced charge separation from porphyrin (P) to benzoquinone (Q) moieties covalently attached to the opposite chain ends of poly(methacrylic acid) (PMMA) was studied. The effect of polymer chain length, pH and ionic strength of the aqueous solution on the rate constant of charge separation and efficiency of P+• -…
Abstract In this paper the size-dependence of energy relaxation, which is induced by the electron-phonon (e-ph) interactions and the electron-surface (e-s) interactions in noble metal nanoparticles, is investigated. Then based on the analysis and the derivation of the e-s coupling constant in metal nanospheres, the fo…
Foaming studies on poly(3‐hydroxybutyrate‐ co ‐3‐hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) were performed to evaluate the potential impact of nitrogen gas solubility on foam microstructure and properties. It was found that there was a step change from low to high cell density below and above a specific pressure threshold. This pressure…
Highly conductive PPy/graphite nanosheets/rare earth ions (PPy/nanoG/RE 3+ ) composites were prepared via in‐situ polymerization with p‐toluenesulfonic acid as a dopant and FeCl 3 as an oxidant. The microstructures of nanoG and PPy/nanoG/RE 3+ were characterized by the SEM and TEM examinations. It was found that nanoG…
