Tubular scaffolds with controllable fiber orientations are fabricated by electrospinning with a conductive rotating drum in the presence of a parallel or orthogonal conductive wire. A higher rotational speed of the drum results in thinner fibers and a more aligned fibrous structure. The fiber orientation can be furthe…

We developed a Bayesian method to extract macromolecular structure information from sparse single-molecule x-ray free-electron laser diffraction images. The method addresses two possible scenarios. First, using a "seed" structural model, the molecular orientation is determined for each of the provided diffraction imag…

The nanostructure can collapse due to elasto-capillary interactions. On the basis of free energy analysis for three cases, the contact between double beams can be induced by equilibrium contact or instability. In the former mechanism, the beam contact can be achieved by a gradual increase of deformation with increasin…

The surface of nanoparticles governs the overall properties of the nanoparticles because nanoparticles have a large surface-to-volume ratio. Charge, crystallinity, and chemical properties (such as hydrophilicity) of surfaces determine the stability, structure, and reactivity of nanoparticles. In this respect, it is es…
