BACKGROUND: Non-viral methods of gene delivery, especially using polyethylenimine (PEI), have been widely used in gene therapy or DNA vaccination. However, the PEI system has its own drawbacks, which limits its applications. METHODS: We have developed a novel non-viral delivery system based on PEI coated on the surfac…

All Xcited: At low temperatures, an intense beam of hard X-rays excites photoswitchable molecular spin-crossover systems to generate metastable high-spin states (see picture). These states have spectroscopic properties similar to those of the states generated by light-induced excited-spin-state trapping. The new appro…

A noncontact scanning probe microscopy method of probing local frequency-dependent dielectric spectroscopy is described. Dielectric spectra can be measured with this technique from 0.01to100Hz, in nanometer-scale near-surface regions of materials. The technique is applied to polymer films (polyvinyl acetate), in order…

Abstract Silica nanoparticles (17 ± 4 nm in diameter) were modified by grafting polystyrene chains to the surfaces using atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). The molecular weight of the grafted chains ranged from 8 to 48 kDa. These modified nanoparticles were mixed in solution with poly(styrene) homopolymer (1…

Abstract FT‐Raman spectra were obtained for thiophenol (TP) and TP on gold nanoparticles. All vibrational fundamentals for the TP molecule are assigned on the basis of the scaled quantum force field procedure. Three model systems are studied and compared for the interactions of TP with the Au atom: (1) TP with a Au at…

Slow, nonequilibrium dynamics during delayed sedimentation in a colloidal depletion gel was studied by x-ray photon correlation spectroscopy. The intermediate scattering functions change during the process from stretched to compressed exponential decays, indicating a jamming transition toward full aging. A complex agi…

The high density hole doping (1.7×1021cm−3) for a wide gap (Eg=∼2.8eV) p-type semiconductor was achieved on 40nm thick Mg-doped LaCuOSe epitaxial films. These films exhibited distinct free carrier absorption, and the effective mass and momentum relaxation time were analyzed. Its small hole mobility [∼3.5cm2∕(Vs)] comp…

Substrate stiffness is an important physical factor in the response of many cell types. Although protein-based hydrogels are widely used as cell-culture substrates because of their resemblance to the natural extracellular matrix (ECM) and complex signaling, their rigidity should be further increased to facilitate the…

On the turn: Torsional strain has been used to control the pitch of helical nanostructures in the range of tens to hundreds of nanometers. In this method, sterically induced torsional strain on the primary helices forces the secondary helices into superhelices, with the pitch tunable depending on the magnitude of the…
