Abstract Li2CuO2 was used for the CO2 chemisorption process. Li2CuO2 was thermally treated under a flux of CO2, dynamically (from 25 to 1000 °C) and isothermically. The results clearly showed that Li2CuO2 is able to chemisorb CO2 in a wider range of temperatures than those presented by other lithium ceramics. Therefor…
Third-generation (G3) poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers are simulated approaching 1,2-dimyristoyl- sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DMPC) bilayers with fully atomistic molecular dynamics, which enables the calculation of a free energy profile along the approach coordinate. Three different dendrimer terminations are exam…
Resistivity and piezoelectric response of individual ZnO nanorods were measured using scanning force microscopy. We found a variation in resistivity of 3 orders of magnitude, from 0.1 to 155 Omegacm and in piezoelectric coefficient ranging from 0.4 to 9.5 pm/V in ZnO nanorods grown from solution at the same time on th…
We describe the preparation by electrodeposition of arrays of lead telluride (PbTe) nanowires using the lithographically patterned nanowire electrodeposition (LPNE) method. PbTe nanowires had a rectangular cross-section with adjustable width and height ranging between 60-400 nm (w) and 20-100 nm (h). The characterizat…
The molecular structures and enthalpy release of poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers binding to 1,2-dimyristoyl- sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DMPC) bilayers were explored through atomistic molecular dynamics. Three PAMAM dendrimer terminations were examined: protonated primary amine, neutral acetamide, and deprotonate…
Members of the adenylate-forming family of enzymes play a role in the metabolism of halogenated aromatics and of short, medium, and long chain fatty acids, as well as in the biosynthesis of menaquinone, peptide antibiotics, and peptide siderophores. This family includes a subfamily of acyl- and aryl-CoA ligases that c…
We present a conceptual design for an innovative infrared cross-dispersed spectrograph for the NASA Infrared Telescope Facility (IRTF) at Mauna Kea. This facility-class instrument will provide a resolving power of up to 80,000 at 1.2-2.5 μm and 67,000 at 3-5 μm with a minimum slit width of 0.25". The instrument…
The development of novel macromolecular contrast agents that offer enhanced relaxivity profiles at high magnetic fields have the potential to greatly improve the diagnosis, understanding, and treatment of disease. To this end, we have designed a monodiperse paramagnetic beta-cyclodextrin click cluster decorated with s…
Thiol monolayer-protected Au clusters (MPCs) were prepared using dendrimer templates, deposited onto a high-surface-area titania, and then the thiol stabilizers were removed under H2/N2. The resulting Au catalysts were characterized with transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and infrared…
Here, we describe the fast and mass fabrication of monazite lanthanum orthophosphate (LaPO 4 ) nanoparticles via a simple sol−gel method under the assistance of microwave irradiation. The procedure involves formation of homogeneous, transparent, metal−citrate−EDTA gel precursors using both citric acid (CA) and ethylen…
We report the formation of standing mesochannels simply by spin-coating a precursor solution onto a PAA (porous anodic alumina) substrate with designed conical holes, utilizing exactly the same precursors and reaction conditions that form two-dimensional (2D) hexagonal mesoporous SBA-15-type films. When the aspect rat…
Silver−poly(acrylate) clusters have been synthesized in water by reduction of AgNO 3 in the presence of poly(acrylates) of different molecular weights through two different methods, NaBH 4 reduction and UV exposure. The structure of the clusters and the effect of the synthesis parameters on the size and polydispersity…
We report the results of a set of simulations of small arrays of submicron ferromagnetic particles. The actions of dipolar and exchange interactions were qualitatively investigated by analysing the ferromagnetic resonance spectra at 9.37 GHz resulting from the magnetization response of con- nected and unconnected part…
We conducted pharmacokinetic and toxicology studies on Quantum Dot 705 (QD705) in male ICR mice for up to 6 months after a single intravenous dose. Time-course sacrifices were carried out at 1, 4, and 24 h; 3, 7, 14, and 28 days; and 6 months on groups of six mice per time point. Mass balance studies were also carried…
The synergy of the unique properties of carbon nanotubes (CNT) with the remarkable potential of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSC) provides an exciting opportunity for novel therapeutic modalities. However, little is known about the impact of CNT on hMSC behavior. We report the effect of CNT on hMSC renewal, metaboli…
Well-aligned ZnO nanowire (NW) arrays with durable and reproducible p-type conductivity were synthesized on alpha-sapphire substrates by using N2O as a dopant source via vapor-liquid-solid growth. The nitrogen-doped ZnO NWs are single-crystalline and grown predominantly along the [110] direction, in contrast to the [0…
Silica is a promising carrier material for nanoparticle-facilitated drug delivery, gene therapy, and molecular imaging. Understanding of their pharmacokinetics is important to resolve bioapplicability issues. Here we report an extensive study on bare and lipid-coated silica nanoparticles in mice. Results obtained by u…
We study the polarization dependence of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) in coupled gold nanoparticle-nanowire systems. The coupling between the continuous nanowire plasmons and the localized nanoparticle plasmons results in significant field enhancements and SERS enhancements comparable to those found in nano…
We present theoretical evidence, based on total-energy first-principles calculations, of the existence of spin-polarized states well localized at and extended along the edges of bare zigzag boron nitride nanoribbons. Our calculations predict that all the magnetic configurations studied in this work are thermally acces…
A weak acid selective etching strategy was put forward to fabricate oxide-based hollow nanoparticles (HNPs) using core/shell nanostructures of active metal/oxide nanoparticles as sacrificial templates. ZnO-based HNPs, including pure ZnO, Au/ZnO, Pt/ZnO, and Au/Pt/ZnO HNPs with diameter below 50 nm and shell thickness…
