In this paper, we proposed the use of gold nanoparticles as plasmon scattering probes for dark-field multiplex imaging of live cancer cells. By carefully engineering the surfaces, aqueous dispersions of anti-EGFR antibody-conjugated gold nanospheres and gold nanorods are prepared. We demonstrated the receptor-mediated…
ABSTRACT This paper addresses the preparation of polyaniline (PANI) via a rapid mixing method in which a nanosheet (nanoflake) structure was observed by scanning electron microscopy. The microstructures of acid‐ and ammonia‐dedoped PANI samples were studied by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The effects of po…
Magnetism in graphene is an emerging field that has received much theoretical attention. In particular, there have been exciting predictions for induced magnetism through proximity to a ferromagnetic insulator as well as through localized dopants and defects. Here, the authors discuss their experimental work using mol…
We re-examine the wave function of two-dimensional massless Dirac electron in alpha-(BEDT-TTF)2I3 consisting of four molecules A, A', B and C in a unit cell, using a tight-binding model. We find zerolines in the Brillouin zone, on which the component of the wave function becomes zero for B or C sites. The zerolines, w…
Silver nanoparticles have been widely reported in literature due to their vast industrial application in different areas. In this work, we explored a simple procedure for the biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles at room temperature from the action of Curvularia inaequalis as reduction agent. The degree of aggregation…
We introduce the concept of furtive quantum sensing, demonstrating the possibility of concealing quantum objects from matter waves while maintaining their ability to interact and to get excited by the impinging particles. This is obtained by cloaking, with tailored homogeneous metamaterial layers, quantum systems havi…
Herein, we report the rational design of a DEVD-based heptapeptide hydrogelator 1 which is susceptible to caspase-3 (CASP3), and its isomeric control hydrogelator 2 with a DEDV-based heptapeptide sequence. Self-assembly of 1 in water results in flexuous, long nanofibers to form supramolecular hydrogel I with higher me…
In this study, the anti-tumor activity of mitoxantrone loaded on magnetic nanoparticles (MTMP) was examined using DU145 prostate cancer cells. Composite nanoparticles with an average size of 20 nm were prepared using a chemical co-precipitation technique. The MTMP nanoparticles were cytotoxic to DU145 cells and inhibi…
We are reporting the results of density functional calculations of the electronic structure of finite graphene nanoribbons adsorbed on Au, Pd, and Ti electrodes. While the interaction of nanoribbons with the Au contact is more characteristic of a physisorbed state, the adsorption of Pd and Ti involves much stronger st…
The self-assembly and gelating characteristics of a set of N-alkyl-(R)-12-hydroxyoctadecylammonium salts (n-HOA-X, where n = 0-6, 18 is the length of the alkyl chain on nitrogen, X = Cl, n = 3, and X = Br, NO3, and BF4) are described. Solid-solid phase transitions were observed for powders of n-HOA-Cl, and orthorhombi…
We have developed a simple and efficient approach to synthesize Ni@Au core‐shell nanostructures using the simple redox transmetalation reaction. The as‐synthesized nanomaterial with clean and reproducible properties was used as the surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate. In addition, these nanostructures a…
An expanded set of compounds of the type [W(S2C2Me2)2L1L2](n) (n = 0: L1 = L2 = CO, 1; L1 = L2 = CN(t)Bu, 2; L1 = CO, L2 = carbene, 3; L1 = CO, L2 = phosphine, 4; L1 = L2 = phosphine, 5. n = 2-: L1 = L2 = CN(-), [6](2-)) has been synthesized and characterized. Despite isoelectronic formulations, the compound set revea…
This paper reports our investigation of the existence of physical cross-links in modified polypropylenes (PPs) containing long chain branches (LCBPPs) or amine moiety (PP- g -NH 2 ). By varying the stoichiometric ratio of maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene (PP- g -MAH) and ethylenediamine (EDA), a series of modifi…
We show that, using phase-field simulations, large voltage-driven perpendicular magnetic domain switching can be realized in magnetic-ferroelectric nanoislands with relieved substrate constraint, which is difficult in continuous multiferroic layered thin films due to significant substrate clamping. The as-grown magnet…
We investigate the influence of gas pressure on the growth of horizontally aligned single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) on R-cut and r-cut crystal quartz substrates by alcohol catalytic chemical vapor deposition (CVD). The density of horizontally aligned SWCNTs was found to depend highly on gas pressure. A study of…
It is an essential issue in graphene-based nanoelectronic and optoelectronic devices to tune the electrical properties of graphene layers, while preserving its unique band structure. Here, we report the tuning of electronic properties of single-, bi-, and trilayer mechanically exfoliated graphenes by p-toluenesulfonic…
Evolution of the structural and magnetic properties of ZnFe 1.95 Yb 0.05 O 4 nanoparticles, prepared via a high-energy ball milling route and exposed to further thermal annealing/heating, was assessed in detail and correlation of these properties explored. While as-prepared spinel nanoparticles possess a high degree o…
High-grade cellulose (97% α-cellulose content) of 48% crystallinity index was extracted from the renewable marine biomass waste Posidonia oceanica using H2O2 and organic peracids following an environmentally friendly and chlorine-free process. This cellulose appeared as a new high-grade cellulose of waste origin quite…
Owing to the genetic flexibility and error-free bulk production, bio-nanostructures such as filamentous phage showed great potential in materials synthesis, however, their photo-responsive behaviour is neither explored nor unveiled. Here we show M13 phage genetically engineered with tyrosine residues precisely fused t…
Background: In the past decade, considerable attention has been paid for the development of novel strategies for the synthesis of different kind of nano-objects. Most of the current strategies are usually working by the use physical or chemical principles to develop a myriad of nano-objects with multiple applications.…
