One-dimensional nanomaterials may organize into macrostructures to have hierarchically porous structures, which could not only be easily adopted into various water treatment apparatus to solve the separation issue of nanomaterials from water but also take full advantage of their nanosize effect for enhanced water trea…

We have explored the polarization behavior of MoS2at three different wavelengths using a polymer-based waveguide. The MoS2-coated waveguide has been fabricated based on the drop casting method. The maximum polarization extinction ratio of 12.6 dB that is achieved at 980 nm is considered to be the highest, to the best…

The utility of peptide therapeutics is thwarted by an inability to enter cells, preventing access to crucial intracellular targets. Herein, we describe a simple and potentially widely applicable solution involving the polymerization of a minimally modified amino acid sequence into a high density brush polymer. Specifi…

We genetically modified tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) to surface display a characterized peptide with potent metal ion binding and reducing capacity (MBP TMV), and demonstrate that unlike wild type TMV, this construct can lead to the formation of discrete 10-40 nm gold nanoparticles when mixed with 3 mM potassium tetrach…

The optical properties of metallic nanoparticles with nanometre dimensions exhibit features that cannot be described by classical electrodynamics. In this quantum size regime, the near-field properties are significantly modified and depend strongly on the geometric arrangements. However, simulating realistically sized…

Use of ferroelectric domain-walls in future electronics requires that they are stable, rewritable conducting channels. Here we demonstrate nonthermally activated metallic-like conduction in nominally uncharged, bent, rewritable ferroelectric-ferroelastic domain-walls of the ubiquitous ferroelectric Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 using s…

In this work, we designed a robust and heparin-mimetic hydrogel thin film coating via combined layer-by-layer (LbL) self-assembly and mussel-inspired post-cross-linking. Dopamine-grafted heparin-like/-mimetic polymers (DA-g-HepLP) with abundant carboxylic and sulfonic groups were synthesized by the conjugation of adhe…

The wide use of titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) in industrial applications requires the investigation of their effects on human health. In this context, we investigated the effects of nanosized and bulk titania in two different crystalline forms (anatase and rutile) in vitro. By colony forming efficiency ass…

Polymeric antifogging/frost-resisting coatings are suitable for use on flexible substrates but are vulnerable to accidental scratches and cuts. To solve this problem, we present the fabrication of healable, highly transparent antifogging and frost-resisting polymeric coatings via the layer-by-layer assembly of poly(et…

We develop a theoretical model, relying on the well established sp3 bond-orbital theory, to describe the strain-induced $χ^{(2)}$ in tetrahedrally coordinated centrosymmetric covalent crystals, like silicon. With this approach we are able to describe every component of the $χ^{(2)}$ tensor in terms of a linear combina…

We report the detailed transport, magnetic, thermodynamic properties and theoretical calculation of KBi2 single crystals in superconducting and normal states. KBi2 shows metallic behavior at normal state and enters superconducting state below Tc = 3.573 K. Moreover, KBi2 exhibits low critical fields in all of measurem…

In weakly ferromagnetic materials, already small changes in the atomic configuration triggered by temperature or chemistry can alter the magnetic interactions responsible for the non-random atomic-spin orientation. Different magnetic states, in turn, can give rise to substantially different macroscopic properties. A c…

We report a systematic study of coherent spin precession and spin dephasing in electron-doped monolayer MoS2. Using time-resolved Kerr rotation spectroscopy and applied in-plane magnetic fields, a nanosecond time scale Larmor spin precession signal commensurate with g-factor |g0| ≃ 1.86 is observed in several differen…

Flows of suspensions are often affected by wall slip, that is the fluid velocity $v_{f}$ in the vicinity of a boundary differs from the wall velocity $v_{w}$ due to the presence of a lubrication layer. While the slip velocity $v_s=\vert v_{f}-v_{w}\vert$ robustly scales linearly with the stress $σ$ at the wall in dilu…
