As a result of ever increasing applications, nanoparticles will eventually end up in the environment. However, currently no common principle has been established to help understand the toxicity of nanoparticles (NPs) across species. Therefore, it is difficult to estimate the potential risks of nanoparticles to unteste…

It is possible to construct fully periodically distributed objects with a diffraction pattern identical to the one obtained for quasicrystals. These objects are probability distributions of distances obtained in the statistical approach to aperiodic structures distributed periodically. The diffraction patterns have be…

We introduce a formulation for normal mode analyses of globular proteins that significantly improves on an earlier one-parameter formulation [M. M. Tirion, Phys. Rev. Lett. 77, 1905 (1996)] that characterized the slow modes associated with protein data bank structures. Here we develop that empirical potential function…

Abstract The chlorination of β‐halo or β,β‐dihaloporphyrins with 2‐chloro‐1,3‐bis(methoxycarbonyl)guanidine (Palau′Chlor) proceeded selectively at the neighboring unsubstituted meso position to afford meso,β‐dihalo or meso,β,β‐trihaloporphyrins. Such oligohaloporphyrins are useful platforms for constructing more‐elabo…

We study the transport properties of a twisted bilayer graphene flake contacted by two monolayer nanoribbons which act as leads. We analyze the conductance in terms of the spectra of the bilayer nanoribbon and the monolayer contacts. The low-energy transport properties are governed by the edge states with AB stacking.…
