Nanoparticles have many characteristics that make them suitable for biological and medical applications. These special features cause some adverse effects. Despite the widespread use of titanium dioxide nanoparticles, few studies were conducted on the toxicity of these nanoparticles in biological systems. In this stud…
Recent progress on studies of the nanoscale mechanical responses in disordered systems has highlighted a strong degree of heterogeneity in the elastic moduli. In this contribution, using computer simulations, we study the elastic heterogeneities in athermal amorphous solids--composed of isotropic static sphere packing…
We have developed an X-ray absorption near edge structure spectroscopy method using fluorescence detection for visualizing in vivo coordination environments of metals in biological specimens. This approach, which we term fluorescence imaging XANES (φXANES), allows us to spatially depict metal-protein associations in a…
Hypoxia in solid tumors remains a challenge for conventional cancer therapeutics. As a source for resistance, metastasis development and drug bioprocessing, it influences treatment results and disease outcome. Bioreductive platinum(iv) prodrugs might be advantageous over conventional metal-based therapeutics, as biotr…
Highly organized crossed bilayer assemblies of nanowires (NWs) are made using directed hydrogen bonding between the protecting ligand shells of atomically precise cluster molecules anchored on NWs. Layers of quantum clusters remain sandwiched between two neighboring NWs at a defined distance, dictated by the core-size…
In most applications based on chemical vapor deposition (CVD) graphene, the transfer from the growth to the target substrate is a critical step for the final device performance. Manual procedures are time consuming and depend on handling skills, whereas existing automatic roll-to-roll methods work well for flexible su…
Silicon quantum dots (Si-QDs) represent a well-known QD fluorophore that can emit throughout the visible spectrum depending on the interface structure and surface functional group. Detection of nitroaromatic compounds by monitoring the luminescence response of the sensor material (typically fluorescent polymers) curre…
In the present investigation structural, electric, magnetic, and frequency dependent dielectric properties of Ni1-xCdxFe2O4 ferrite nanoparticles (NPs) (where x=0.2 , 0.4 , 0.6 , and 0.8) prepared by sol-gel autocombustion method were studied. The crystallite size ( t ) (46.89~58.40 nm) was estimated from X-ray diffra…
Nanolayered structural metallic ceramics, MAX phases, possess unique and highly attractive properties, including excellent radiation tolerance for some of them, whereas little is known about the detailed process of irradiation‐induced structural transitions. In this study, the microstructural transformations and the s…
Understanding how dynamic properties depend on the structure and thermodynamics in liquids is a long-standing open problem in condensed matter physics. A very simple approach is based on the Dzugutov contribution developed on model fluids in which a universal (i.e. species-independent) connection relates the pair exce…
Despite the industrial importance of copper oxides, the nature of the (100) surface of Cu 2 O has remained poorly understood. The surface has previously been subject to several theoretical and experimental studies, but has until now not been investigated by atomically resolved microscopy or high-resolution photoelectr…
In this paper, we demonstrate gravure printing of crumpled graphene ink to obtain a highly porous pattern of interdigitated electrodes, leading to an interdigital microsupercapacitor (MSC) on a flexible polyimide substrate. During the process of synthesizing crumpled graphene ink, Mg(OH)2 nanosheets as nanospacers wer…
Surface enhanced coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (SECARS) is a sensitive tool and promising for single molecular detection and chemical selective imaging. However, the enhancement factors (EF) were only 10~100 for colloidal silver and gold nanoparticles usually used as SECARS substrates. In this paper, we presen…
The objective of this article is to fabricate poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and nano silica (SiO2) composites and investigate effect of SiO2 on the properties of PLA composites. Surface-grafting modification was used in this study by grafting 3-Glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane (KH-560) onto the surface of silica nanoparticle…
Proteins are the most specific yet versatile biological self-assembling agents with a rich chemistry. Nevertheless, the design of new proteins with recognition capacities is still in its infancy and has seldom been exploited for the self-assembly of functional inorganic nanoparticles. Here, we report on the protein-di…
In this study, activated carbon fibers (ACFs) were prepared from liquefied wood by chemical activation with ZnCl2, with a particular focus on the effects of temperature and ZnCl2: liquefied wood-based fiber (LWF) ratio on yield, porous texture, and surface chemistry. The characterization and properties of these ACFs w…
The origin of the astonishing properties of recently discovered ultrastable nanoglasses is presently not well understood. Nanoglasses appear to exhibit density variations not common in bulk glasses and differ significantly in thermal, magnetic, biocompatible, and mechanic properties from the bulk materials of the same…
Magnesium alloys have promising mechanical and biological properties as biodegradable medical implant materials for temporary applications during bone healing or as vascular stents. Whereas conventional implants are prone to colonization by treatment resistant microbial biofilms in which bacteria are embedded in a pro…
The electronic (band) structure of polycrystalline Al 2 O 3 , in particular the density of near‐band edge grain‐boundary localized states, plays a significant role in a host of high‐temperature phenomena, including sintering, high‐temperature creep, oxygen permeability in dense “dry” Al 2 O 3 ceramics, and Al 2 O 3 sc…
Multi-spectral imaging systems typically require the cumbersome integration of disparate filtering materials and detectors in order to operate simultaneously in multiple spectral regions. Each distinct waveband must be detected at different spatial locations on a single chip or by separate chips optimised for each ban…
