We numerically and experimentally demonstrated a metamaterial perfect absorber (MPA) in MHz region based on a planar sandwiched metal-dielectric-metal structure. First, the single-peak perfect absorption was obtained at 400 MHz. The ratios of the periodicity of unit cells and the thickness to the absorption wavelength…
Spiders store spidroins in their silk glands as high concentration aqueous solutions, spinning these dopes into fibres with outstanding mechanical properties. Aciniform (or wrapping) silk is the toughest spider silk and is devoid of the short amino acid sequence motifs characteristic of the other spidroins. Using solu…
Silica deposition by diatoms, a common component of the phytoplankton, has attracted considerable interest given the importance in ecology and materials science. There has recently been a great deal of research into the biological control of biosilicifcation, yet the in vivo physical and chemical effects have not been…
A series of [Au2 (nixantphos)2](X)2 (nixantphos=4,6-bis(diphenylphosphino)-phenoxazine; X=NO3, 1; CF3 COO, 2; CF3 SO3, 3; [Au(CN)2], 4; and BF4, 5) complexes that exhibit intriguing anion-switchable and stimuli-responsive luminescent photophysical properties have been synthesized and characterized. Depending on their…
BINoculars is a tool for data reduction and analysis of large sets of surface diffraction data that have been acquired with a two-dimensional X-ray detector. The intensity of each pixel of a two-dimensional detector is projected onto a three-dimensional grid in reciprocal-lattice coordinates using a binning algorithm.…
Ultrastable foams are made very simply by adding salt (NaCl or KCl) to sodium dodecyl sulfate. The addition of high concentrations of salt leads to the precipitation of the surfactant on the bubble surfaces and as crystals in the interstices between the bubbles. As a consequence, the ageing of the foams is stopped to…
A computational SCC-DFTB investigation dealing with the structure of hydrated and anhydrous halloysite nanotubes with a spiral geometry is reported. The peculiar characteristics of these systems are described in terms of tetrahedral and octahedral distortions, of hydrogen bonds geometries involving water molecules and…
Carbendazim (MBC) is a fungicide widely used in agriculture, and there are serious concerns regarding the health risks that could be caused by this fungicide. Here, we explore its ultrasensitive detection by surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). First, to obtain maximum SERS signal, the adsorption of the target mo…
Nanocrystals composed of CuS that exhibit semimetallic behavior are capable of supporting localized surface plasmon resonances in the near-infrared wavelengths. A major challenge in utilizing these nanocrystals for plasmonic applications is the ability to accurately control their nanoscale morphology and chemical comp…
Recently, it has been demonstrated that martensitic transformation in nanocrystalline shape memory alloys can be suppressed for small grain sizes. Motivated by these results, we study the grain size dependence of martensitic transformations and stress-strain response of nanocrystalline shape memory alloys within the f…
Protein-dense liquid clusters are regions of high protein concentration that have been observed in solutions of several proteins. The typical cluster size varies from several tens to several hundreds of nanometres and their volume fraction remains below 10(-3) of the solution. According to the two-step mechanism of nu…
Artificial nacre-like composite films of graphene oxide (GO) with a variety of commercially available water-soluble polymers were fabricated by a gel-film transformation (GFT) technique. The blending of a polymer into the aqueous dispersion of GO can modulate the interaction between GO sheets. Typically, the attractio…
Abstract An alkynyl‐protected gold nanocluster [Au24(CCPh)14(PPh3)4](SbF6)2 has been prepared by a direct reduction method. Single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction reveals that the molecular structure contains a Au22 core that is made of two Au13‐centered cuboctahedra that share a square face. Two staple‐like PhCCAuCCPh…
The liquid crystal dimer 1ʺ,7ʺ-bis(4-cyanobiphenyl-4ʹ-yl) heptane (CB7CB) has been shown to possess a nematic–nematic phase transition at 376 K. The phase below this temperature has been identified as a globally uniaxial twist-bend nematic phase, NTB. Within the temperature range 376–388 K, a classic uniaxial nematic…
Plasmonic toroidal resonance has attracted growing interests because of its low loss electromagnetic properties and potential high sensitive nanophotonic applications. However, the realization in a metamaterial requires three-dimensional complicated structural design so far. In this paper, we design a simple metal-die…
The proposed Fusion Nuclear Science Facility (FNSF) represents the first facility to enter the complex fusion nuclear regime, and its technical mission and attributes are being developed. The FNSF represents one part of the fusion energy development pathway to the first commercial power plant with other major componen…
We design and investigate a triple-band plasmonic metamaterial absorber (PMA) for sensor application. The underlying mechanism is investigated theoretically and numerically. Three characteristic absorption peaks are demonstrated to be induced by different plasmonic modes which lead to different responses for the plasm…
Controlled stacking of different two-dimensional (2D) atomic layers will greatly expand the family of 2D materials and broaden their applications. A novel approach for synthesizing MoS2 /WS2 heterostructures by chemical vapor deposition has been developed. The successful synthesis of pristine MoS2 /WS2 heterostructure…
A robust reusable fluoride sensor comprised of a receptor in charge of the chemical recognition and a fluorophore responsible for signal recognition has been designed. Highly fluorescent carbon quantum dot (CD) and magnetically separable nickel ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) complex bound-silica coated magneti…
An integrated experimental and computational investigation reveals that surface lattice oxygen of copper oxide (CuO) nanoleaves activates the formyl C-H bond in glucose and incorporates itself into the glucose molecule to oxidize it to gluconic acid. The reduced CuO catalyst regains its structure, morphology, and acti…
