In the area of cell-surface engineering with nanomaterials, the metabolic and functional activities of the encapsulated cells are manipulated and controlled by various parameters of the artificial shells that encase the cells, such as stiffness and elasticity, thickness, and porosity. The mechanical durability and phy…
A new type of a metasurface, known as a continuous metasurface, having only one trapezoidal antenna within a super cell, is proposed. Markedly different from previously reported discrete metasurfaces having multiple discrete antennas within a super cell, continuous metasurfaces can provide a continuously varying phase…
The transition temperatures of molecular ferroelectrics are usually lower than those of inorganic ferroelectrics due to weaker electron–electron and electron–phonon interactions in molecular ferroelectrics. Therefore, above-room-temperature molecular ferroelectrics are very rare which hinders their application in mode…
A series of cobalt-doped germanium clusters, CoGe(n)(-/0) (n=2-11), are investigated by using anion photoelectron spectroscopy combined with density functional theory calculations. For both anionic and neutral CoGe(n) (n=2-11) clusters, the critical size of the transition from exo- to endohedral structures is n=9. Nat…
We report a kinetic study of Ag nanoparticles (AgNPs) under acidic environments (i.e., pH 2.3 to pH ≈7) and systematically investigate the impact of protein interactions [i.e., bovine serum albumin (BSA) as representative] to the colloidal stability of AgNPs. Electrospray-differential mobility analysis (ES-DMA) was us…
The controlled assembly of superatomic nanocluster ions synthesized in the gas phase is a key technology for constructing a novel series of functional nanomaterials. However, it is generally difficult to immobilize them onto a conductive surface while maintaining their original properties owing to undesirable modifica…
Four fluorinated derivatives of 9-anthracene carboxylic acid ( 9AC ), a molecule that shows a reversible photomechanical response in its crystal form, have been synthesized and characterized. The spectroscopic properties and crystal structures of 4-fluoro-9-anthracene carboxylic acid ( 4F-9AC ), 2-fluoro-9-anthracene…
Thiazolothiazole-linked porous organic polymers have been synthesized from a facile catalyst-free condensation reaction between aldehydes and dithiooxamide under solvothermal conditions. The resultant porous frameworks exhibit a highly selective uptake of CO2 over N2 under ambient conditions.
The structure of a nanospheric polyhydrido copper cluster, [Cu20(H)11{S2P(O(i)Pr)2}9], was determined by single-crystal neutron diffraction. The Cu20 cluster consists of an elongated triangular orthobicupola constructed from 18 Cu atoms that encapsulate a [Cu2H5](3-) ion with an exceptionally short Cu-Cu distance. The…
High Resolution Image Download MS PowerPoint Slide We present a numerical framework to integrate first-principles kinetic Monte Carlo (1p-kMC) based microkinetic models into the powerful computational fluid dynamics (CFD) package CatalyticFoam. This allows for the simultaneous account of a predictive-quality surface r…
Multifunctional composites which can fulfil more than one role within a system have attracted considerable interest. This work focusses on structural supercapacitors which simultaneously carry mechanical load whilst storing/delivering electrical energy. Critical mechanical properties (in-plane shear and in-plane compr…
We study the influence of shape of Janus particles on their orientation and surface activity at fluid-fluid interfaces via molecular dynamics simulations. The Janus particles are characterized by two regions with different wettability divided along their major axes. Three types of Janus particles are considered: Janus…
Polymeric nanoparticles and their applications have been studied over the long period. Polymeric nanoparticles have been shown to be promising carriers for drug delivery because of their potential in encapsulating drugs hence protecting them from excretion and metabolism. Different polymers have been used, and differe…
Abstract Das Interesse der Medizin an der Nanotechnologie hat in kurzer Zeit stark zugenommen. Die Nanotechnologie könnte Lösungen für viele Probleme bieten, die mit herkömmlichen Therapeutika einhergehen, wie etwa eine schlechte Wasserlöslichkeit (zumindest was die meisten Antitumormittel angeht), fehlende Tumorspezi…
In this work, we report a strong photoluminescence (PL) enhancement of monolayer MoS2 under different treatments. We find that by simple ambient annealing treatment in the range of 200 °C to 400 °C, the PL emission can be greatly enhanced by a factor up to two orders of magnitude. This enhancement can be attributed to…
Heteroepitaxial core-shell nanostructures have been proven advantageous in a wide variety of applications, ranging from luminescence enhancement, band gap engineering, multimodal theranostics, to catalysis. However, precisely tailoring the epitaxial growth is challenging, and a general understanding of the parameters…
Heterogeneous catalysis is commonly governed by surface active sites. Yet, areas just below the surface can also influence catalytic activity, for instance, when fragmentation products of catalytic feeds penetrate into catalysts. In particular, H absorbed below the surface is required for certain hydrogenation reactio…
Micromagnetic simulations of magnetoelastic nanostructures traditionally rely on either the Stoner-Wohlfarth model or the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert (LLG) model, assuming uniform strain (and/or assuming uniform magnetization). While the uniform strain assumption is reasonable when modeling magnetoelastic thin films, this…
Following an inspiration from the fine structure of natural peroxidases, such as horseradish peroxidase (HRP), an artificial peroxidase was constructed through the self-assembly of diblock copolymers and hemin, which formed a functional micelle with peroxidase-like activity. The pyridine moiety in block copolymer poly…
Well-dispersed cube-like iron oxide (α-Fe2O3) nanoparticles (NPs) supported on ordered multimodal porous carbon (OMPC) are synthesized for the first time by a facile and efficient glycine-assisted hydrothermal route. The effect of OPMC support on growth and formation mechanism of the Fe2O3 NPs is discussed. OMPC as a…
