Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) were melt-mixed with polyamide6 (PA6) and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene copolymer (ABS) to obtain electrically conducting composites. MWNTs were noncovalently modified with sodium salt of 6-aminocaproic acid (MWNTs-m1) and 3-pyrenealdehyde (MWNTs-m2) to 'deagglomerate' MWNTs. Ram…

Molecular dynamics simulations were conducted to investigate the conformation and dynamics of an aspartic acid molecule near the {104} and {110} planes of a CaCO 3 calcite crystal, near the acute and obtuse [114̅] step edges on the {104} plane, and near kinks formed at the step edges. The simulations indicate that the…

The Raman spectrum of NaAlSi2O6 jadeite is simulated and compared with two recent experimental data sets. In one experiment, only 17 (out of 30 symmetry allowed) peaks and a qualitative estimate of the intensities are provided. In the second case, the digitalized spectrum is available, from which we have been able to…

The first example of cell imaging using two independent emission components from a dinuclear d/f complex is reported. A water-stable, cell-permeable Ir(III) /Eu(III) dyad undergoes partial Ir→Eu energy transfer following two-photon excitation of the Ir unit at 780 nm. Excitation in the near-IR region generated simulta…

We propose a comprehensive scheme for the efficient design of graded optical metasurfaces capable of rerouting the impinging energy at will in a flexible way. We show that carefully designed conjoined optical nanoelements may be used as basic building blocks to arbitrarily shape the reflected phase front, while provid…

Super liquid-repellent layers need to have a high impalement pressure and high contact angles, in particular a high apparent receding contact angle. Here, we demonstrate that to achieve both, the features constituting the layer should be as small as possible. Therefore, two models for super liquid-repellent layers are…
