Magnetoelectric (ME) vector field sensors can be realized by combining individual sensors with anisotropic sensitivity. Following this approach, exchange biased ME thin film composites were incorporated into two dimensional vector magnetometers. These self biased composites do not need magnetic dc bias fields for thei…

Organisms make use of amorphous materials as a certain precursor to form insoluble complex biominerals in the presence of various organic matrices. In this article, we demonstrate that amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) nanoparticles can be highly stabilized by a polymerized dopamine (DA), a biomimetic molecule inspire…

If X-ray diffraction data do not allow a unique assignment of the space group, but the structure of a similar compound is known, group-subgroup relations can help to decide which space group is correct. If the crystal structure of a protein is known and the space group of crystals of another protein is a subgroup or s…

The need for a valid replacement for autologous tissues in vascular surgery has led to the development of tissue-engineered vascular grafts (TEVGs). Currently, only three kinds of TEVG have been used in clinical trials: synthetic scaffold-based TEVGs, self-assembled grafts, and decellularized exogenous tissues. This r…

Increasing the throughput of the powerful single-step glancing angle deposition (GLAD) method using a prototype simplified roll-to-roll (R2R) system has been explored. While the conventional GLAD technique is popular for fabricating nanostructured devices in a single deposition step, it is not a high-output process. T…

With a first principles method, we have investigated the rhombohedral distortion effects on the electronic structure of LaCoO3. Fixed spin moment calculations show two local minima—a non-magnetic and a ∼1.3μB magnetic state. The energy difference between these states is sensitive to the rhombohedral distortion. The Ge…
