In the era of sustainable energy, catalysis using gold nanoparticles has drawn considerable attention from world researchers. Oxidation of benzyl alcohol by molecular O2 is an atom efficient path to synthesize benzaldehyde. Nanocrystalline ceria has been proven as a useful support to disperse gold nanoparticles since…
Microcellular structure endows polymeric foams with the improved mechanical properties, but the preparation of lightweight microcellular polyimide (PI) foams with a large size is challenging and inefficient, because of low gas solubility, high stiffness, and an extremely long saturation time. In this study, PI foam wa…
In this paper, we reported a facile synthesis of Birnessite K 0.15 MnO 2 ·0.43H 2 O nanosheets in a solution phase. The structural and electrochemical properties of the K 0.15 MnO 2 nanosheets for supercapacitor (SC) reactions were studied, and a gravimetric capacitance of 303 F/g was obtained at a charge/discharge cu…
A new and simple method was applied for the synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles with an average size of 20 nm. In this microwave‐assisted combustion method, glycine as a fuel and zinc nitrate as precursor were used. The final product was obtained very fast with high yield and purity. The synthesized nanoscale ZnO was chara…
When water droplets impact each other while traveling on a superhydrophobic surface, we demonstrate that they are able to rebound like billiard balls. We present elementary Boolean logic operations and a flip-flop memory based on these rebounding water droplet collisions. Furthermore, bouncing or coalescence can be ea…
This paper describes a facile method for synthesis of Au-AgCdSe hybrid nanorods with controlled morphologies and spatial distributions. The synthesis involved deposition of Ag tips at the ends of Au nanorod seeds, followed by selenization of the Ag tips and overgrowth of CdSe on these sites. By simply manipulating the…
Porous polyaniline (PANI)-coated multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWNT) core/shell nanohybrids were fabricated through in situ polymerization and subsequently assembled into macroscopic composites. N(2) adsorption/desorption analysis indicated that the volume of nanopores increased significantly, which could make a signi…
Members of the Ras superfamily regulate many cellular processes. They are down-regulated by a GTPase reaction in which GTP is cleaved into GDP and P(i) by nucleophilic attack of a water molecule. Ras proteins accelerate GTP hydrolysis by a factor of 10(5) compared to GTP in water. GTPase-activating proteins (GAPs) acc…
AIMS: Engineered metal nanoparticles are increasingly used in consumer products, in part as additives that exhibit advantageous antimicrobial properties. Conventional nanoparticle susceptibility testing is based largely on determination of nontemporal growth profiles such as measurements of inhibition zones in common…
A novel intumescent flame retardant-polyacrylamide (IFR-PAM) was prepared by the copolymerization of N 1 -(5,5-dimethyl-1,3,2-dioxaphosphinyl-2-yl)-acrylamide (DPAA) and acrylamide and was used to prepare various IFR-PAM/graphene oxide (GO) thin films via layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly as a flame retardant coating syst…
We report the observation of a pseudogap in the $ab$-plane optical conductivity of underdoped Ba${}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}$K${}_{x}$Fe${}_{2}$As${}_{2}$ ($x=0.2$ and 0.12) single crystals. Both samples show prominent gaps opened by a spin density wave (SDW) order and superconductivity at the transition temperatures ${T}_{…
Multiwall carbon nanotubes grown by plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition were functionalized by H(2)O plasma treatment. Through a controlled functionalization process of the carbon nanotubes (CNTs) we were able to modify and tune their chemical reactivity, expanding the range of potential applications in the fie…
Classical molecular dynamics with the AIREBO potential is used to investigate and compare the thermal conductivity of both zigzag and armchair graphene nanoribbons possessing various densities of Stone-Thrower-Wales (STW) and double vacancy defects, within a temperature range of 100-600 K. Our results indicate that th…
Although a number of procedures to create synthetic polymer nanoparticles (NPs) with an intrinsic affinity to target biomacromolecules have been published, little has been reported on strategies to control the binding kinetics of target recognition. Here, we report an enzyme-mimic strategy to control binding/dissociat…
With growing concerns of the safety of nanotechnology, the in vivo toxicity of nanoparticles (NPs) at environmental relevant concentrations has drawn increasing attentions. We investigated the possible molecular mechanisms of titanium nanoparticles (Ti-NPs) in the induction of toxicity at predicted environmental relev…
A novel type of alendronate(ALE)-conjugated amphiphilic hyperbranched copolymer based on a hydrophobic hyperbranched Boltorn H40 (H40) core with ALE targeting moiety and many hydrophilic poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) arms was synthesized as a carrier for bone-targeted drug delivery. The star copolymer H40-star-PEG/ALE w…
Dislocation mobility is a fundamental material property that controls strength and ductility of crystals. An important measure of dislocation mobility is its Peierls stress, i.e., the minimal stress required to move a dislocation at zero temperature. Here we report that, in the body-centered cubic metal tantalum, the…
Optical control of size, shape, or orientation of a metal nanoparticle is important for development of nanoscale optical devices and elements of photonic circuits. Thus far, however, independent control of two or more parameters has not yet been achieved. Here we place a simple spherical Ag nanoparticle on TiO(2) with…
Garnet-type Li7La3Zr2O12 (LLZO) is a solid electrolyte material with a low-conductivity tetragonal and a high-conductivity cubic phase. Using density-functional theory and variable cell shape molecular dynamics simulations, we show that the tetragonal phase stability is dependent on a simultaneous ordering of the Li i…
We show that direct current in a tantalum microstrip can induce steady-state magnetic oscillations in an adjacent nanomagnet through spin torque from the spin Hall effect (SHE). The oscillations are detected electrically via a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) contacting the nanomagnet. The oscillation frequency can be c…
