Subject to a compressive membrane stress, an elastic film bonded on a substrate can become unstable, forming wrinkles, creases or delaminated buckles. Further increasing the compressive stress can induce advanced modes of instabilities including period-doubles, folds, localized ridges, delamination, and coexistent ins…
We have studied the domain-wall dynamics in Ta-CoFeB-MgO ultra-thin films with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy for various Co and Fe concentrations in both the amorphous and crystalline states. We observe three motion regimes with increasing magnetic field, which are consistent with a low fields creep, transitory de…
Furfural (FFR) was selectively hydrogenated in a single pot to tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol (THFAL) over a Si–MFI molecular sieve supported Pd catalyst. Studies on catalyst screening revealed that both the metal function and the support were critical for directing the selectivity to the ring-hydrogenated product, THFAL.…

Yttrium-doped BiVO 4 has been synthesized by means of a surfactant free hydrothermal method having good photoactivities under sun-like excitation for the degradation of Methylene Blue (MB). From the structural and morphological characterization it has been stated that the presence of Y 3+ induces the progressive stabi…
A metal nanoparticle attached to graphene oxide has the ability to open a new avenue of research with significant opportunities in the biomedical field. In this Letter, we report graphene oxide attached to a popcorn-shaped gold nanoparticle based hybrid SERS probe with ultrasensitive label-free sensing of HIV DNA and…
The nanostructuring of silicon (Si) has recently received great attention, as it holds potential to deal with the dramatic volume change of Si and thus improve lithium storage performance. Unfortunately, such transformative materials design principle has generally been plagued by the relatively low tap density of Si a…
A photocatalytic strategy has been developed to synthesize colloidal Ag-TiO2 nanorod composites in which each TiO2 nanorod contains a single Ag nanoparticle on its surface. In this rational synthesis, photoexcitation of TiO2 nanorods under UV illumination produces electrons that reduce Ag(I) precursor and deposit mult…
By means of thermal decomposition, we prepared single-phase spherical Ni nanoparticles (23 to 114 nm in diameter) that are face-centered cubic in structure. The magnetic properties of the Ni nanoparticles were experimentally as well as theoretically investigated as a function of particle size. By means of thermogravim…
Accumulating electrons in transparent conductive oxides such as indium tin oxide (ITO) can induce an "epsilon-near-zero" (ENZ) in the spectral region near the important telecommunications wavelength of λ = 1.55 μm. Here we theoretically demonstrate highly effective optical electro-absorptive modulation in a silicon wa…
Impedance metasurface is composed of electrical small scatters in two dimensional plane, of which the surface impedance can be designed to produce desired reflection phase. Tunable reflection phase can be achieved by incorporating active element into the scatters, but the tuning range of the reflection phase is limite…
Battery separators have drawn considerable attention due to their vital roles for the safety and electrochemical performance of lithium-ion batteries. In this paper, the cellulose/polysulfonamide composite membrane was successfully fabricated from a mixture of microfibrillar cellulose and polysulfonamide via a facile…
Keratins are major components of the epithelial cytoskeleton and are believed to play a vital role for mechanical integrity at the cellular and tissue level. Keratinocytes as the main cell type of the epidermis express a differentiation-specific set of type I and type II keratins forming a stable network and are major…
Cell motility and cell shape adaptations are crucial during wound healing, inflammation, and malignant progression. These processes require the remodeling of the keratin cytoskeleton to facilitate cell-cell and cell-matrix adhesion. However, the role of keratins for biomechanical properties and invasion of epithelial…
Layers of CH3NH3PbI3 are investigated by modulated surface photovoltage spectroscopy (SPV) during heating in vacuum. As prepared CH3NH3PbI3 layers behave as a p-type doped semiconductor in depletion with a band gap of 1.5 eV. After heating to 140 °C the sign of the SPV signals of CH3NH3PbI3 changed concomitant with th…
Summary Biochar, the solid product of biomass pyrolysis, can be used as a soil amendment to stabilize metals in contaminated soils. The effects of biochar on the mobility of metals in soils are, however, poorly understood. To identify the predominant processes, we focused on (i) a possible kinetic limitation by transp…
Abstract Graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) exhibit ultra‐high strength and elastic modulus. Therefore, they are potential ideal reinforcements in metal–matrix composites (MMCs). In this work, we report the use of GNPs to strengthen the bulk Cu‐matrix composites. GNP reinforced Cu‐matrix (GNP/Cu) composites were prepared b…
Cisplatin and other DNA-damaging chemotherapeutics are widely used to treat a broad spectrum of malignancies. However, their application is limited by both intrinsic and acquired chemoresistance. Most mutations that result from DNA damage are the consequence of error-prone translesion DNA synthesis, which could be res…
Wearable electronics represent a significant paradigm shift in consumer electronics since they eliminate the necessity for separate carriage of devices. In particular, integration of flexible electronic devices with clothes, glasses, watches, and skin will bring new opportunities beyond what can be imagined by current…
Modification of rutile titanium dioxide (TiO2) for hydrogen generation and water cleaning is a grand challenge due to the chemical inertness of rutile, while such inertness is a desired merit for its stability in photoelectrochemical applications. Herein, we report an innovative two-step method to prepare a core-shell…
