An aptamer-linked graphene oxide (GO) microarray is synthesized for multiplex heavy metal ion detection. Fluorescent nanosized GO sheets are micropatterned, and specific aptamers targeting Ag(+) and Hg(2+) are immobilized on the GO array. Upon capture of the target heavy metal ions, electron transfer occurs between th…

The measured redox potential of an actinide at an electrode surface involves the transfer of a single electron from the electrode surface on to the actinide center. Before electron transfer takes place, the complexing ligands and molecules of solvation need to become structurally arranged such that the electron transf…

Annihilation of dark matter can result in the production of stable Standard Model particles including electrons and positrons that, in the presence of magnetic fields, lose energy via synchrotron radiation, observable as radio emission. Galaxy clusters are excellent targets to search for or to constrain the rate of da…

The propagation of an adhesive crack through an anisotropic heterogeneous interface is considered. Tuning the local toughness distribution function and spatial correlation is numerically shown to induce a transition between weak to strong pinning conditions. While the macroscopic effective toughness is given by the me…

The hexagonal nanomembranes of the group III-nitrides are a subject of interest due to their novel technological applications. In this paper, we investigate the strain- and electric field-induced modulation of their band gaps in the framework of density functional theory. For AlN, the field-dependent modulation of the…

Abstract Collagen biomineralization is a complex process and the controlling factors at the molecular level are still not well understood. A particularly high level of spatial control over collagen mineralization is evident in the anchorage of teeth to the jawbone by the periodontal ligament. Here, unmineralized ligam…

ABSTRACT Microgels are crosslinked soft particles with a three‐dimensional network structure that are swollen in a good solvent. They have frequently been termed “smart materials” since the size, softness, and interaction forces between particles are tunable by external stimuli such as temperature, pH, or magnetic and…

Electron beam-induced deposition (EBID) enables the direct-write patterning of metallic structures with sub-10 nm lateral resolution without the use of resist films or etching/lift-off steps but generally leads to material of poor quality and suffers from a low throughput. These shortcomings were mitigated in recent w…
