Tuning of protein surface charge is a fundamental mechanism in biological systems. Protein charge is regulated in a physiological context by pH and interaction with counterions. We report on charge inversion and the related reentrant condensation in solutions of globular proteins with different multivalent metal catio…

In this study, Bi 2 WO 6 quantum dots (QDs) decorating reduced graphene oxide (RGO) sheets were produced by a facile one-step hydrothermal synthesis process, which converts the reactant precursors to Bi 2 WO 6 QDs and RGO simultaneously. The Bi 2 WO 6 QDs with a size of 3–5 nm anchored uniformly on the RGO sheets to f…

The transverse piezoelectric coefficient e31,f of Al1-xScxN thin films was investigated as a function of composition. It increased nearly 50% from x = 0 to x = 0.17. As the increase of the dielectric constant was only moderate, these films are very suitable for energy harvesting, giving a 60% higher transformation yie…
