Protein assembly at the air-water interface (AWI) occurs naturally in many biological processes and provides a method for creating biomaterials. However, the factors that control protein self-assembly at the AWI and the dynamic processes that occur during adsorption are still underexplored. Using fluorescence microsco…

We study the spatiotemporal dynamics of a crack front propagating at the interface between a rigid substrate and an elastomer. We first characterize the kinematics of the front when the substrate is homogeneous and find that the equation of motion is intrinsically nonlinear. We then pattern the substrate with a single…

Dense and uniform arrays of InP-based nanopillars were fabricated by dry etching using self-assembly of colloidal silica particles for masking. The pillars, both single and arrays, fabricated from epitaxially grown InP and InP/GaInAsP/InP quantum well structures show excellent photoluminescence (PL) even at room tempe…

The greater variability in the electrical properties of n-type metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) compared with those of p-type MOSFETs poses problems for scaling of silicon based large-scale integration technology. We have elucidated the origin of the variability difference between n- and p-…

Weg von der Oberfläche: Nanopartikel (NPs) aus 16 nm großen Au-Kernen und Pd-Schalen unterschiedlicher Dicke katalysieren Suzuki-Miyaura-Kreuzkupplungen in Wasser bei Raumtemperatur. NPs mit einer Schalendicke von 2–5 Pd-Monoschichten sind katalytisch am aktivsten. Die Katalyse resultiert wohl aus dem Austritt von Pd-…

Made visible: In situ visualization of the RBL receptor on cancer cell line surfaces was developed by using biotinylated rhamnose and chacotriose bound to quantum dots. The RBL receptor showed different expression patterns on various cell lines. Also, solasodine rhamnosides were found to kill cancer cells more effecti…

As the simplest and most prevalent motif of protein folding, α-helix initiation is the starting point of macromolecular complexity. In this work, helix initiation was directly measured via ultrafast temperature-jump spectroscopy on the smallest possible helix nucleus for which only the first turn is formed. The rate's…

Four new azolium-containing metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have been synthesized, where the azoliums are potential organocatalyst precursors. Modifying the number of azoliums on a standard biphenyl dicarboxylate strut affects the morphology or the degree of interpenetration in two representative types of MOFs: NbO-ty…
