One goal of nanotechnology is to prepare cellular nanoprobes for various biological applications where conventional molecular probes fall short of long-term stability and simultaneous detection of multiple signals. Successful development of cellular nanoprobes requires the availability of a library of functional nanop…
The electric field‐induced antiferroelectric‐to‐ferroelectric phase transition is investigated through detailed measurements of electric polarization P , longitudinal strain x 33 , and transverse strain x 11 developed under applied electric fields in a series of Pb 0.99 Nb 0.02 [(Zr 0.57 Sn 0.43 ) 1− y Ti y ] 0.98 O 3…
Hollow SnO(2) spheres with smooth surface have been fabricated by a low temperature template-free solution phase route via self-assembly of small nanocrystalline particles. These hollow spheres have a very thin shell thickness of about 10 nm and are built from SnO(2) nanocrystals of an average size of 5.3 nm. The evac…
As a new type of functional materials, porous metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have experienced tremendous development in the past decade. Their amenability to design, together with the functionalizable nanospace inside their frameworks, has afforded them great potential for various applications. In this review, we pro…
Understanding protein structure is of crucial importance in science, medicine and biotechnology. For about two decades, knowledge-based potentials based on pairwise distances--so-called "potentials of mean force" (PMFs)--have been center stage in the prediction and design of protein structure and the simulation of pro…
A prerequisite for the use of dendrimers as drug delivery vehicles is the detailed molecular understanding of the drug interaction. The purpose of this study was to characterize the self-assembly process between siRNA and generation 7 poly(amidoamine) dendrimers and the resulting dendriplexes in aqueous solution using…
Presented here is a dynamic microporous indium(III)-4,4'-oxybis(benzoate) framework material constructed from dual flexible building units, showing high selectivity for the adsorption of CO(2) over N(2).
In this study, we present a general protocol for the making of surface-imprinted magnetic fluorescence beads via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization. The resulting composites were characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis, transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, fl…
The 1.8-MeV proton radiation responses are compared for AlGaN/GaN HEMTs grown under Ga-rich, N-rich, and NH3-rich conditions. The NH3-rich devices are more susceptible to proton irradiation than the Ga-rich and N-rich devices. The 1/fnoise of the devices increases with increasing fluence. Density functional theory cal…
Design of ultrawideband absorbers with bandwidth ratios larger than 10:1 is investigated. It is explained that if there is no constraint on the total thickness of the absorber, achieving large bandwidths is straightforward. The problem becomes challenging when the minimization of the total thickness is considered. It…
The growth and characterization of single-crystalline thin films of topological insulators (TIs) is an important step towards their possible applications. Using in situ scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES), we show that moderately thick Sb 2 Te 3 films grown layer-b…
Pentacene organic field-effect transistors with multilayer graphene electrodes exhibit a lower contact resistance and lower charge-injection barrier height than those with conventional Au electrodes. This enhancement in performance is related to the favorable dipole layer formation at the graphene/pentacene interface.
The reflection coefficient phase is investigated for several different artificial magnetic conductors (AMCs) having canonical FSS-type shapes. Three of them are selected, each representing a different class, and fine tuned to exhibit identical resonant frequency. Polarization and angular dependence as well as the effe…
Mesoporous nanocrystal clusters of anatase TiO 2 with large surface area and enhanced photocatalytic activity have been successfully synthesized. The synthesis involves the self-assembly of hydrophobic TiO 2 nanocrystals into submicron clusters, coating of these clusters with a silica layer, thermal treatment to remov…
A very small number of natural proteins have folded configurations in which the polypeptide backbone is knotted. Relatively little is known about the folding energy landscapes of such proteins, or how they have evolved. We explore those questions here by designing a unique knotted protein structure. Biophysical charac…
Supramolecular polyisobutylenes (PIB) bearing mono- and bifunctional chain ends with hydrogen-bonding units were prepared, and their association behavior in the melt state was investigated by dynamic rheology and compared to aggregation in solution, aiming at determining association dynamics in the solid state. A prep…
In the last two decades, regenerative medicine has shown the potential for "bench-to-bedside" translational research in specific clinical settings. Progress made in cell and stem cell biology, material sciences and tissue engineering enabled researchers to develop cutting-edge technology which has lead to the creation…
The crucial role of the myofibroblast in wound healing and fibrosis development is well established. This review discusses the mechanisms of myofibroblast action and the new findings that may develop into therapeutic strategies during the next few years.
Composites of a copper-based metal-organic framework (MOF) and graphite oxide (GO) were tested for NO2 adsorption and retention of NO in dry and moist conditions. The samples were analyzed before and after exposure to NO2 by thermal analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction, and adsor…
This article presents a reoptimization of the GROMOS 53A6 force field for hexopyranose-based carbohydrates (nearly equivalent to 45A4 for pure carbohydrate systems) into a new version 56A(CARBO) (nearly equivalent to 53A6 for non-carbohydrate systems). This reoptimization was found necessary to repair a number of shor…
