The isolation of graphene in 2004 from graphite was a defining moment for the “birth” of a
field: two-dimensional (2D) materials. In recent years, there has been a rapidly increasing …

The course of evolution on our planet has resulted in the appearance, diversification, and
proliferation of organisms capable of producing complex structures from hard inorganic …

Background Ovarian cancer is the sixth most common cancer among women. In addition to
diagnosis and staging, primary surgery is performed to achieve optimal cytoreduction (…

The creation of nanoscale materials for advanced structures has led to a growing interest in
the area of biomineralization. Numerous microorganisms are capable of synthesizing …

… 12−6 potential, r 0,ij = (r 0,ii r 0,jj ) 1/2 and ε 0,ij = (ε 0,ii ε 0,jj ) 1/2 , as in AMBER, CVFF, and
OPLS-AA, as well as a sixth power combination for the 9−6 potential, r 0,ij = ((r 0,ii 6 + r 0,jj 6 )…

Direct interfacing of nanosensors onto biomaterials could impact health quality monitoring
and adaptive threat detection. Graphene is capable of highly sensitive analyte detection due …

preinvasive cervical lesions, invasive cervical cancer is the fifth most common cancer in …

Robust immobilization techniques that preserve the activity of biomolecules have many potential
applications 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 . Silicates, primarily in the form of sol-gel composites …

In this work, the suitability of imidazolium-based ionic liquid solvents is investigated for the
dissolution and regeneration of silkworm (Bombyx mori) silk. Within an ionic liquid the anion …

Our calculations show that a nonchiral nanocrystal is able to dramatically change the circular
dichroism (CD) of a chiral molecule when the nanocrystal and molecule form a complex …
