We find that for adsorbed terephthalic acid (TPA) molecules surface Sn alloying deactivates the Cu(001) surface by decoupling the adsorbed molecules from the substrate. This effect is investigated for the case of the 0.5...

We report an EPR study at X- and Q-bands of polycrystalline and single crystal samples of the mixed copper(II) complex with L-glutamic acid (glu) and 1,10-phenantroline (phen), [Cu(glu)(phen)(H2O)]+ NO3 −·2(H2O). The ...

The thermal stability of N,N′-bis(1-ethylpropyl)-perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxdiimide (EP-PTCDI) thin films deposited on Cu(100) has been characterized by using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), X-ray photoelectron ...

Carbon nanodots (CNDs) undergo electron transfer in different scenarios. Previous studies have mainly focused on the electron-accepting features of CNDs in covalently linked donor-acceptor nanoconjugates. In view of this...

Using molecular dynamics experiments, we analyze the association of "Janus" 6-amino-6-deoxy-2O-carboxymethyl-β-cyclodextrins (JCD) in aqueous solutions. In JCD dimers, the free energy associated with the primary-rim-sec...

Graphene nanoribbons with both armchair- and zigzag-shaped hydrogen-passivated edges (AGNR and ZGNR) have band gaps which depend on the width of the ribbon. In particular, a ZGNR has localized electronic states at the ed...

High-power density output in enzymatic fuel cells is a key feature to reduce the size of self-powered implantable medical devices. Electron transfer mediated through redox polyelectrolytes allows the transport of electro...

Changing gel structure and immobilization conditions led to a significant improvement in the covalent multipoint attachment of chymotrypsin on chitosan. The use of sodium alginate, gelatin, or κ-carrageenan, activation ...

The current study provides a comprehensive look of the adsorption process of Candida rugosa lipase (CRL) on Ca2Fe2O5 iron oxide nanoparticles (NPs). Protein-support interactions were identified across a broad range of pH...

An interparticle system has been devised, allowing airborne singlet oxygen to transfer between particle surfaces. Singlet oxygen is photogenerated on a sensitizer particle, where it then travels through air to a second p...

The choice of optimal electrolytes is crucial for improving the electrochemical performance of a lithium air battery because it determines the morphology of the discharge products in the cathode and the conductivity of t...

The coherent manipulation of acoustic waves on the nanoscale usually requires multilayers with thicknesses and interface roughness defined down to the atomic monolayer. This results in expensive devices with predetermine...

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as promising materials for atmospheric water harvesting (AWH). Large-pore MOFs provide high water capacity, but their significant hysteresis between sorption and desorption ...

Six new uranyl hybrid materials have been synthesized solvothermally utilizing the ligands 2,2′-bipyridine-3,3′-dicarboxylic acid (H2L) and 2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridine (TPY). The six compounds are classified as e...

In this work, we apply the recently developed frequency shift of nanoantennas (FRESA) technique to measure the Young’s modulus of thin mesoporous films at GHz frequencies as a function of porosity with local precision....

Bioinorganic canon states that active-site thiolate coordination promotes rapid electron transfer (ET) to and from type 1 copper proteins. In recent work, we have found that copper ET sites in proteins also can be constr...

A protocol is developed to allow the accurate characterization of partition to lipid bilayers for solutes with low affinity, using isothermal titration calorimetry. The methodology proposed is suitable for studies using ...

The oxidation of proteins and, in particular, of tryptophan (Trp) residues leads to chemical modifications that can affect structure and function. The oxidative damage to proteins in photochemical processes is relevant i...

We introduce p-MINFLUX, a new implementation of the highly photon-efficient single-molecule localization method with a simplified experimental setup and additional fluorescence lifetime information. In contrast to the or...

We report on a reversible structural phase transition of a two-dimensional system that can be locally induced by an external electric field. Two different structural configurations may coexist within a CO monolayer on Cu...
