The phase equilibria of binary CO2 + n-alkane mixtures have been studied by an important number of authors, both experimentally and using different types of thermodynamic models. Modeling studies of the phase behavior of...

The development of dye-sensitized solar cells requires an in-depth understanding of the interfacial charge-transfer dynamics that take place between dye sensitizers and semiconductors. Here, we describe a prototype syste...

Several studies have been published regarding the interaction between the spike protein of the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 and ACE2 receptor in the host cells. In the presente work, we evaluated the in silico properties...

Pipeline networks are the dominant mode of conveying a wide variety of oil refined products from refineries to distribution terminals. Pipeline infrastructure usually comprises trunk lines serving high-volume, long-haul ...

The coalescence process of two nanoparticles to yield a core-shell structure is analyzed by a well-tempered metadynamics procedure. This methodology has been shown to be useful in understanding the present phenomenon in ...

Sodium caseinate suspensions (Cas) are stabilized as submicelles in a dynamic system consisting of caseins α, β, and κ. Their use in the food industry is quite widespread because of their functional properties and nut...

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...

Fluid transport on confined systems is a subject of theoretical and technological interest. For instance, remarkable high flow rates have been obtained in carbon nanochannels (CNs) which cannot be predicted by standard m...

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 knowledge and the ability to describe the phase equilibrium behavior of systems composed of transesterification products are very important in the optimization of biodiesel production and purification process. In thi...

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...

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...

Poly(N-acryloylmorpholine) (P(NAM))-based materials have been developed to prevent protein adhesion to surfaces due to their biocompatibility and protein-repellent properties. However, transferring the benefits of P(NAM)...

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...

Cultures of hybridoma cells in bioreactors are commonly used to produce monoclonal antibodies. As an alternative to nonlinear model predictive control, which has recently been applied successfully to optimize the process...

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 ...

A systematic analysis of defect textures in faceted nanoparticles with polygonal configurations embedded in a nematic matrix is performed using the Landau de Gennes model, homeotropic strong anchoring in a square domain...

The agreement between theoretical and experimental vibrational circular dichroism curves of (4R,9R,10R)-(+)-african-l(5)-ene-2,6-dione (1) and (4R,9S,10R)-lippifoli-l(6)-en-5-one (2), isolated from the widely used plant ...
