Indentation in bilayer epitaxial graphene induces its reversible transformation into a diamond-like structure with stiffness and hardness comparable to diamond.
Self-assembled few-layer organic films based on paraffinic tripodal triptycene provide an efficient surface functionalization strategy for high-performance organic electronic devices.
RNA nanotechnology is utilized for directional control by altering the orientation of arrow-shaped RNAs for either ligand-display on extracellular vesicle or to regulate intracellular trafficking of siRNA or miRNA in cancer treatment.
The combination of paclitaxel and the antiangiogenic agent BIBF 1120, loaded into nanoparticles, induces synthetic lethality in endometrial cancers with specific mutations in the tumour suppressor p53, providing the first step towards personalized medicine for endometrial cancer.
Gram-negative bacteria exposed to subinhibitory concentrations of silver nanoparticles can develop resistance to their antibiotic activity due to the production of flagellin, an adhesive protein of the bacterial flagellum, which causes the aggregation of silver nanoparticles.
Boron-nitride-supported graphene transistors show prominent current and noise temperature saturation due to hyperbolic phonon emission by non-equilibrium electron–hole pairs.
Elusive magnetic configurations of geometrically frustrated artificial kagome dipolar spin ices are realized by means of topological defect-driven magnetic writing.
Blocking band-edge absorption of compositionally graded quantum dots with suppressed Auger recombination by pre-existing electrons allows for demonstrating near-zero-threshold optical gain and amplified spontaneous emission at sub-single-exciton pump levels.
A molecule-sized ‘nose’ capable of producing unique fluorescence signatures for different proteins can detect combinations of biomarkers in biofluids, track several binding interactions simultaneously, and identify isoforms in living cells inaccessible to comparable macroscopic analytical devices.
A synthetic antibody fragment can disrupt the interaction of a GPCR regulatory protein β-arrestin with clathrin, and thereby inhibit induced internalization of GPCRs.
For the first time, four different double-walled carbon nanotubes were sorted via aqueous gel permeation according to the electronic coupling between the inner and outer wall.
Bottom-up fabrication of GNR heterojunctions exhibiting atomically perfect heterojunction interfaces can be obtained from a single molecular precursor via post-growth modification
Sequential heteroepitaxy of transition-metal dichalcogenide polymorphs with different electronic properties is used to build coplanar ultrathin circuitry with atomic-scale precision.
