I've always been fascinated by how materials break down, especially glasses and polymers that don't have a regular crystal ...

Steel reinforcement corrosion is a perennial problem for concrete as a construction material. Engineers are looking at novel ...

Gravity can exist without mass.” It’s a statement that upends a century of astrophysical dogma and, for some, sounds as ...

Researchers reveal how hydration shapes peptide assembly on 2D materials, offering new insights for bioelectronics and ...

Kanazawa University, report in Small, on how short peptides self-assemble linearly on atomically-thick solid surfaces, such ...

Nanowires have a great potential in many industrial applications, including electronics and sensors. Palladium nanowire network-based hydrogen sensors have been found to outperform their counterparts ...

The researchers designed short and simple dipeptides, mainly consisting of alternating amino acids with aromatic side groups, tyrosine (Y) and histidine (H) (Fig. 2). The former is hydrophobic residue ...

Lattice structures with different desired physical properties are promising for a broad spectrum of applications. The availability of additive manufacturing (AM) technology has relaxed the fabricating ...

Two types of hexaglycylamide (HGA) epitaxial lamellar structures coexisting on the surface of highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) exposed to water solutions were studied by high-resolution ...

1 INTRODUCTION Metamaterials consist of structures constructed from a periodic repetition of identical substructures or unit cells, engineered to exhibit properties that are generally viewed to go ...

Understanding the electronic, structural, and dynamical properties of highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) and its interface with water is crucial, as its layered structure, vacancy defects, and ...
