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

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

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 ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

Johanna Siegler reviews the group exhibition ‘For Real For Real’ curated by Claudia Rankine and The Racial Imaginary ...

Foundational work, particularly early analytical models of lattice cylindrical shells, continues to inform current optimisation practices by elucidating both global and local buckling mechanisms ...

IT is well known that under vacua of less than 1 torr the coefficient of friction of graphite on itself and other materials increases from its usual value of about 0.15 to a value of 0.5, or even ...

A unique new material that shrinks when it is heated and expands when it is cooled could help enable the ultra-stable space ...

Skoltech researchers have investigated the use of polyaromatic hydrocarbons as anode materials in metal-ion batteries. The ...
