The combination of multiple functionalities in a single material is an appealing strategy for the de-velopment of smart materials with unique features. In this work, we present the preparation of thermoresponsive magnetic nanoparticles and…
Short DNA linkers are increasingly being exploited for driving specific self-assembly of Brownian objects. DNA-functionalised colloids can assemble into ordered or amorphous materials with tailored morphology. Recently, the same approach…
We investigated the surface structure of hydrogels of poly(N,N-dimethylacrylamide) (PDMA) hydrogels synthesized and cross-linked simultaneously by redox free radical polymerization. We demonstrate the existence of a less cross-linked layer…
Electronic devices are progressively fabricated on flexible substrates allowing new fields of applications. A maskless and very flexible structuring process is offered by ablation using ultra-short pulse laser irradiation. Usually, certain…
We have performed microwave measurements on superconducting hot-isostatically- pressed (HIPed) bulk MgB2 using a parallel-plate resonator technique. The high density and strength of the HIPed material allowed preparation of samples with…
The surface properties of a substrate are among the most important parameters in the printing technology of functional materials, determining not only the printing resolution but also the stability of the printed features. This paper…
Using self-assembly techniques, x-ray reflectivity measurements, and computer simulations, we study the effective interaction between charged polymer rods and surfaces. Long-time Brownian dynamics simulations are used to measure the…
The recent discovery of magic angle twisted bilayer graphene (MATBG), in which two sheets of monolayer graphene are precisely stacked to a specific angle, has opened up a plethora of new opportunities in the field of topology,…
The study of cells' dynamical properties is essential to a better understanding of several physiological processes. These properties are directly associated with cells' mechanical parameters experimentally achieved through physical stress.…
Thermal properties of graphene monolayers are studied by path-integral molecular dynamics (PIMD) simulations, which take into account the quantization of vibrational modes in the crystalline membrane, and allow one to consider anharmonic…
Microstructurally arrested matter, from molecular glasses to soft glassy materials, can retain a memory of their thermal or mechanical (shear) histories. Their history-dependent and nonlinear microstructural recoveries have been studied…
Due to its low bandgap and high optical efficiency, tellurium is considered an important material candidate for mid-infrared applications. Taking advantage of its structural anisotropy, we fabricated tellurium nanowire devices and…
We demonstrate molecular beam growth of graphene on biotite mica substrates at temperatures below 1000{\deg}C. As indicated by optical and atomic force microscopy, evaporation of carbon from a high purity solid-state source onto biotite…
The last decade, nanopores have emerged as a new and interesting tool for the study of biological macromolecules like proteins and DNA. While biological pores, especially alpha-hemolysin, have been promising for the detection of DNA, their…
Extrusion 3D-printing of biopolymers and natural fiber-based biocomposites allows for the fabrication of complex structures, ranging from gels for healthcare applications to eco-friendly structural materials. However, traditional polymer…
We consider the mesoscopic model for the liquid crystalline brush that might serve as a photoswitchable aligning surface for preorientation of low molecular weight liquid crystals in a bulk. The brush is built by grafting the polymer chains…
