Wetting and complex remodeling of membranes by biomolecular condensates
Nature Communications, 2023 Cells compartmentalize parts of their interiors into liquid-like condensates, which can be reconstituted in vitro. Although these condensates interact with membrane-bound organelles, their potential for membrane remodeling and the underlying mechanisms ...

Nature Communications, 2016 AbstractOutermost occupied electron shells of chemical elements can have symmetries resembling that of monopoles, dipoles, quadrupoles and octupoles corresponding to filled s-, p-, d- and f-orbitals. Theoretically, elements with hexadecapolar outer shells could also exist, but none of the known elements have filled g-orbitals.

Metal-free photoanodes for C–H functionalization
Nature Communications, 2023 Organic semiconductors, such as carbon nitride, when employed as powders, show attractive photocatalytic properties, but their photoelectrochemical performance suffers from low charge transport capability, charge carrier recombination, and self-oxidation.

Leaflet Tensions Control the Spatio-Temporal Remodeling of Lipid Bilayers and Nanovesicles
Biomolecules, 2023 Biological and biomimetic membranes are based on lipid bilayers, which consist of two monolayers or leaflets. To avoid bilayer edges, which form when the hydrophobic core of such a bilayer is exposed to the surrounding aqueous solution, a single bilayer ...

Numerical simulation of retention and release of colloids in porous media at the pore scale [PDF]
, 2013 Transport of a solid colloidal particle was simulated at the pore scale in presence of surface roughness and particle/pore physicochemical interaction by adopting a “one fluid” approach.

Different pathways for engulfment and endocytosis of liquid droplets by nanovesicles
Nature Communications, 2023 In this work, the authors investigate on how condensate droplets, arising from liquid-liquid phase separation, can be engulfed by nanovesicles via distinct pathways, leading to different vesicle-droplet morphologies.

Charge-Neutralized Colloids for Waterborne High-Energy Dielectrics [PDF]
, 2022 Colloids are attractive building blocks for the assembly of organized functional materials. However, their stabilizing surface charges limit the high voltage tolerance and the capacitive energy storage of resultant solid films, which has long remained ...

Structural Arrest and Phase Transition in Glassy Nanocellulose Colloids
, 2020 From drying blood to oil paint, the developing of a glassy phase from colloids is observed on a daily basis. Colloidal glass is solid soft matter that consists of two intertwined phases: a random packed particle network and a fluid solvent. By dispersing

Nanoparticles: Characteristics, Mechanisms and Modulation of Biotoxicity
KONA Powder and Particle Journal, 2014 Particulates of 1 to 100 nanometers size are being increasingly used for a variety of clinical and commercial purposes due to their large surface-to-volume ratio and unique physico-chemical, mechanical and electronic
