Self-assembly of achiral monomer into left-handed helical polyanthracene nanofibers [PDF]
Bionic control over the assembly of achiral molecules into chiral supramolecular architectures is challenging, and typically relies on preexisting templates. We demonstrated that anthracene monomers could self-assemble into polyanthracene (PA) nanofibers

2D Hybrid Nanostructured Dirac Materials for Broadband Transparent Electrodes [PDF]
Broadband transparent electrodes based on 2D hybrid nanostructured Dirac materials between Bi2 Se3 and graphene are synthesized using a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method. Bi2 Se3 nanoplates are preferentially grown along graphene grain boundaries as

Cell behavior on extracellular matrix mimic materials based on mussel adhesive protein fused with functional peptides [PDF]
Adhesion of cells to surfaces is a basic and important requirement in cell culture and tissue engineering. Here, we designed artificial extracellular matrix (ECM) mimics for efficient cellular attachment, based on mussel adhesive protein (MAP) fusion ...

Multi-parametric sensitivity analysis of the band structure for tetrachiral inertial metamaterials [PDF]
Tetrachiral materials are characterized by a cellular microstructure made by a periodic pattern of stiff rings and flexible ligaments. Their mechanical behaviour can be described by a planar lattice of rigid massive bodies and elastic massless beams. The
