Rolled up si-based three dimensional micro-/nanostructures for MEMS/NEMS [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Recently, by combination of the “top down” and “bottom up” approaches, a new strategy to fabricate 3D micro-/nanostructures named self-scrolling technique has been introduced by Prinz et al. in 1999.

DNA‐Templated 2D Heterostructures as Phototriggered Dynamic Nanohybrids: From Releasing Molecular Loads to Controlling Enzyme Biocatalytic Function

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
DNA strands are employed both as dynamic linkers and nanoscale templates for the integration of Ag2S nanoparticles on MoS2, which in turn imparted photothermal responsiveness; this feature permits the selective cargo (fluorophore, quantum dots or an enzyme) release from the MoS2 surface in response to local heat induced by light irradiation.

Exposure to UV radiance predicts repeated evolution of concealed black skin in birds

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
In contrast to bird plumage, little is known about the evolution of bird skin color. Here, Nicolaï et al. find that black skin has evolved over 100 times in birds and is associated with baldness and/or white feathers as well as with high irradiation ...

Towards strength–ductility synergy through the design of heterogeneous nanostructures in metals

open access: yes, 2017
Metals can be processed to reach ultra-high strength, but usually at a drastic loss of ductility. Here, we review recent advances in overcoming this tradeoff, by purposely deploying heterogeneous nanostructures in an otherwise single-phase metal. Several

Ab Initio Study of Ferroelectric Critical Size of SnTe Low-Dimensional Nanostructures

open access: yes, 2020
Beyond a ferroelectric critical thickness of several nanometers existed in conventional ferroelectric perovskite oxides, ferroelectricity in ultimately thin dimensions was recently discovered in SnTe monolayers.

Counterion Dependent Side‐Chain Relaxation Stiffens a Chemically Doped Thienothiophene Copolymer

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Oxidation of a thienothiophene copolymer, p(g3TT‐T2), via different doping strategies and dopant molecules resulted in materials with similar oxidation levels and a high electrical conductivity of ≈100 S cm−1. However, mechanical properties varied significantly, with sub‐glass transition temperatures and elastic moduli spanning from –44°C to –3°C and ...

Silica- and Silicon-Based Nanostructures

open access: yes, 2022
As depicted in Figure 1, studies on silicon and silica-based nanostructures first appeared in the early 1990s, and their numbers grew until the mid-2010s [...
