Double-helical macrostructure aids the passive movement of extinctive graptolites (Dicellograptus) revealed by CFD simulation

Swiss Journal of Palaeontology
Understanding how marine organisms move in the water column is critical for comprehending their palaeoecology and palaeobiogeography. However, interpreting the locomotion of extinct invertebrates can be problematic and difficult because of the lack of ...

Magnetic DNA Origami Nanorotors

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Magnetic actuation is a powerful and broadly applicable actuation mechanism due to its programmability and compatibility with biological entities. Here we demonstrate magnetic DNA origami nanorotors (MADONAs) by assembling magnetic nanocubes on DNA origami.

Study on Suppression of Vortex-Induced Vibrations of a Rotating Cylinder with Dual Splitter Plates

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
To investigate the suppression method for vortex-induced vibrations (VIV) of two-degree-of-freedom (2-DOF) rotating cylinders with dual splitter plates, numerical simulations are conducted at a Reynolds number of 200, a mass ratio of 2.6, and rotation ...

Photoactive Tweezers

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A photoactive tweezers system based on photoactive colloids is developed and systematically investigated in this study. Through experimental and theoretical methods, we demonstrate that the photoredox reaction catalyzed by a dye‐sensitized TiO2 particle generates a strong positive phototaxis, enabling self‐entrapment in the beam center.

Negotiating in a Foreign Land: Understanding the Curious Interactions Between Intracellular Mitochondria and Internalized Nanoparticles

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Therapeutic nano‐drug delivery systems interact with cellular mitochondria in a multitude of ways. While the complexity of such interactions disrupts the mitochondrial electron transport chain and increases reactive oxygen species production, thereby contributing to nanoparticle toxicity, they also present unique theranostic opportunities in diseases ...

Bis‐Naphthyl Dipicolinic Dicarboxamide‐Based Self‐Assembled Aqueous Nano Dispersion as an Efficient Light Harvesting Medium and Cucurbit[7]Uril Host Complexation Effect Study

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Bis‐naphthyl‐4‐hydroxy‐dipicolinic‐dicarboxamide, a small molecule, forms nanodispersion as an efficient light‐harvesting medium in aqueous solution. Further cucurbit[7]uril addition was found to inhibit the FRET co‐assembly by host‐guest complexation. ABSTRACT Development of artificial light harvesting systems in a minimalistic self‐assembly model is ...
