Demonstrating Vibrational Current Generation With a Self‐Assembled Bioelectret

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Vacuum‐deposited films of the plant‐derived molecule, Baicalein, form a self‐assembled bioelectret exhibiting spontaneous orientation polarization and a giant surface potential. The films induce alternating current during the vibration of a movable electrode without charging treatments. Hydrocarbon protection enhances the air stability of the Baicalein

Self and directed assembly: people and molecules

Beilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2016
Self-assembly and directed-assembly are two very important aspects of supramolecular chemistry. As a young postgraduate student working in Canada with Tom Fyles my introduction to Supramolecular Chemistry was through the self-assembly of phospholipid ...

Producibility in Hierarchical Self-assembly [PDF]

Natural Computing, 2014
Three results are shown on producibility in the hierarchical model of tile self-assembly. It is shown that a simple greedy polynomial-time strategy decides whether an assembly A is producible. The algorithm can be optimized to use O(|A| log^2 |A|) time. Cannon, Demaine, Demaine, Eisenstat, Patitz, Schweller, Summers, and Winslow showed that the problem

Fusogenic RNA Nanomodules for Fusion‐Mediated and Multiplexed siRNA Delivery

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A fusogenic lipid‐layered RNA nanomodules (L‐CRAMs) enable high‐capacity and long‐lasting siRNA delivery through membrane fusion. These nanomodules carry exceptionally large siRNA payloads, avoid conventional endosomal uptake, and release multiple functional siRNAs through Dicer‐mediated processing.
