Molecular dynamics for ion-tuned wettability in oil/brine/rock systems
AIP Advances, 2017 The dependence of wettability on brine ionic composition in oil/brine/rock systems, which is denoted as ion-tuned wettability, has important applications in geoscience.

Journal of Mechanical Engineering and Sciences, 2021 Previous studies reported that the presence of surfactant increases nanoparticles surface wettability by in-situ surface activation. On the other hand, the excess of surfactant concentration has an inverse effect on particle hydrophobicity by altering ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Encapsulins are protein nanocompartments that play an important role in iron storage. In the Myxococcus xanthus encapsulin system, two cargo proteins called EncB and EncC contribute to iron mineralization. Here, we show that EncB and EncC generate iron‐containing minerals with distinct chemical compositions, suggesting that the composition of stored ...

Chiral separation of chloroalkanes with the chromatographic column onboard Martian rovers
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Computer image of the Rosalind Franklin Rover of ESA's ExoMars mission. ExoMars is scheduled to land on planet Mars in Oxia Planum in 2029. This area represents an interesting spot to look for biosignatures. Investigations of ExoMars include measurement on molecular chirality. We show that chiral chloroalkanes, that have been identified on Mars, can be
