Enzyme-substrate binding is a dynamic process intimately coupled to protein structural changes, which in turn changes the unfolding energy landscape. By the use of single-molecule force spectroscopy (SMFS), we characterize ...

We used porphyrin based molecular wires, to investigate the influence of the mechanical stretching on single molecule charge transport properties. We show two examples of the mechanical tuning of charge transport properties ...

In this study, individual nanofabricated SnO micro-disks, previously shown to exhibit exceptional sensitivity to NOx, are investigated to further our understanding of gas sensing mechanisms. The SnO disks presenting different ...

This is the first report of the successful fabrication of Co–Cr–Mo biomedical alloy single crystals with a hexagonal close-packed (hcp) structure and the resultant clarification of its deformation behavior. The (0001)〈112¯0〉 ...
