Investigation of mycelium film as the adhesive for poplar veneer bonding: insight into interfacial bonding mechanisms
The emergence of mycelium-bonded biocomposites has been stimulated in the quest for sustainable development. These biocomposites exhibit enhanced mechanical properties through hot pressing, with mycelium playing a crucial role as both the adhesive and rein ...
Abingdon2024Large-cage occupation and quantum dynamics of hydrogen molecules in sII clathrate hydrates
Richard Gaal, Livia Eleonora Bove Kado, Umbertoluca Ranieri
Hydrogen clathrate hydrates are ice-like crystalline substances in which hydrogen molecules are trapped inside polyhedral cages formed by the water molecules. Small cages can host only a single H-2 molecule, while each large cage can be occupied by up to f ...
Aip Publishing2024Switching the on-surface orientation of oxygen-functionalized helicene
Christian Wäckerlin, Karl-Heinz Ernst, Jan Voigt
Helicenes represent an important class of chiral organic material with promising optoelectronic properties. Hence, functionalization of surfaces with helicenes is a key step toward new organic materials devices. The deposition of a heterohelicene containin ...
Hoboken2024Localized Ionic Reinforcement of Double Network Granular Hydrogels
Esther Amstad, Alexandra Thoma
Nature produces soft materials with fascinating combinations of mechanical properties. For example, the mussel byssus embodies a combination of stiffness and toughness, a feature that is unmatched by synthetic hydrogels. Key to enabling these excellent mec ...
Wiley-V C H Verlag Gmbh2024Quadrupolar susceptibility modeling of substrated metasurfaces with application to the generalized Brewster effect
Olivier Martin, Karim Achouri, Ville Tuovi Tiukuvaara
We derive generalized sheet transition conditions (GSTCs) including dipoles and quadrupoles, using generalized functions (distributions). This derivation verifies that the GSTCs are valid for metasurfaces in non-homogeneous environments, such as for practi ...

Kyriakos Stylianou, Arunraj Chidambaram
The removal of organophosphorus (OP) herbicides fromwater hasbeen studied using adsorptive removal, chemical oxidation, electrooxidation,enzymatic degradation, and photodegradation. The OP herbicide glyphosate(GP) is one of the most used herbicides worldwi ...
AMER CHEMICAL SOC2023Tunnel junction sensing of TATP explosive at the single-molecule level
Helena Miljkovic, Radomir Zikic
Triacetone triperoxide (TATP) is a highly potent homemade explosive commonly used in terrorist attacks. Its detection poses a significant challenge due to its volatility, and the lack of portability of current sensing techniques. To address this issue, we ...
Cambridge2023Metal Catalysts for the Electrochemical Reduction of CO2
The world by and large has adopted the The Paris Agreement, which commits any signing party to cut greenhouse emissions drastically and prevent global heating above 2 °C beyond pre-industrial levels. For this ambitious goal to be met, ratifying states need ...
EPFL2023Self-Assembly of N-Rich Triimidazoles on Ag(111): Mixing the Pleasures and Pains of Epitaxy and Strain
Christian Wäckerlin, Ulrich Aschauer, Xing Wang, Mehdi Heydari
In the present report, homochiral hydrogen-bonded assemblies of heavily N-doped (C9H6N6) heterocyclic triimidazole (TT) molecules on an Ag(111) substrate were investigated using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and low energy electron diffraction (LEED) ...
Washington2023Architecture-Controllable Single-Crystal Helical Self-assembly of Small-Molecule Disulfides with Dynamic Chirality
Beyond the common supramolecular helical polymers in solutions, controlling single-crystal helical self-assembly with precisely defined chirality and architectures has been challenging. Here, we report that simply merging static homochiral amino acids with ...
