It is demonstrated here that three different alpha-amino N-carboxyanhydrides (NCAs), including for the first time O-benzyl-L-threonine NCA, can be polymerized in a controlled/"living" fashion without the need for transition metal catalysts or complex custo ...
Print-light-synthesis is a new concept for the large-scale in situ fabrication of nanoparticles and structures on large substrates. Here, Pt nanoparticles are synthesized on indium tin oxide (ITO) coated glass slides by using combined inkjet printing and p ...
The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the necessity to develop fast, highly sensitive and selective virus detection methods. Surface-based DNA-biosensors are interesting candidates for this purpose. Functionalization of solid substrates with DNA must be pr ...
For centuries, the use of glass in buildings was essentially restricted to functions such as windows and glazing. Over the last decades, continuous improvements in production and refining technologies have enabled glass elements to carry more substantial s ...
An interferometric method to record quantitative X-ray phase contrast images has been developed that can be used at polychromatic and incoherent X-ray sources such as laboratory tubes. With respect to previously presented results, in this work we report on ...
Femtosecond laser exposure of fused silica in the nonablative regime can lead to various localized bulk modifications of the material structure. In this paper, we show that these laser-induced modifications can be used to tune silica thermal expansion prop ...
The modification of glass nanopipettes with polyethyleneimines (PEIs) has been successfully achieved by a relatively simple method, and the smallest tip opening is around 3 nm. Thus, in a much wider range of glass pipettes with radii from several nanometer ...
