In this work, a complete study is carried out for the optimised, direct and catalyst-free growth of vertically-stacked graphene-based structures targeting at improved performance drug monitoring. The nanostructures, ultimately forming a honeycomb network o ...
Nanotechnology is regarded as the enabling technology of the 21st century. However, only a relatively small number of nano-enabled medical and healthcare products finally made their way to the market. There are several reasons why such innovative approache ...
Embryonic stem (ES) cells have the capacity to give rise to all cell types of the adult organism and can be used as a model to study early cell fate decisions as they closely recapitulate in vivo events. The M and G1 phases have been suggested to be the ke ...
2D materials such as graphene, MoS2 and phosphorene are promising candidates for resonating mechanical sensors due to excellent tunable electrical/- mechanical properties, low masses, and maximal surface to volume ratios. Mechanical resonators based on sup ...
The development of 2D nanomaterial coatings across metal surfaces is a challenge due to the mismatch between the metal microstructure and the nanoscale materials. The naturally occurring thin oxidative layer present across all metal surfaces, may lead to l ...
Inorganic nanomaterials able to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) are promising components for modern medical applications. Activated by near-infrared light, up-converting beta-NaYF4 doped with Er3+ - Yb3+ and Tm3+- Yb3+ pair ions nanoparticles (UCNPs ...
Monitoring biomarkers and injected theranostic nanomaterials in tissues and organs plays a pivotal role in numerous medical applications ranging from cancer diagnostics to drug delivery. Scanning electrochemical microscopy has been demonstrated as a powerf ...
We present an analytical model to describe the stability of arbitrary semiconducting nanoparticle (NP) superlattices as a function of the dipole and polarizability of their constituents. We first validate our model by comparison with density functional the ...
One approach to overcome the high contact resistance between 3D metals and 2D materials/heterostructures is employing edge contacts [1]. A low-resistance edge contact on boron nitride/graphene/boron nitride heterostructure using photolithography has been d ...
The omnipresence of salts in biofluids creates a pervasive challenge in designing sensors suitable for in vivo applications. Fluctuations in ion concentrations have been shown to affect the sensitivity and selectivity of optical sensors based on single-wal ...
