NANOSCALE NONCOLLINEAR SPIN TEXTURES IN THIN FILMS OF A D2D HEUSLER COMPOUNDTue Aug 09 2022
Nanoscale Noncollinear Spin Textures in Thin Films of a D2d Heusler Compound
Magnetic nano-objects, namely antiskyrmions and Bloch skyrmions, have been found to coexist in single-crystalline lamellae formed from bulk crystals of inverse tetragonal Heusler compounds with D2d symmetry. * Skyrmions can be observed in real-space by various direct imaging techniques. * In the article “Nanoscale Noncollinear Spin Textures in Thin Films of a D2d Heusler Compound” […]
Elastic shell theory for plant cell wall stiffness reveals contributions of cell wall elasticity and turgor pressure in AFM measurementThu Aug 04 2022
The stiffness of a plant cell in response to an applied force is determined not only by the elasticity of the cell wall but also by turgor pressure and cell geometry, which affect the tension of the cell wall. Although stiffness has been investigated using atomic force microscopy (AFM) and Young’s modulus of the cell […]

Electrochemically Synthesized Poly(3-hexylthiophene) Nanowires as Photosensitive Neuronal InterfacesTue Jul 19 2022
Poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT), a hole-conducting polymer, generates a lot of interest especially because of its excellent optoelectronic properties (such as good electrical conductivity and high extinction coefficient) and good processability, which make this polymer an excellent choice for building organic optoelectronic devices (e.g., organic solar cells).

Efficient long-range conduction in cable bacteria through nickel protein wiresTue Jun 28 2022
Bio-materials typically have an intrinsically low electrical conductivity, and so the availability of a bio-material with extraordinary electrical properties has great potential for new applications in bio-electronics. This prospect of technological application however requires a deeper understanding of the mechanism of electron transport as well as the structure and composition of the conductive fibers in cable bacteria.

Real-time tracking of ionic nano-domains under shear flowMon Jun 20 2022
The behaviour of ions at solid–liquid interfaces underpins countless phenomena, from the conduction of nervous impulses to charge transfer in solar cells. In most cases, ions do not operate as isolated entities, but in conjunction with neighbouring ions and the surrounding solution. In aqueous solutions, recent studies suggest the existence of group dynamics through water-mediated clusters but results allowing direct tracking of ionic domains with atomic precision are scarce.

Stress- and Time-Dependent Formation of Self-Lubricating In Situ Carbon (SLIC) Films on Catalytically-Active Noble AlloysThu Jun 16 2022
Although catalysis is a popular explanation for tribopolymer generation, the interplay of catalysis, mechanochemistry, and electrostatic interactions remain incompletely understood. There is consensus, however, that the mechanisms for forming a frictional polymer in situ require at least three conditions: the presence of organics, a catalytically-active substrate, and shear between surfaces (i.e., sliding contacts).
