Nanodroplet Transport on Vibrated Nanotubes.
We show by molecular dynamics simulations that water nanodroplets can be transported along and around the surfaces of vibrated carbon nanotubes. In our simulations, a nanodroplet with a diameter of ∼4 nm is adsorbed on a (10,0) single-wall carbon nanotube, which is vibrated at one end with a frequency of 208 GHz and an amplitude of 1.2 nm. The generated linearly polarized transverse acoustic wa...
متن کاملHydration and allosteric transitions in hemoglobin.
Sucrose and other neutral solutes reduce the oxygen affinity of human hemoglobin. This effect was attributed by Colombo et al. (Colombo, M.F., Rau, D.C., and Parsegian, V.A. (1992) Science 256, 655-659) to a stabilization of the deoxy-T quaternary state of hemoglobin A, via a reduction of the activity coefficient of water. This was correlated to crystallographic results which showed that a sign...
متن کاملInterfacial Redox Catalysis on Gold Nanofilms at Soft Interfaces.
Soft or "liquid-liquid" interfaces were functionalized by roughly half a monolayer of mirror-like nanofilms of gold nanoparticles using a precise interfacial microinjection method. The surface coverage of the nanofilm was characterized by ion transfer voltammetry. These gold nanoparticle films represent an ideal model system for studying both the thermodynamic and kinetic aspects of interfacial...
متن کاملInterfacial phase transitions in conducting fluids.
We present a review, largely based on recent experimental work of our group, on phase transitions at interfaces of fluid metals, alloys and ionic liquids. After a brief analysis of possible experimental errors and limitations of surface sensitive methods, we first deal with first-order wetting transitions at the liquid/vapour and liquid/wall interface in systems such as Ga-based alloys, K-KCl m...
متن کاملNanodroplet-Mediated Histotripsy for Image-guided Targeted Ultrasound Cell Ablation
This paper is an initial work towards developing an image-guided, targeted ultrasound ablation technique by combining histotripsy with nanodroplets that can be selectively delivered to tumor cells. Using extremely short, high-pressure pulses, histotripsy generates a dense cloud of cavitating microbubbles that fractionates tissue. We hypothesize that synthetic nanodroplets that encapsulate a per...
