Hydroxyl functional poly(amidoamine) dendron wedges have been reacted with the surface of multi-walled carbon nanotubes and used for templating silver nanoparticles.

Porous hollow spherical and rod-like silica nanoparticles were obtained via a surfactant templating method adopting hydroxyapatite (HAp) nanoparticles as an etchable core material.

Mesostructured silicates containing metal nanoparticles have been synthesised via templating around a pre-formed, metal-containing mesophase using a non-ionic surfactant.

Introduction: Either the oversizing or undersizing of the components can cause pain and/or a functional impairment, therefore accurate preoperative templating to predict the implant size and position is important for obtaining successful outcomes in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). A templating system has therefore been recommended for joint arthroplasty and it is now routinely used with most des...

We describe a flexible method for large-scale production of polymeric microspheres by templating a microgel-stabilized oil-in-water (o/w) high internal phase emulsion.

Layered hybrid perovskites comprise modular components that are individually highly tunable, resulting in materials with a range of structures and properties. In these layered materials, the usual assumption is two-dimensional electronic behavior, because relatively large separations between inorganic layers. Here, we report two lead iodide possess unusually short interlayer distances: (IPA)2(M...

Confinement can modify the dynamics, the thermodynamics, and the structural properties of liquid water, the prototypical anomalous liquid. By considering a generic model for anomalous liquids, suitable for describing solutions of globular proteins, colloids, or liquid metals, we study by molecular dynamics simulations the effect that an attractive wall with structure and a repulsive wall withou...

This Letter reports an original spin valve device that is based on a chiral templated nickel material. Chirality in Ni induced by exploiting co-electrodeposition of organic template. In this specific case, the templating enantiopure tartaric acid (TA). Facile electrodeposition (co-deposition) ambient conditions produces chiral-templated Z-shaped magnetoresistance curves, switching sign as funct...

The use of digital radiography and templating software in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) continues to become more prevalent as the number of procedures performed increases every year. Template-directed instrumentation (TDI) is a novel approach to surgical planning that combines digital templating with limited intraoperative instruments. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the financial imp...

Knowledge of the rate and nature of spontaneous mutation is fundamental to understanding evolutionary and molecular processes. In this report, we analyze spontaneous mutations accumulated over thousands of generations by wild-type Escherichia coli and a derivative defective in mismatch repair (MMR), the primary pathway for correcting replication errors. The major conclusions are (i) the mutatio...
