molecular dynamics simulation has been performed to analyze the effect of the presence of gold nanoparticle on dynamics of kob-anderson binary lennard-jones (blj) mixture upon supercooling within the framework of the mode coupling theory of the dynamic glass transition. the presence of gold nanoparticle has a direct effect on the liquid structure and causes the peaks of the radial distribution ...

We investigate the optical forces acting on a metallic nanoparticle when the nanoparticle is introduced within a photonic nanojet (PNJ). Optical forces at resonance and off-resonance conditions of the microcylinder or nanoparticle are investigated. Under proper polarization conditions, the whispering gallery mode can be excited in the microcylinder, even at off resonance provided that scatterin...

Interaction of nanoparticles with proteins is the basis of nanoparticle bio-reactivity. This interaction gives rise to the formation of a dynamic nanoparticle-protein corona. The protein corona may influence cellular uptake, inflammation, accumulation, degradation and clearance of the nanoparticles. Furthermore, the nanoparticle surface can induce conformational changes in adsorbed protein mole...

Interference-enhanced wide-field nanoparticle imaging is a highly sensitive technique that has found numerous applications in labeled and label-free subdiffraction-limited pathogen detection. It also provides unique opportunities for nanoparticle classification upon detection. More specifically, the nanoparticle defocus images result in a particle-specific response that can be of great utility ...

Flexible power sources such as batteries are essential to realize wearable and conformable electronic devices. The mechanical stability of the electrodes plays an important role in determining overall flexibility battery. Styrene block copolymers-based elastomers have potential be used binder materials for retaining their structural integrity under flexing during regular use. In this work, we d...

We investigate translocation dynamics of a vesicle cell under collision with a Janus or a homogeneous hydrophobic/hydrophilic nanoparticle. To this end, we perform dissipative particle dynamics simulation by setting the nanoparticle with different initial velocities, different chemical patterns of the surface for the nanoparticle, and different orientations (for the Janus nanoparticle). Particu...
