Abstract A common statistical problem in particle physics is to extract the number of samples which originate from a process an ensemble containing mix several contributing processes. The probability density function each usually not exactly known. Barlow and Beeston found exact likelihood for fitting binned templates obtained Monte-Carlo simulation data, propagates uncertainty into result. Sol...

Selective, template-assisted growth of electrodeposited, layered materials leads to the top-down designable realization of nanopatterned surfaces with a large surface area (>1 cm(2)) comprised of multi-dimensional, multiscale (10 nm-1 μm) features, without the need of standard nanolithography. This process opens a manufacturable route to functional nanodevices that rely on anisotropic, nanoscal...

A highly efficient polymeric tubular micromotor doped with Pt nanoparticle@carbon nanotubes is fabricated by template-assisted electrochemical growth. The micromotors preserve good navigation in multi-media and surface modification, along with simple synthesis, easy functionalization and good biocompatibility, displaying great promise in biological applications.

We propose a novel template-assisted strategy to prepare nanometer-sized manganese oxide (nano-MnO2) by self-assembly of some MnO2 platelets and demonstrate its application as a new class of biosensing platform for probing DNA hybridization and aptamer-target interaction in a homogeneous solution.

Although nanostructures with diverse morphologies have been fabricated, it is still a great challenge to prepare anisotropic two-dimensional (2-D) nanostructures, especially non-planar disc-like nanostructures. In this work, we develop a simple method to prepare curved polymer nanodiscs with regular sizes by wetting polymer nanospheres in the nanopores of anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) templates. ...
