Saccharides in water are detected electrically using an extended-gate type organic field effect transistor (OFET) functionalised by a phenylboronic acid monolayer. The response patterns of the monosaccharides are significantly different, suggesting that OFET devices can successfully read out the saccharide recognition behaviour of boronic acids and be potentially applied to healthcare devices m...

Successful drug delivery via lipid-based systems has often been aided by the incorporation of 'helper lipids'. While these neutral lipids enhance the effectiveness of cationic lipid-based delivery formulations, many questions remain about the nature of their beneficial effects. The structure of monolayers of the cationic lipid dimethyldioctadecylammonium bromide (DODAB) alone, and mixed with a ...

The free surface of water and the interface between water and a hydrophobic surface both have positive interface energies. The water density near a free surface drops below the bulk density, and thus it is expected that water near a hydrophobic surface will also show a density depletion. However, efforts by multiple groups to detect and characterize the predicted gap at water-hydrophobic interf...

We were able to fill 1 - 10 nm-scale silica pores with water by vapor condensation, and examined the freezing phenomena, structures, and molecular motions of the confined water in the temperature range from 293 to 188 K by 1H-NMR spectroscopy. The results showed that almost all water molecules confined in 10 nm-scale pores were frozen and that approximately half of the water confined in 1 nm-sc...

In this paper, we present the electronic, optical, and water-splitting properties of Fe-doped ZnO monolayer by first-principles method. The acquired results demonstrate that Fe doping induces band level decreases gap whereas intrinsic vacancies also induce levels enrich optoelectronic properties. formation energy validate in ZnO. We observed zinc vacancy can be created easily an oxygen-rich con...

The microscopic structure of Langmuir films of derivatized gold nanoparticles has been studied as a function of area/particle on the water surface. The molecules (AuSHDA) consist of gold particles of mean core diameter D approximately 22 angstroms that have been stabilized by attachment of carboxylic acid terminated alkylthiols, HS-(CH2)15-COOH. Compression of the film results in a broad platea...

The microscopic structure of Langmuir films of derivatized gold nanoparticles has been studied as a function of area/particle on the water surface. The molecules (AuSHDA) consist of gold particles of mean core diameter D;22 Å that have been stabilized by attachment of carboxylic acid terminated alkylthiols, HS– (CH2)15– COOH. Compression of the film results in a broad plateau of finite pressure...
