Colloidal semiconductor–metal nanoheterostructures that combine the light-harvesting ability of semiconductor nanocrystals with catalytic activity small metal nanoparticles show promising applications for photocatalysis, including light-driven H2 production. The exciton in domain can be quenched by electron-, hole-, and energy transfer to particle, competition between these processes determines photocatalytic efficiency materials. Using ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopy, we that,...

Significance T cells protect the body against pathogens and cancer by recognizing specific foreign peptides on cell surface. Because antigen recognition occurs at junction between a migrating an antigen-presenting (APC), it is likely that cellular forces are generated transmitted through T-cell receptor (TCR)-ligand bonds. Here we develop DNA-based nanoparticle tension sensor producing first molecular maps of TCR-ligand during activation. We find TCR orchestrated in space time, requiring...

The conductance of single-molecule junctions may be governed by the structure molecule in gap or way it bonds with leads, and information contained a Raman spectrum is ideal for examining both. Here we demonstrate that molecule-to-surface bonding characterized during electron transport 'fishing-mode' tip-enhanced spectroscopy (FM-TERS). This technique allows mutually verifiable signals contributions to acquired simultaneously at room temperature. Density functional theory calculations reveal...

We report the design of two collagen-mimetic peptide sequences, NSI and NSII, that self-assemble into structurally defined nanoscale sheets. The underlying structure these nanosheets can be understood in terms layered packing collagen triple helices dimensions. These nanosheet assemblies represent a novel morphology for collagen-based materials, which, on basis their structure, may envisioned as potentially biocompatible platforms controlled presentation chemical functionality at nanoscale....

Herein we aimed to understand how nanoscale clustering of RGD ligands alters the mechano-regulation their integrin receptors. We combined molecular tension fluorescence microscopy with block copolymer micelle nanolithography fabricate substrates arrays precisely spaced probes that can generate a 10-fold response pN-forces. found mechanism sensing ligand spacing is force-mediated. This strategy broadly applicable investigating receptor and its role in mechanotransduction pathways.

Colloidal one-dimensional semiconductor nanoheterostructures have emerged as an important family of functional materials for solar energy conversion, although the nature long-lived exciton state and their formation dissociation dynamics remain poorly understood. In this paper we study these in CdSe/CdS dot-in-rod (DIR) NRs, a representative 1D heterostructures, DIR-electron-acceptor complexes by transient absorption spectroscopy. Because quasi-type II band alignment CdSe CdS, it is often...

Recent studies of group II-VI colloidal semiconductor heterostuctures, such as CdSe/CdS core/shell quantum dots (QDs) or dot-in-rod nanorods, show that type II and quasi-type band alignment can facilitate electron transfer slow down charge recombination in QD-molecular acceptor complexes. To explore the general applicability this wave function engineering approach for controlling properties, we investigate exciton relaxation dissociation dynamics InP (a III-V semiconductor) InP/CdS...

Poly‑l‑lactic acid (PLLA) is a promising bone repair material because of its good biocompatibility and natural degradability. Nevertheless, the poor mechanical properties local inflammatory response limits further application in repair. In this research, nano magnesium oxide (nMgO) was incorporated into PLLA scaffold manufactured by selective laser sintering technique. Results shown that nMgO with affinity to could act as nucleating agent during crystallization process effectively enhance...
