Introduction: Dystroglycan (DG) is an adhesion complex comprising two subunits, α-DG and β-DG, which interact non-covalently at the plasma membrane. As a component of the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex DGC, DG plays...
Disclosing the full potential of functional nanomaterials requires the optimization of synthetic protocols and an effective size screening tool, aiming at triggering their size-dependent properties. Here we demonstrate the successful...
Hybrid lead-tin (Pb-Sn) perovskites have emerged as a promising avenue for photovoltaic technology with reduced toxicity and optimized bandgap. However, scaling up Pb-Sn perovskite solar cells (PSCs) from laboratory to...
Synchrotron x-ray diffraction has been used to study the thermal structure evolution in CuBa2Ca3Cu4O10+s (Cu1234), a superconductor which exhibits a high critical temperature (TC approximate to 118 K), high critical...
Since 1994, the Elettra hard X-ray diffraction beamlines dedicated to material science are supporting a large community of userscoming from different scientific and technological sectors. These beamlines are playing a...
This study presents the design, synthesis, and characterization of a novel series of structurally simple, selective, and functionally biased CB2receptor (CB2R) agonists with potent anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties. These compounds...
SUNBIM (supramolecular and submolecular nano- and biomaterials X-ray imaging) is a computer suite of integrated programs which, through a user-friendly graphical interface, is able to perform a number of functions...
Artificial high-T-c superlattices (AHTS) composed of quantum building blocks with tunable superconducting critical temperature have been synthesized by engineering their nanoscale geometry using the Bianconi-PeraliValletta (BPV) two-gap superconductivity theory. These...
The manipulation of light through its interactions with artificially structured media is a cornerstone of photonics. The rescaling of this concept to the X-ray realm-which will enable us to control...
The catalytic incorporation of both carbon oxides into an organic substrate is one of the most difficult targets to achieve in catalysis. So far, a process like this has been...
