Biomineralization, the complex process leading to the formation of organized mineral crystals, persists throughout life and is fundamental in bone formation, repair, and remodeling. In human bone mesenchymal stem cells...
The approach based on atomic pair distribution function (PDF) has revolutionized structural investigations by X-ray/electron diffraction of nano or quasi-amorphous materials, opening up the possibility of exploring short-range order. However,...
Unveiling the Influence of Hydrated Deep Eutectic Solvents on the Dynamics of Water-Soluble Proteins
Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are mixtures of two ormore purecompounds (e.g., Lewis or Bronsted acids and bases, anionic and/orcationic species) in a well-defined stoichiometric proportion, witha melting point lower to...
The RootProf computer program applies multivariate model-free analysis to crystallographic data and to any x, y experimental data in general. It has been enhanced with several new features, including a...
Perylene diimides (PDI) are workhorses in the field of organic electronics, owing to their appealing n-semiconducting properties. Optimization of their performances is widely pursued by bay-atom substitution and diverse imide...
The discovery of new 3D perovskites and their 2D and 1D analogues continues to attract the interest of the scientific community and therefore the understanding of their structural, optical, and...
Magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) have gained momentum in the field of biomedical applications. They can be remotely heated via alternating magnetic fields, and such heat can be transferred from...
The field of hybrid organic-inorganic perovskite materials continues to attract the interest of the scientific community due to their fascinating properties and the plethora of promising applications in photovoltaic and...
The Debye scattering equation (DSE) [Debye (1915). Ann. Phys. 351, 809-823] is widely used for analyzing total scattering data of nanocrystalline materials in reciprocal space. In its modified form (MDSE)...
Naphthalene tetracarboxylic diimides (NDIs) are highly promising air-stable n-type molecular semiconductor candidates for flexible and cost-effective organic solar cells and thermoelectrics. Nonetheless, thermal and polymorphic stabilities of environmentally stable NDIs...
