Nanosized fertilizers are the new frontier of nanotechnology towards a sustainable agriculture. Here, an efficient N-nanofertilizer is obtained by post-synthetic modification (PSM) of nitrate-doped amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) nanoparticles (NPs)...
The occurrence of an amorphous calcium phosphate layer covering the crystalline apatite core has been suggested to be an intrinsic feature of both bone mineral and synthetic biomimetic analogs. However,...
Colloidal nanocrystals (NCs) of fully inorganic lead halide perovskites (LHPs) are the latest generation of quantum-dot materials with compelling optical characteristics. Favored by the nearly regular cubic shape of NCs,...
Zinc oxide (ZnO) is a largely investigated semiconducting nanomaterial for photocatalytic applications and is an excellent active layer candidate in photovoltaics. Among native defects, having a primary role in ZnO...
Outstanding structure-function relationships of modern complex functional materials, are often due their dynamic heterogeneous structure and composition. These materials are characterized by weak competing interactions between structural units, giving rise...
We study the temporal stability of stripe-type spin order in a layered nickelate with x-ray photon correlation spectroscopy and observe fluctuations on timescales of tens of minutes over a wide...
Dipyridamole is currently used as a medication that inhibits blood clot formation and it is also investigated in the context of neurodegenerative and other amyloid related diseases. Here, we propose...
A reduced proteasome activity tiles excessive amyloid growth during the progress of protein conformational diseases (PCDs). Hence, the development of safe and effective proteasome enhancers represents an attractive target for...
Type 2 Diabetes is a major public health threat, and its prevalence is increasing worldwide. The abnormal accumulation of islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) in pancreatic ?-cells is associated with the...
Carfilzomib is a last generation proteasome inhibitor (PI) with proven clinical efficacy in the treatment of relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma. This drug is considered to be extremely specific in inhibiting the...
