Three-point bending tests were performed on double-anchored, < 110 > silicon nanowire samples in the vacuum chamber of a scanning electron microscope ( SEM) via a micromanipulator equipped with a piezoresistive force sensor. Nanowires with widths of 35nm a ...

To meet the future global energy demand - an estimated additional 10 terawatts (TWs) per year in 2050 - a diversification of energy sources and fuels is needed. Solar energy represents a prominent alternative energy source. An important material for these ...

Centrioles are evolutionarily conserved multi-protein organelles essential for forming cilia and centrosomes. Centriole biogenesis begins with self-assembly of SAS-6 proteins into 9-fold symmetrical ring polymers, which then stack into a cartwheel that sca ...

Unique properties of domain walls in ferroelectrics have been recently discovered but methods of their controlled engineering remain underdeveloped. Here we investigate the domain structure of Bi0.9La0.1FeO3 epitaxial thin films with piezoelectric force mi ...

High-resolution live-cell imaging is necessary to study complex biological phenomena. Modern fluorescence microscopy methods are increasingly combined with complementary, label-free techniques to put the fluorescence information into the cellular context. ...

Magnetic nanoparticle based hyperthermia emerged as a potential tool for treating malignant tumours. The efficiency of the method relies heavily on the knowledge of magnetic properties of the samples; in particular, knowledge of the frequency dependent com ...

Amyloids are insoluble protein fibrillar aggregates. The importance of characterizing their aggregation has steadily increased because of their link to human diseases and material science applications. In particular, misfolding and aggregation of the Josep ...

A new and versatile fabrication process of insulated gold tip probes for atomic force microscopy (AFM) is presented by Wu et al. (In-plane fabricated insulated gold-tip probe for electrochemical and molecular experiments, in: 2013 IEEE 26th International C ...

By combining two independent approaches, inelastic neutron-scattering measurements and density-functionaltheory calculations, we study the spin waves in the collinear antiferromagnetic phase (AFM2) of Mn5Si3. We obtain its magnetic ground-state properties ...

Electronic-structure calculations based on hybrid functionals have emerged as a standard technique used in physics, chemistry, and material science. Despite this success, hybrid functionals have the drawback of containing undetermined parameters. To overc ...

Despite significant advances in the fabrication and applications of graphene-like materials, it remains a challenge to prepare single-layered metallic materials, which have great potential applications in physics, chemistry and material science. Here we re ...

Laser powder bed fusion is an efficient technique for additive manufacturing of metallic materials. The quality of the material produced depends on the optimization of a large range of build parameters and the complex thermo-mechanical build process is pro ...

Solid-liquid interfaces are central to nanoscale science and technology and control processes as diverse as self-assembly, heterogeneous catalysis, wetting, electrochemistry, or protein function. Experimentally, measuring the structure and dynamics of soli ...

The true understanding of most cellular functions is only really achievable through the structural determination of their underlying macromolecular assemblies. However, their size, large number of individual components and metastable states make their eluc ...

In this contribution we present a scanning probe with a gold-tip completely encapsulated with insulator all the way to the apex. The probe fabrication is unique owing to an in-plane arrangement in which the width of the cantilever is defined by deep reacti ...

The billion tons of synthetic-polymer-based materials (i.e. plastics) produced yearly are a great challenge for humanity. Nature produces even more natural polymers, yet they are sustainable. Proteins are sequence-defined natural polymers that are constant ...

Magnetic domains and domain walls in epitaxial Fe3O4(100) elements (rings and wires) are imaged using magnetic force microscopy and photoemission electron microscopy. We show that the interplay between the four-fold magnetocrystalline anisotropy and the sh ...

Imaging live cells in their native environment is crucial for the understanding of complex biological phenomena. Modern optical microscopy methods such as fluorescence super-resolution microscopy are increasingly combined with complementary, label-free tec ...

Mechanical properties of nanostructures could be remarkably different from their bulk counterparts owing to scale effects, which have attracted considerable research interest in recent years. However, nanomechanics studies are hindered by the difficulties ...
