The reversible isomerism of indolinospirobenzopyrans is perhaps among the most studied phenomena in the field of molecular switches. Although they began to gain attention as early as 70 years ago following the seminal work of Hirshberg and Fischer, who wer ...
The one-step fabrication of gold films by inkjet printing of a gold precursor ink and its photochemical reduction by exposure to UV light is presented. Inkjet printing creates on a substrate with high control micrometer-thin reaction volumes in which upon ...
The complex organizations of amino acid residues on protein surfaces give rise to a wide space of functions for proteins. Great efforts are devoted in biology to understand such structure-property relationships. Many advanced characterization techniques ha ...
We report herein on the development of Ni-based catalyst using activated carbon fibres (ACFs) as a structured support and its application for the three‐phase hydrogenation of nitroarenes (T = 353 K; P = 10 bar). It was shown that metallic Ni0 nanoparticles ...
In nanoscopic systems, size, geometry, and arrangement are the crucial determinants of the light-matter interaction and resulting nanoparticles excitation. At optical frequencies, one of the most prominent examples is the excitation of localized surface pl ...
Light scattered by a dielectric object when it is trapped in the field of a plasmonic nanostructure is studied theoretically and experimentally using both dielectric spheres and S. cerevisiae cells. A dramatic enhancement of the scattered light is observed ...
Polymeric nanoparticle technology has evolved from drug carrier design to advanced multifunctional macromolecular structures. They enable drug delivery and release of a bioactive under spatio-temporal control rather than just passive release by a long-circ ...
