Nonequilibrium Strategy for Fast Target Search on the Genome
Vital biological processes such as genome repair require fast and efficient binding of selected proteins to specific target sites on DNA. Here we propose an active target search mechanism based on “chromophoresis,” the dynamics...

Production of Nanoemulsions Using Anodic Alumina Membranes in a Stirred-Cell Setup

Oil-in-water nanoemulsions (NEs) were produced in a dead-end stirred cell setup for the first time using bespoke anodic alumina membranes (AAMs). The regular pore structure and narrow pore size distribution of AAMs enabled...

From sustainability commitment to performance
Organisations increasingly see sustainability as an important element of their business strategies, and the role of purchasing and supply functions is critical in translating sustainability commitment into performance. Yet, the...

Semi-continuous production of iron oxide nanoparticles via membrane emulsification

The large-scale production of nanomaterials with fine control over their shape, size and properties remains a major obstacle towards their further use. Here, the semi-continuous production of metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs)...

Electroosmotic flow in nanoporous membranes in the region of electric double layer overlap
Hannah Leese, Davide Mattia
Apr 01, 2014
This study investigates electroosmotic flow (EOF) with sodium tetraborate buffer in nanoporous anodized alumina membranes. Membranes with pore diameters ranging from 8 to 100 nm have been fabricated with narrow pore size...

Wetting of nanotubes
Sofia Bekou, Davide Mattia
Aug 01, 2011
Wettability studies of liquids inside nanometre scale channels commenced shortly after the discovery of carbon nanotubes in the early 1990s. Since then the field has progressively expanded to other kinds of nanotubes and...

Conductive metal–organic frameworks and networks
Electrical conduction is well understood in materials formed from inorganic or organic building blocks, but their combination to produce conductive hybrid frameworks and networks is an emerging and rapidly developing field of...

Thickness, stability and contact angle of liquid films on and inside nanofibres, nanotubes and nanochannels
While the stability of liquid films on substrates is a classical topic of colloidal science, the availability of nanostructured materials, such as nanotubes, nanofibres and nanochannels, has raised the question of how the...

Threading-Induced Dynamical Transition in Tadpole-Shaped Polymers
The relationship between polymer topology and bulk rheology remains a key question in soft matter physics. Architecture-specific constraints (or threadings) are thought to control the dynamics of ring polymers in ring–linear...

Expression of a functional eotaxin (CC chemokine ligand 11) receptor CCR3 by human dendritic cells
Critical to the function of Ag-presenting dendritic cells (DCs) is their capacity to migrate to lymphoid organs and to sites of inflammation. A final stage of development, termed maturation, yields DCs that are strong...

Ligand design for long-range magnetic order in metal-organic frameworks

We report a class of ligands that are candidates to construct metal-organic frameworks with long-range magnetic order between transition metal centres. Direct quantum chemical calculations predict Néel temperatures exceeding...

Explaining high flow rate of water in carbon nanotubes via solid-liquid molecular interactions
Davide Mattia, F Calabrò
Jul 01, 2012
Experimental and simulation measurements of water flow through carbon nanotubes have shown orders of magnitude higher flow rates than what was predicted using continuum fluid mechanics models. Different explanations have been...
