Nanotechnology is a multidisciplinary field that covers a vast and diverse array of devices
and machines derived from engineering, physics, materials science, chemistry and biology …

In this research, we present results of simulated annealing (SA), a heuristic optimization
algorithm, for focusing light through a turbid medium. Performance of the algorithm on phase …

Interfacial electrostatic potential gradients arise from nonuniform charge distributions
encountered crossing the interface. The charges involved can include the molecular …

We outline a method to investigate the role of nuclear quantum effects in liquid water making
use of a force field derived from ab initio simulations. Starting from a first-principles …

This work seeks to identify the mechanisms by which hydronium ions (H3O+) modulate the
structure of phospholipid bilayers by studying the interactions of H3O+ with phospholipids at …

A general computational method is introduced to estimate the Poisson's ratio for membranes
with small thickness. In this method, the Poisson's ratio is calculated by utilizing a rescaling …

At the 2017 meeting of the Australian Society for Biophysics, we presented the combined
results from two recent studies showing how hydronium ions (H 3 O+) modulate the structure …

The freeform surface adaptive interferometer (FSAI) recently has been employed to realize
the unknown freeform surface metrology. A near null interferogram should be acquired from …

It has been recently shown [P. Partovi-Azar, A. Namiranian, J. Phys.: Condens. Matter, 24
(2012) 035301.] that Stone–Wales (SW) defects induce different electronic features when …

We report the lipid-composition dependent photocycle kinetics and proton pump activity of
bacteriorhodopsin (bR) embedded in nanodiscs composed of different lipids. Using time …
