Chemical surfactants are omnipresent in consumer products, but they are the subject of
environmental concerns. For this reason, the complete replacement of petrochemical …

The current challenges of structural biophysics include determining the structure of large self-
assembled complexes, resolving the structure of ensembles of complex structures and their …

Ordered mesoporous silica materials gain high interest because of their potential
applications in catalysis, selective adsorption, separation, and controlled drug release. Due …

Abstract Background Among nanodrugs, PEGylated nanoliposomes loaded with an active
agent are of major importance. In this paper we studied the structures and morphology of …

The sessile nature of plants demands the development of seed-dispersal mechanisms to
establish new growing loci. Dispersal strategies of many species involve drying of the …

Remarkably, uniform virus-like particles self-assemble in a process that appears to follow a
rapid kinetic mechanism. The mechanisms by which spherical viruses assemble from …

The family Geraniaceae is characterized by a beak‐like fruit, consisting of five seeds
appended by a tapering awn. The awns exhibit coiling or bending hygroscopic movement as …

Recently, developing drug delivery systems exhibiting controlled drug release at the tumor
sites emerged as an attractive option for enhancing anticancer therapeutic efficacy. It seems …

In fuel cells and electrolyzers, suboptimal proton conductivity and its dramatic drop at low
humidity remain major drawbacks in proton exchange membranes (PEMs), including current …

For many viruses, capsids (biological nanoparticles) assemble to protect genetic material
and dissociate to release their cargo. To understand these contradictory properties, we …
