The focus of nanoscience and nanotechnology is gradually shifting from the synthesis of
individual components to their assembly into larger systems and nanostructured materials …

Understanding protein self-assembly is important for many biological and industrial
processes. Proteins can self-assemble into crystals, filaments, gels, and other amorphous …

Controlling interparticle interactions, aggregation and cluster formation is of central
importance in a number of areas, ranging from cluster formation in various disease …

The protein corona formed around nanoparticles in protein-rich fluids plays an important role
for nanoparticle biocompatibility, as found in several studies during the last decade …

Soft matter covers a wide range of materials based on linear or branched polymers, gels and
rubbers, amphiphilic (macro) molecules, colloids, and self-assembled structures. These …

Noble metal nanocrystals (NCs) have become one of the hottest fields in nanoscience due
to their unique/strong interactions with extra electromagnetic field, which are known as …

We have studied a series of samples of bovine serum albumin (BSA) solutions with protein
concentration, c, ranging from 2 to 500 mg/mL and ionic strength, I, from 0 to 2 M by small …

The aggregates and gels commonly observed during protein crystallization have generally
been considered disordered phases without further characterization. Here their physical …

An abrupt climate warming of 5 to 10° C during the Palaeocene/Eocene boundary thermal
maximum (PETM) 55 Myr ago is linked to the catastrophic release of∼ 1,050–2,100 Gt of …

We investigated the freezing of colloidal spheres in two dimensions with single-particle
resolution. Using micron-size, charge-stabilized polystyrene spheres with a temperature …
