From the ion point-of-view specific ion effects (SIE) arise as an interplay of ionic size and
shape and charge distribution. However in aqueous systems SIE invariably involve water …

The hydration layer surrounding the phosphocholine headgroups of single-component
phosphatidylcholine lipids, or of lipid-mixtures, assembled at an interface greatly modifies …

Modern advances in neurotechnology rely on effectively harnessing physical tools and
insights towards remote neural control, thereby creating major new scientific and therapeutic …

A quantitative investigation of the responses of surface-grown biocompatible brushes of poly

In this study, the capability of a natural surfactant, lecithin, and the influence of ionic strength,
pH, and temperature on some properties of a food grade microemulsion system were …

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 presence and exchange of electrical charges on the surfaces of marine aerosols
influence their ability to act as cloud condensation nuclei and play a role in thundercloud …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) represent a promising class of compounds to fight resistant
infections. They are commonly thought to kill bacteria by perturbing the permeability of their …

As a result of their unique physical properties, biological membrane mimetics, such as
liposomes, are used in a broad range of scientific and technological applications …
