Dewetting is a spontaneous phenomenon where a thin film on a surface ruptures into an
ensemble of separated objects, like droplets, stripes, and pillars. Spatial correlations with …

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are key regulatory molecules, but unlike with other RNAs,
the direct link between their tertiary structure motifs and their function has proven elusive …

While the widespread emergence of nanoscience and nanotechnology can be dated back to
the early eighties, the last decade has witnessed a true coming of age of this research field …

The apparently anomalous flexibility of DNA on short length scales has attracted a lot of
attention in recent years. We use atomic force microscopy (AFM) in solution to directly study …

Ligand-protected gold nanoparticles exhibit large local curvatures, features rapidly varying
over small scales, and chemical heterogeneity. Their imaging by scanning tunneling …

An enhanced biocompatibility from nanodot patterned TiO 2 surfaces, fabricated by ion
beam sputtering, has been observed here through its interaction with plasmid DNA …

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) besides X‐ray crystallography and electron microscopy is
one of the most attractive methods to study bio/nonbio complexes. Information on how …

A novel application of replica molding to a forensic problem, viz. the accurate reproduction of
the case head of gun and rifle cartridges, prior and after been shot, is presented. The …

Abstract X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) has been used to study the interactions of
heavy metal ions with DNA with some success. Surface sensitivity and selectivity of XPS are …

High-resolution microscopy techniques have been extensively used to investigate the
structure of soft, biological matter at the nanoscale, from very thin membranes to small …
