The Martini model, a coarse‐grained force field for molecular dynamics simulations, has
been around for nearly two decades. Originally developed for lipid‐based systems by the …

Organic ligands are essential in the growth of monodisperse colloidal inorganic
nanocrystals and can be leveraged to create a wide variety of shapes and sizes. Inorganic …

Chemical methods developed over the past two decades enable preparation of colloidal
nanocrystals with uniform size and shape. These Brownian objects readily order into …

Self-assembly is possibly the most effective and versatile strategy for surface
functionalization. Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) can be formed on (semi-) conductor …

Background All soft and solid surface structures in the oral cavity are covered by the
acquired pellicle followed by bacterial colonization. This applies for natural structures as …

BACKGROUND Interactions between inorganic nanoparticles (NPs) are central to a wide
spectrum of physical, chemical, and biological phenomena. An understanding of these …

The subject of this review is the colloidal quantum dot (QD) and specifically the interaction of
the QD with proximate molecules. It covers various functions of these molecules, including (i) …

Coinage metals, such as Au, Ag, and Cu, have been important materials throughout
history.(1) Although in ancient cultures they were admired primarily for their ability to reflect …

The assessment of the risks exerted by nanoparticles is a key challenge for academic,
industrial, and regulatory communities worldwide. Experimental evidence points towards …

The bottom-up assembly of nanoparticles into diverse ordered solids is a challenge because
it requires nanoparticles, which are often quasi-spherical, to have interaction anisotropy akin …
