The understandings and applications of self-assembly have evolved significantly since the
adsorption of n-alkyldisulfides on gold surfaces was first reported. The desire to produce …

This review focuses on molecular ensemble junctions in which the individual molecules of a
monolayer each span two electrodes. This geometry favors quantum mechanical tunneling …

The properties of materials can be created and improved either by confining their
dimensions in the nanoscale or by controlling their nanostructure. We have combined these …

Nanoparticles can be used as the building blocks for materials such as supracrystals or ionic
liquids. However, they lack the ability to bond along specific directions as atoms and …

The gold–sulphur interface of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) was extensively studied
some time ago. More recently tremendous progress has been made in the preparation and …

We have developed a facile method for the construction of liquid-phase eutectic gallium–
indium (EGaIn) alloy nanoparticles. Particle formation is directed by molecular self-assembly …

Self-assembled monolayers are a unique class of nanostructured materials, with properties
determined by their molecular lattice structures, as well as the interfaces with their substrates …

This paper demonstrates that the molecular conformation (in addition to the composition and
structure) of molecules making up self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) influences the rates …

Redox enzymes, which catalyze reactions involving electron transfers in living organisms,
are very promising components of biotechnological devices, and can be envisioned for …

The alarming growth of the antibiotic-resistant superbugs methicillin-resistant
Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE) is driving the …
