Diamondoids are cage-like hydrocarbon materials with unique characteristics such as low
dielectric constants, negative electron affinity, large steric bulk, and electron-donating ability …

The base pairing property and the “melting” behavior of oligonucleotides can take
advantage to develop new smart thermoresponsive and programmable materials …

We carried out a first-principles quantum-mechanical study of a set of full-turn A-form DNA
oligonucleotides using density functional approximations. The structural features of the fully …

Electrodes embedded in nanopores have the potential to detect the identity of biomolecules,
such as DNA. This identification is typically being done through electronic current …

DNA nucleotides can be interrogated by nanomaterials in order to be detected. With the aid
of quantum-mechanical simulations, we unravel the intrinsic details of the electronic …

In this review, functionalized nanogaps embedded in nanopores are discussed in view of
their high biosensitivity in detecting biomolecules, their length, type, and sequence. Specific …

Nowadays, hierarchical materials have received tremendous interests because of their
unique physical and chemical properties. In this article, a novel and facile particle …

DNA mutations and epigenetics have a vital role in cell development and human diseases.
The identification of mutants among healthy nucleotides is indispensable and engineered …

The potential of reading-out DNA molecules using functionalized electrodes embedded in
nanopores is discussed here. Focus is given on functionalization using tiny diamond-like …

We report on the specific interaction of a small diamond‐like molecule, known as
diamondoid, with single amino‐acids forming nano/bio molecular complexes. Using time …
