The establishment of a sessile community is believed to occur in a sequence of steps where
genetically distinct bacteria can become attached to partner cells via specific molecules, in a …

Nanocomposite materials consist of nanometer-sized quantum objects such as atoms,
molecules, voids or nanoparticles embedded in a host material. These quantum objects can …

Numerous linear and non-linear spectroscopic techniques have been developed to
elucidate structural and functional information of complex systems ranging from natural …

Chlorosomes are supramolecular aggregates that contain thousands of bacteriochlorophyll
molecules. They perform the most efficient ultrafast excitation energy transfer of all natural …

We present the implementation of the time-domain multichromophoric fluorescence
resonant energy transfer (TC-MCFRET) approach in the numerical integration of the …

The properties of soft electronic materials depend on the coupling of electronic and
conformational degrees of freedom over a wide range of spatiotemporal scales. The …

Self-assembled ordered structures, such as H-or J-type molecular aggregates of organic
chromophores, are extremely interesting materials for different optoelectronic applications …

Molecular self-assembly is a fundamental process in nature that can be used to develop
novel functional materials for medical and engineering applications. However, their complex …

Natural light-harvesting antennae employ a dense array of chromophores to optimize
energy transport via the formation of delocalized excited states (excitons), which are critically …

Here, we performed spectral simulations of the amide-I vibrational spectra for three
proposed fibril structures of the human islet amyloid polypeptide, which is involved in type II …
