Raman spectroscopy is an increasingly popular technique in many areas, including biology
and medicine. It is based on Raman scattering, a phenomenon in which incident photons …

The pathogenesis underlining many neurodegenerative diseases remains incompletely
understood. The lack of effective biomarkers and disease preventative medicine demands …

Diphenylalanine is an amyloidogenic building block that can form a versatile array of
supramolecular materials. Its shortcomings, however, include the uncontrolled hierarchical …

Nanostructures composed of short, noncyclic peptides represent a growing field of research
in nanotechnology due to their ease of production, often remarkable material properties, and …

Nanocrystals refer to materials with at least one dimension smaller than 100 nm, composing
of atoms arranged in single crystals or polycrystals. Nanocrystals have significant research …

Short peptide hydrogels are attractive biomaterials but typically suffer from limited
mechanical properties. Inclusion of other nanomaterials can serve the dual purpose of …

Semiconducting materials are increasingly proposed as alternatives to noble metal
nanomaterials to enhance Raman scattering. We demonstrate that bioinspired …

A nonlinear optical effect of a second harmonic generation (SHG) was first observed in
quartz and then found in many inorganic materials that have an asymmetric crystalline …

An unreported d, l‐tripeptide self‐assembled into gels that embedded FeII4L4 metal–
organic cages to form materials that were characterized by TEM, EDX, Raman spectroscopy …

Dipeptides are convenient building blocks for supramolecular gel biomaterials that can be
produced on a large scale at low cost and do not persist in the environment. In the case of …
