Understanding and controlling interfaces has proven to be key to a very wide range of
applications, from optical and electronic materials 1, 2 to energy storage and production, 3 …

Compartmentalization is ubiquitous to many biological and artificial systems, be it for the
separate storage of incompatible matter or to isolate transport processes. Advancements in …

We present the analysis of the catalytic activity of gold nanoparticles in aqueous solution as
a function of temperature. As a model reaction, the reduction of p-nitrophenol (Nip) by …

Polymer brushes have been theoretically described, their behavior under diverse conditions
has been modeled, and their preparation via surface-initiated polymerizations (SIPs) has …

In the last two decades, advances in synthetic, experimental and modeling/simulation
methodologies have considerably enhanced our understanding of colloidal suspension …

The counterions neutralizing the charges on polyelectrolytes such as DNA or heparin may
dissociate in water and greatly influence the interaction of such polyelectrolytes with …

Nanoporous polyelectrolyte membranes with hierarchical and unique pore architectures can
be readily made via electrostatic complexation between imidazolium-based poly (ionic …

The structure and properties of amyloid-like Tau fibrils accumulating in neurodegenerative
diseases have been debated for decades. Although the core of Tau fibrils assembles from …

Heterogeneous ice nucleation (HIN) on ionic surfaces is ubiquitous in a wide range of
atmospheric aerosols and at biological interfaces. Despite its great importance in cirrus …

Biological materials fascinate us with their ability to withstand extreme mechanical forces
under complex conditions. Their excellent performance originates from a multilevel …
