From small molecules to entire organisms, evolution has refined biological structures at the
nanoscale, microscale and macroscale to be chiral—that is, mirror dissymmetric. Chirality …

Polymer nanocomposite dielectrics possess exceptional electric properties that are absent
in the pristine dielectric polymers. The matrix/particle interface in polymer nanocomposite …

Biosensors and nanoscale analytical tools have shown huge growth in literature in the past
20 years, with a large number of reports on the topic of 'ultrasensitive','cost-effective', and …

Mechanobiology emerges at the crossroads of medicine, biology, biophysics and
engineering and describes how the responses of proteins, cells, tissues and organs to …

Physical forces and mechanical properties have critical roles in cellular function, physiology
and disease. Over the past decade, atomic force microscopy (AFM) techniques have …

Organic (opto) electronic materials have received considerable attention due to their
