Hybrid membranes, consisting of phospholipids and amphiphilic block polymers, offer enhanced stability compared to liposomes and greater biocompatibility than polymersomes. These qualities make them a versatile platform for a wide...

Translation of photophysical properties of fluorescent sensors from solution to solid-gas environments functionalized surfaces constitutes a challenge in chemistry. In this work, we report on the chemical synthesis, barium capture...

Metal ions are well-known cofactors of protein function and stability. In the case of the integral membrane enzyme OmpLA (outer membrane phospholipase A) the active dimer is stabilized by calcium...

Ce-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have recently gained scientific interest, since Ce is the most abundant rare-earth element in the Earth's crust and since their synthesis has some advantages, including first...

We present newly developed buffer systems that significantly improve the efficiency of a photochemically induced surface modification at the single molecule level. Buffers with paramagnetic cations and radical oxygen promoting...

Biofilms in infections are a major health-care challenge and strategies to reduce their formation on medical devices are crucial. Fabrication of superhydrophobic coatings based on hydrocarbon adsorption on rare-earth oxides...

We demonstrate 230 MHz photodetection and a switching energy of merely 27 fJ using WSe multilayers and a very simple device architecture. This improvement over previous, slower WSe devices is...
