We discovered an out-of-equilibrium transition in the ideal gas between two walls, divided by an inner, adiabatic, movable wall. The system is driven out-of-equilibrium by supplying energy directly into the volume of the ...

Furylfulgides, a class of photochromic organic compounds, show a complex system of photoinduced reactions. In the present study, the excited-state dynamics of the E α and E β isomers of a representative furylfulgide is ...

Biocompatible polyacrylamide gel and core−shell nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized using a one-step electrochemically initiated gelation. Constant-potential electrochemical decomposing of ammonium persulfate initiated ...

Rheology of polymer solutions suffers from lack of universal model of viscosity applicable across wide range of concentrations. Here we build such a model on the basis of measured viscosity of polydimethylosiloxane (PDMS) ...

Chitosan-derived N-doped carbon materials are attractive candidates for the preparation of catalysts with a wide range of applications. Chitosan is a nitrogen rich (∼7 wt %) renewable biomass resource derived from seafood ...

Depleting conventional fuel reserves has prompted the demand for the exploration of renewable resources. Biomass is a widely available renewable resource that can be valorized to produce fuels, chemicals, and materials. ...

Renewable and sustainable functional nanomaterials, which can be employed in alternative green energy sources, are highly desirable. Transition metal chalcogenides are potential catalysts for processes resulting in energy ...

The effective viscosity in polymer solutions probed by diffusion of nanoparticles depends on their size. It is a well-defined function of the probe size, the radius of gyration, mesh size (correlation length), activation ...

Anthracyclines are one of the most studied anticancer drugs approved for medical treatment. The equilibrium constant (K) of the reaction between these drugs with DNA in both in vitro and in vivo experiments lacks consensus. ...

Quantitative description of the interaction between doxorubicin (DOX), a broadly used anticancer drug,and DNA is the key to understand the action mechanism and side effects of its clinical use. However,the reported equilibrium ...
