In the clinically relevant field of tissue oximetry, there is an urgent need to develop phantom-based methods for validation. Physical phantom approaches based on solid or liquid turbid media containing hemoglobin with variable oxygenation have limited

We use all-atom molecular dynamics simulations informed by density functional theory calculations to investigate aqueous ion transport across subnanoporous monolayer molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) membranes subject to varying tensile strains. Driven by a

Dosage of chemotherapeutic drugs is a tradeoff between efficacy and side-effects. Liposomes are nanocarriers that increase therapy efficacy and minimize side-effects by delivering otherwise difficult to administer therapeutics with improved efficiency and

Animal models are the most biologically relevant method for measuring the osteogenic capability of bone graft formulations. However, animal experiments are slow, tedious and the results can be highly variable, even when conducted within the same lab. In
The nanoscale hygromechanical behavior of lignin is presented in this work. Three atomic force microscopy experimental methods were used to correlate moisture sorption of lignin to its mechanicalbehavior. First, sorption isotherms were established using

Based on its standard reduction potential, ferriciniummethanol can act as an alternate electron acceptor to oxygen during cellular metabolism. By locally oxidizing ferrocenemethanol at a platinum microelectrode, we probed the activity of individual human

We introduce an optomechanical transducer-based nanoscale cantilever for atomic force microscope (AFM). The high optical quality factor of the microdisk resonator enables detection of the nanoscale cantilever motion with high sensitivity. A low stiffness

Attempts to emulate strong and tough natural composites using wood cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) fall short in mechanical performance due to the low shear transfer ability of CNC interfaces in their helicoidal ensembles. This shortcoming is ascribed to the
[FeFe]-hydrogenases are efficient enzymes that produce hydrogen gas under mild conditions. Synthetic model compounds containing all CO or mixed CO/PMe3 ligands have been studied with ultrafast ultraviolet (UV) or visible pump-infrared (IR) probe
