Robust, void-free Cu electrodeposition in high-aspect ratio features relies on careful tuning of electrolyte additives and electrochemical parameters for a given feature dimension or wafer pattern. Typically, Cu electrodeposition in electronics

HBV replication is initiated by the binding of polymerase (P) to epsilon (ε), a 61 nucleotide (nt) cis -acting regulatory stem-loop RNA located at the 5′-end of the pregenomic RNA (pgRNA). This interaction triggers protein-primed reverse transcription and

Photothermal induced resonance (PTIR), also known as AFM IR, enables nanoscale infrared (IR) imaging and spectroscopy by using the tip of an atomic force microscope to transduce the local photothermal expansion and contraction of a sample. The signal
Atomistic simulation of the electrochemical double layer is an ambitious undertaking, requiring quantum mechanical description of electrons, phase space sampling of liquid electrolytes, and equilibration of electrolytes over nanosecond timescales. All
Setting up molecular dynamics simulations from experimentally determined structures is often complicated by a variety of factors, particularly the inclusion of carbohydrates, since these have several forms which can be linked in a variety of ways. Here we

Porous metal-organic frameworks are a class of materials with great promise in gas separation and gas storage applications. Due to the large material space, computational screening techniques have long been an important part of the scientific toolbox
A variety of OH containing molecules in their different modes of adsorption onto the rutile TiO2(110) are studied by means of density functional theory. A special focus is given to ethanol, ethylene glycol and glycerol. The different species were analyzed
True thermodynamic stability of a solid colloidal dispersion is generally unexpected, so much so that a thorough experimental validation of proposed stable systems remains incomplete. Such dispersions are underinvestigated and would be of interest because
The structural characterization of branched polymers still poses experimental challenges despite their technological potential. This lack of clarity is egregious in linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), a common industrial plastic. Here, we design a
