Peptides can be computationally designed and engineered to achieve various functionalities and structures. Herein computational design was used to identify a set of 17 peptides having a wide range of putative charge states but the same tetrameric coiled
This paper reports the powder X-ray diffraction patterns, argon isotherms at 87 K, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller surface areas, pore size distributions, pore volumes, skeletal densities, and thermal gravimetric analyses for three National Institute of Standards

Geckos have the astonishing ability to climb on vertical surfaces due to the adhesive properties of fibrous setae at the tips of their toe pads. While the adhesion mechanism principle, based on van-der-Waals interactions of myriads of spatula located at
Standard electron beam powder-bed fusion Ti-6Al-4V powder recovery and hot-isostatic pressing has been found to result in a surface layer microstructure change to globular α/β. Thickness control of this surface layer up to 15 μm was demonstrated by varying

In this study, imidazolium-based polymerizable ionic liquids (Poly-ILs) are used to prepare novel polyionic biocomposites through Natural Fiber Welding. Two new Poly-ILs containing the 1-alkyl-3-vinylimidazolium cation and an alkylphosphonate anion were
This report describes a CIPM Key Comparison through the SIM/MWG-7 organization, concerning instrumented impact testing of low-energy (20 J) and high-energy (100 J) Charpy V-notch specimens. In this Comparison, various instrumented and non-instrumented data
Polymer nanocomposites containing self-assembled cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are ideal for advanced applications requiring both strength and toughness, as their helicoidal structure deflects crack propagation and the polymer matrix dissipates impact

Electrically detected magnetic resonance (EDMR) measurements have been extended to sub-mT measurements through utilization of frequency sweeping of the oscillating magnetic field, where conventional electron paramagnetic resonance-based measurements
We utilize the recently developed frequency-modulated charge pumping technique to detect a single charge per cycle, which strongly suggests a single Si/SiO2 interface trap. This demonstration in sub-micron MOSFETs, in which scaling of the gate oxide yields
