Sacrificial Bonds in Polymer Brushes from Rat Tail Tendon Functioning as Nanoscale Velcro
ABSTRACT Polymers play an important role in many biological systems, so a fundamental understanding of their cross-links is crucial not only for the development ...(keep on reading)
Bromine- and Chlorine-Induced Degradation of Gold-Aluminum Bonds
The presence of bromine (Br) in flame retardant epoxies accelerates the degradation of gold-aluminum wire bonds. This experiment tests degradation by adding 5 wt.% 2,6-dibromophenol to the regular mo(keep on reading)
Material mimics mother-of-pearl in form and substance - Material Science - Brief Article
Gleaming, iridescent mother-of-pearl possesses more than beauty. The material, technically called nacre, has strength and toughness that materials scientists ...(keep on reading)
Membrane Electroporation: A Molecular Dynamics Simulation
ABSTRACT We present results of molecular dynamics simulations of lipid bilayers under a high transverse electrical field aimed at investigating their electroporation. Several systems are studied, nam(keep on reading)
Single Chromatin Fiber Stretching Reveals Physically Distinct Populations of Disassembly Events
