Emulsion-templated silica nanocapsules formed using bio-inspired silicification.
A novel, bio-inspired templating platform technology is reported for the synthesis of biocompatible oil-core silica-shell nanocapsules with tunable shell thickness by utilizing a designed bifunctional peptide. Furthermore, facile encapsulation of an active molecule and its sustained release are demonstrated.
متن کاملA possible mechanism of biological silicification in plants
Plants are significant exponents of biological silicification. While not all plants are generally considered as biosilicifiers the extent to which all plants deposit biogenic silica is largely unknown. There are plants which are known as silica accumulators though even in these plants the extent and degree to which their tissues are silicified is neither appreciated nor understood. An elucidati...
متن کاملThermal Stability and Chemistry of Fluorescent Nanocrystals for Use as a Novel Geothermal Tracer
Fluorescent nanocrystals are promising candidates for a range of applications, ranging from biomedical imaging and sensing to solar energy conversion and lighting. Recently, these nanometer-sized semiconductor crystals (also referred to as “quantum dots”) have shown potential to be used as novel geothermal reservoir tracer particles. Quantum dots have size-dependent, tunable electronic and opti...
متن کاملA novel fluorescent tracer for visualizing coupled cells in neural circuits of living tissue.
Gap junctions have diverse roles in a wide variety of tissues and have recently become a subject of intense investigation in neural circuits where synchrony and oscillations may play an important part. In circuits where gap junctions are present, the possibility arises of identifying intercommunicating cells via introduction of tracer into one cell and observing its spread into its coupled neig...
