the present paper investigates the advantages of a new class of composite grid structures over conventional grids. thus far, a known grid structure such as orthogrid or isogrid has been used as an orthotropic layer with at most in-plane anisotropy. the present laminated grid is composed of various numbers of thin composite grid layers. the stiffness of the structure can be adjusted by choosing ...

A second, monoclinic, polymorph of the title compound, C19H19N3O, is reported. In this polymorph, the molecules are linked into chains by paired C-H...pi hydrogen bonds and the chains are linked into sheets by pi stacking interactions.

Eastern Indonesia is tectonically complex, formed by different plates and microplates interactions from origins. This complexity gives geoscientists a challenge to solve the ’jigsaw’ of complex interactions. The understanding tectonic processes can lead breakthrough in both resource exploration disaster risk reduction. We utilize teleseismic P wave coda for random scattering deterministic origi...

Synergistic therapy is a promising strategy for cancer treatment. A nanoparticle with chemo-photodynamic properties was fabricated via π-π stacking interactions between the drug and photosensitizer. It exhibited efficient anticancer activity both in vitro and in vivo.

We have developed an approach to generate micropatterns of anisotropic organic materials which exploits the self-organization, driven by pi-stacking and hydrophobic interactions, of an ionic perylenebis(dicarboximide) in aqueous solutions.

Molecular tweezers with a 2,4,6-triphenyl-1,3,5-triazine spacer exhibit diverse dimerization through pi-pi stacking interactions in the solid state, and these dimeric species form highly organized supramolecular networks.

Symmetric breaking of silver double helicates through spontaneous crystallization was achieved via incorporation of C-H...pi and pi-pi stacking interactions of achiral ligands consisting of several aromatic rings.

The efficiency of sequencing by hybridization to an oligonucleotide microchip grows with an increase in the number and in the length of the oligonucleotides; however, such increases raise enormously the complexity of the microchip and decrease the accuracy of hybridization. We have been developing the technique of contiguous stacking hybridization (CSH) to circumvent these shortcomings. Stackin...
