Rapid controlled self-assembly makes DNA ideal for building nanostructures. A problem using hybridized intermediates in hierarchic assembly is their thermodynamic lability. We demonstrate a click-fixation technology by which robust hexagonal DNA modules can be made. This principle is applicable to a wide variety of DNA nanoconstructs.

A special and important task in medicinal implant technology is to prevent the material from fouling or make it compatible for tissues by coating the material with functionalized lipid biomolecules. In order to rationalize the design of such new materials structural information about the film is needed. In this presentation we give an account on the investigation of coating of the tetraetherlip...

ultraviolet waves, because of their short wavelength, have a high energy and considerable damaging effects on surfaces. protection against ultraviolet radiations is one of the finishing treatments done on surfaces exposed to sunlight. the importance of this issue in relation to human health, due to complications such as skin burns and cancer, is doubled. up to now, different materials such as z...

PURPOSE Rapid development of nanotechnology has recently brought significant attention to the extraordinary biological features of nanomaterials. The objective of the present investigation was to evaluate morphological characteristics of the assembles of gold and platinum nanoparticles (nano-Au and nano-Pt respectively), with Salmonella Enteritidis (Gram-negative) and Listeria monocytogenes (Gr...

Environmental, health, and safety (EHS) concerns are receiving considerable attention in nanoscience and nanotechnology (nano) research and development (R&D). Policymakers and others have urged that research on nano's EHS implications be developed alongside scientific research in the nano domain rather than subsequent to applications. This concurrent perspective suggests the importance of early...

Biodegradable materials are currently attracting the attention of scientists as for implants in reconstructive medicine. At same time, ceramics based on calcium silicates promising bone recovery, because Ca2+ and Si2+ ions necessary mineralization process, they take an active part formation apatite. In presented research, protective silicate biocoatings a Mg0.8Ca alloy were formed by means micr...
