An environmentally benign supercapacitor is developed incorporating an ionic liquid, carbon powder, a cellulose separator and a Molybdenum electrode. The ionic liquid is dispersed into a water-dissolvable polymer, poly(vinyl alcohol),…
Brevicidine and laterocidine are two recently discovered lipopeptide antibiotics with promising antibacterial activity. Possessing a macrocyclic core, multiple positive charges, and a lipidated N-terminus, these lipopeptides exhibit potent and selective…
Natural and artificial autonomous molecular machines operate by constantly dissipating energy coming from an external source to maintain a non-equilibrium state. The in-depth study of these dissipative states is highly…
The overwinding and underwinding of duplex segments between junctions have been used in designing both left-handed and right-handed DNA origami nanostructures. For a variety of DNA tubes obtained from self-assembled…
Discrete nanocages provide a way to solubilize, separate, and tune the properties of molecular guests, including fullerenes and other aromatics. However, few such nanocages can be synthesized efficiently from inexpensive…
