Nanocrystalline Ni-Co alloys were synthesized using pulsed electrodeposition from a Watts-type bath, and the various plating parameters were systematically varied to examine their effect on the composition, quality, and ...

In a world where the miniaturization and the portability of electronic devices is king, batteries play an ever-increasingly important role. They are vital components in many consumer electronics such as cell phones and ...

A low-temperature, ambient pressure solution synthesis of colloidal InN nanoparticles is presented. This synthesis utilizes a previously dismissed precursor and results in individual, non-aggregated nanoparticles with ...

Soluble protein antigens used in vaccines have shown lower immune responses when compared with certain particulate forms of these same antigens. For example, it has been shown that micro- and nano-particle mediated delivery ...

The endosome-disrupting and pH-responsive poly(2-diethylamino ethyl methacrylate)-core/poly(2- aminoethyl methacrylate)-shell nanoparticles could potentially increase the efficacy of transcutaneous administered vaccines ...

Chemotaxis is a fundamental biological process that plays an important role in disease, reproduction, and most biological functions. Here, we present a radically novel method to create the first synthetic chemotactic system ...

Ni-n-Ga based ferromagnetic shape-memory alloys (FSMAs) have shown great promise as an active material that yields a large output strain over a range of actuation frequencies. The maximum strain has been reported to be 6% ...
