DNA is not only a centrally important molecule in biology: the specificity of bonding that allows it to be the primary information storage medium for life has also allowed it to become one of the most promising materials for designing intricate, self-assembling structures at the nanoscale. While the applications of these structures are both broad and highly promising, the self-assembly process itself has attracted interest not only for the practical applications of designing structures with more efficient assembly pathways, but also due to a desire to understand the principles underlying self-assembling systems more generally, of which DNA-based systems provide intriguing and unique examples. Here, we review the fundamental physical principles that underpin the self-assembly process in the field of DNA nanotechnology, with a specific focus on simulation and modelling and what we can learn from them.

Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have attracted significant attention in recent years due to its environment friendly characteristics and its participation in the multi-heteroatom doping of carbon quantum dots (CQDs). In this work, we present a simple, fast, and environment-friendly microwave synthesis approach for the synthesis of DES-assisted nitrogen and chloride co-doped CQDs (N,Cl-CQDs) using a choline chloride-urea based DES. A biomass-based precursor, i.

In this work, we are concerned with zero permittivity materials and a new scheme to design metamaterials for which all components of the dielectric tensor are approximately zero. Our approach involves the alternate layering of many, very thin, slices of two constituent metamaterials, a uniaxial layered medium and a uniaxial nanowire array.

This study explores multi-tasking by examining the effects of transitioning from dual-task to triple-task scenarios. Our research extends beyond conventional dual-task paradigms to investigate the impact of triple-task performance on two participant groups: those unprepared in single, dual, or triple tasks (N = 14) and those previously prepared in single and dual tasks (N = 13). The study consisted of a preparation phase with nine sessions and an assessment phase with eight sessions.

The development of water splitting technology in alkaline medium requires the exploration of electrocatalysts superior to Pt/C to boost the alkaline hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Ruthenium oxides with strong water dissociation ability are promising candidates; however, the lack of hydrogen combination sites immensely limits their performance. Herein, we reported a unique RuO catalyst with metallic Ru on its surface through a simple cation exchange method.
