We introduce a method by which periplasmic proteins can be released rapidly, simply, and quantitatively by treating cells with chloroform. All the amino acid-binding proteins tested maintained their activity during chloroform treatment. This method makes practical the analysis of the

Microbubbles used as contrast agents for ultrasound imaging, vectors for targeted drug delivery and vehicles for metabolic gas transport require better size control for improved performance. Mechanical agitation is the only method currently available to produce microbubbles in sufficient yields

We have used magnetic alternating current mode atomic force microscopy (MAC-AFM) to investigate the formation of supported phospholipid bilayers (SPB) by the method of vesicle fusion. The systems studied were dioleoylphosphatidylcholine (DOPC) on mica and mica modified with 3-aminopropyl-triethoxy-silane (APTES)

Solution-processed organic photovoltaic cells (OPVs) hold great promise to enable roll-to-roll printing of environmentally friendly, mechanically flexible and cost-effective photovoltaic devices. Nevertheless, many high-performing systems show best power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) with a thin active layer (thickness is ~100 nm) that
