February 2019: Paper accepted in Nature Materials
In this collaborative paper (lead: Prof. Liangbing Hu) paper, we study the thermoelectric energy conversion in wood. Our contribution was the theroetical model. Guang Chen, former SMIEL PhD student is a co-author. This is Guang’s 22nd paper from the group…Congrats Guang and the entire team !!!!!
January 2019: Paper accepted in Colloids and Surfaces B: Biointerfaces
In this paper, we develop continuum models to establish that a gold NP and a silica NP approaches the plasma membrane (PM) differently due to the corresponding differences in the gold-NP-PM and silica-NP-PM van der Waals interactions. This is Haoyuan’s 12th paper, Harnoor’s 10th paper, and Shayandev’s 25th paper from the group. Congrats all !!!
January 2019: Paper accepted in Langmuir
In this paper, we have developed for the first time a Molecular Dynamics (MD) Simulation platform to study the equilibrium structure of nanoparticle-supported lipid bilayer (LBL) and pinpoint the corresponding differences with similar-sized nanovesicles. This paper represents two FIRSTs for the group….first MD study on LBL system and first paper in collaboration with a scientist […]
