We report the synthesis of single-crystalline VO2 nanowires with rectangular cross sections
using a vapor transport method. These nanowires have typical diameters of 60 (±30) nm and …

We investigated the effect of substrate-induced strain on the metal− insulator transition (MIT)
in single-crystalline VO2 nanobeams. A simple nanobeam− substrate adhesion leads to …

Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) constitute the majority of nosocomial
UTIs and pose significant clinical challenges. Enterococcal species are among the …

Biofilm production is a major attribute of Enterococcus faecalis clinical isolates. Although
some factors, such as sortases, autolysin, and extracellular DNA (eDNA), have been …

Toxoplasma gondii reproduces sexually in felines and asexually in virtually all warm-
blooded animals, including humans. This obligate intracellular parasite alternates between …

Plasmonics is a rapidly growing field, yet imaging of the plasmonic modes in complex
nanoscale architectures is extremely challenging. Here we obtain spatial maps of the …

Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) constitute the majority of nosocomial
urinary tract infections (UTIs) and pose significant clinical challenges. These infections are …

This paper reviews recent applications of Monte Carlo methods for the study of cation
ordering in minerals. We describe the program Ossia99, designed for the simulation of …

Designing luminescent materials especially nanomaterials with multifunctional applications
is highly challenging and demanding. In this work, we explored pyrochlore La 2 Hf 2 O 7 …

In exsolution, nanoparticles form by emerging from oxide hosts by application of redox
driving forces, leading to transformative advances in stability, activity, and efficiency over …
