Journal ArticleDOI

Surface-structure-regulated cell-membrane penetration by monolayer-protected nanoparticles

TL;DR: It is shown that the former particles penetrate the plasma membrane without bilayer disruption, whereas the latter are mostly trapped in endosomes, offering a paradigm for analysing the fundamental problem of cell-membrane-penetrating bio- and macro-molecules.
Journal ArticleDOI

Divalent Metal Nanoparticles

TL;DR: A simple method to place target molecules specifically at two diametrically opposed positions in the molecular coating of metal nanoparticles, based on the functionalization of the polar singularities that must form when a curved surface is coated with ordered monolayers, such as a phase-separated mixture of ligands.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chains of Superparamagnetic Nanoparticles

TL;DR: Molecularly linked gamma-Fe2O3 nanoparticles chains arc produced from superparamagnetic gamma Fe2O 3 nanoparticles under zero applied magnetic field The chains exhibit ferromagnetic interaction between gamma Fe 2O3 particles that compose them as evidenced by an increase in blocking temperature from similar to 80 K in the case of isolated nanoparticles to similar to 120 K for chains as discussed by the authors.
