TL;DR: Results indicate that the coordinative approach pursued in this work, in which the building blocks of 1 are linked in a coordination polymer chain by association with metal ions, is an efficient and versatile approach to produce more mechanically robust micro- and nanometer-sized coordination polymer materials.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of carbon nanotubes on polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and restriction digestion reaction were investigated and the results showed that CNT can reduce and even inhibit PCR and restrict digestion reaction, possibly due to the decrease of respective enzyme activity.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the UV photoemission spectra of valence electrons in small silver clusters with spectra from bulk silver samples using synchrotron radiation, and found that with increased cluster size, both density of states and valence band modulations with respect to photon energy resemble the bulk metal more closely.

TL;DR: This is the first study on the cytotoxicity of SiNWs on the human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line, HepG2, and their effect on cell adhesion and spreading and the results showed that ACHTUNGTRENNUNGviability of HepG1 cells relative to the untreated control was affected by the SiNWS suspensions in a dose-dependent manner: the higher the concentration of Si NWs suspension, the lower the viability.

TL;DR: In this article, the properties of amorphous nitrogenated carbon films grown in a standard magnetron sputter-deposition system without a magnetic trap were explored. And the results showed that the harder films appear to have better resistance against scratch damage, as demonstrated by the nano-scratch tests using a two-dimensional nanoindentor.
