TL;DR: A series of compounds with systematically varied molecular structures which exhibit very large effective two-photon cross sections has been synthesized and characterized in solution using a nonlinear transmission technique as mentioned in this paper, and the results of the study indicate that with the incorporation of certain combinations of structural elements, dyes can be synthesized which have greatly increased effective cross sections as high as 152.5 × 10-48 cm4 s/photon molecule in benzene solution at 800 nm using 8 ns pulses.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that some of the silica-binding peptides isolated from a combinatorial phage peptide display library can be used in precipitating silica from a solution of silicic acid.

TL;DR: A method for creating a hybrid organic/inorganic ordered nanostructure of silica spheres through the incorporation of a polycationic peptide into a polymer hologram created by two-photon-induced photopolymerization is described.

TL;DR: Differential scanning calorimetry (d.s.c.) was used to investigate the thermal behavior of cyclic and linear poly(dimethylsiloxanes) over the temperature range 103-298 K as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, the results obtained from bio-inspired silicification investigations are hypothesised to arise from specific modes of action of the organic additives, which are described in this review.
