TL;DR: X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy revealed that SAMs of ODT were more stable than those of ODI, which was supported by experiments that probed desorption of these layers in prewarmed hexadecane and Cyclic voltammetry measurements indicated that both monolayer systems could diminish electron-transfer rates substantially, although ODT monolayers were more effective and robust than their ODI counterparts.

TL;DR: Making the grad(ient): a gradient in cell density was generated on a substrate that was inserted into a homogeneous suspension of cells at a specific tilt angle by taking advantage of the gradual change in the number of cells available for sedimentation.

TL;DR: In this article, a facile route to the fabrication of uniform nanobottles made of polydopamine by leveraging swelling-induced pressure is reported, which makes them ideal carriers for the encapsulation and controlled release of various types of cargos.

TL;DR: In this article, a one-pot method for the facile synthesis of Cu nanowires in high purity, together with ultrathin diameters well below 20nm, was reported.
