TL;DR: The extreme flexibility of graphene allows it to conform to the topography of even the smoothest substrates, thus making its interaction with the substrate more liquid-like than solid-like and comparable to solid-liquid adhesion energies.
Abstract: Pressurized blister tests show that the adhesion energies of graphene samples on silicon oxide are much higher than those measured in typical micromechanical structures.

TL;DR: The dependence of phagocytosis on particle size originated primarily from the attachment step, revealing the importance of controlling drug delivery particle size distribution and selecting the size appropriate for avoiding or encouraging phagcytosis.
Abstract: Purpose Polymeric microspheres are extensively researched for applications in drug and vaccine delivery. However, upon administration into the body, microspheres are primarily cleared via phagocytosis by macrophages. Although numerous studies have reported on the biochemical pathways of phagocytosis, relatively little is known about the dependence of phagocytosis on particle size. Here, we investigate the previously unexplained dependence of phagocytosis on particle size.

TL;DR: Recent experiments which show interfacial IL nanostructure is a consequence of both surface-specific and bulk liquid interactions are highlighted, which enable us to develop molecular design rules for controlling interfacialIL behavior.
Abstract: Ionic liquids' (ILs) remarkable and tunable physicochemical properties mean they have distinct performance advantages over conventional solvents in many settings. However, the use of ILs in surface-dependent processes (e.g. electrodeposition, heterogeneous catalysis, dye solar cells) is hindered by the lack of a systematic understanding of IL interfacial structure. In this Perspective, we highlight recent experiments which show interfacial IL nanostructure is a consequence of both surface-specific and bulk liquid interactions. These results enable us to develop molecular design rules for controlling interfacial IL behavior.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the regulation of the acyl chain composition in wild-type cells of E. coli is necessary for the organism to be able to grow in a “window” between a lamellar gel phase and reversed non-lamellar phases.

TL;DR: It is concluded that it is possible to describe the elastic properties of the cell body by means of an effective elastic modulus, used in a self-consistent way, when using the brush model to analyze data collected with a dull AFM probe.
