“CHIRALITY IN NATURE is ubiquitous in exquisite examples wherever you look, be it at the molecular, cellular, or organismic level. However, in a biomimetic quest for new materials with new properties, a stumbling block is often the introduction of chirality into a synthetic system, to try to mimick the 60 biomineral materials made by millions of species in nature.” https://lnkd.in/dCa_nDw View in LinkedIn

ADVENTURES IN FLATLAND. "A material that is just a few atoms thick can have very different fundamental properties from a material made of the same molecules in solid form. “Even if the bulk material is an old one, if you can get it into 2D form it opens up new opportunities." https://lnkd.in/eVYcGX9 View in LinkedIn

NANO-MAGNETS. "The nanostructuring techniques have opened a road for the discovery of new physical phenomena at the nanoscale with important consequences for nanotechnological applications. Magnetic nanostructures present as valuable candidates for the development of high density storage media, high speed magnetic random access memories, Nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS) and magnetic sensors and logic devices." https://lnkd.in/evS-e3q View in LinkedIn

CHARGE SEPARATION. "A magnetic field has opposite polar ends, or charge separation. This is thought to be cause by different numbers of quarks and antiquarks with left- and right-handed helicity." https://lnkd.in/ePeWvpu View in LinkedIn

CHIRAL FLIPPING. "Our universe is full of magnetic fields, even in deep interstellar space. It has been hypothesized that this may be due to unequal numbers of left versus right chiral particles through a process called chiral flipping." https://lnkd.in/eBAYp9j View in LinkedIn

UNSEEN FORCES. “The day science begins to study non-physical phenomena, it will make more progress in one decade than in all the previous centuries of its existence.” (Nikola Tesla). https://lnkd.in/eyFtShi View in LinkedIn

PROXIMATE REACTIONS. “Srere postulated that enzymes assembled into multimeric complexes to facilitate the vectorial flow of substrates and/or intermediates along a metabolic pathway. Enzyme organisation was predicted to decrease the diffusion time of substrates and/or intermediates between pathway steps, to stabilise transient intermediates and to minimise cross-reactions with competing pathways.” http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/febs.13744/full View in LinkedIn
