Structural Analysis of Metal doped Calcium Oxalate
Eva Weber, Davide Levy, Matanya Ben Sasson +2
Calcium oxalate crystals are the most common biominerals found in plants. They also make their presence known as painful kidney stones in humans and animals. Their function in plan…
Intracrystalline inclusions within single crystalline hosts: from biomineralization to bio-inspired crystal growth
Eva Weber, Boaz Pokroy
Many crystals in nature exhibit fascinating mechanical, optical, magnetic and other characteristics. One of the reasons for this phenomenon has to do with the presence of specific…
Calcite single crystals as hosts for atomic-scale entrapment and slow release of drugs
Giulia Magnabosco, Matteo Di Giosia, Iryna Polishchuk +8
This study presents a complete structural and biological characterization of Doxorubicin CaCO3 single crystals as a pH responsive drug carrier. Using a biomimetic approach, it was…
Formation of Curved Micron-Sized Single Crystals
Maria Koifman Khristosov, Lee Kabalah-Amitai, Manfred Burghammer +2
Crystals in nature often demonstrate curved morphologies rather than classical faceted surfaces. Inspired by biogenic curved single crystals, we demonstrate that gold single crysta…
Sponge like nanoporous single crystals of gold
Maria Koifman Khristosov, Leonid Bloch, Manfred Burghammer +3
Single crystals in nature often demonstrate fascinating intricate porous morphologies rather than classical faceted surfaces. We attempt to grow such crystals, drawing inspiration…
Narrowly distributed crystal orientation in biomineral vaterite
Boaz Pokroy, Lee Kabalah Amitai, Iryna Polishchuk +6
Biominerals formed by animals provide skeletal support, and many other functions. They were previously shown to grow by aggregation of amorphous nanoparticles, but never to grow io…
