Adsorption Barrier Limits the Ice Inhibition Activity of Glycan-Rich Antifreeze Glycoproteins
Wentao Yang, Zhaoru Sun
Antifreeze glycoproteins (AFGPs) are among the most potent ice recrystallization inhibition (IRI) agents, yet the molecular basis for their counterintuitive decline in activity wit…

Atomistic Insights into the Chain-Length-Dependent Antifreeze Activity of Oligoprolines
Wentao Yang, Yucong Liao, Zhaoru Sun
Ice recrystallization inhibition (IRI) activity of polymers generally increases with chain length. However, for polyproline (PPro), a highly potent cryoprotectant, the IRI activity…

Doping-induced Polyamorphic Transitions in Fluorite Oxides
Hao Yang, Qiaotong Luan, Qing Zhang +5
Fluorite oxides such as HfO exhibit rich and tunable phase behavior, making them promising candidates for next generation electronic devices. A key challenge is to design amorp…
