Self-Assembled Fatty Acid Crystalline Coatings Display Non-Toxic Superhydrophobic Antimicrobial Properties
Elena Prudnikov, Iryna Polishchuk, Andy Sand +4
Superhydrophobcity is a well-known wetting phenomenon found in numerous plants and insects. It is achieved by the combination of the surfaces chemical properties and its surface ro…
A Comparison Study of the Detection Limit of Omicron SARS-CoV-2 Nucleocapsid by various Rapid Antigen Tests
Daniela Dobrynin, Iryna Polishchuk, Boaz Pokroy
Since the first case of COVID-19 disease in Wuhan in December 2019, there is a worldwide struggle to reduce the transmission of acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. M…
High-Mg Calcite Nanoparticles Within a Low-Mg Calcite Matrix via Spinodal Decomposition: A Widespread Phenomenon in Biomineralization
Nuphar Bianco-Stein, Iryna Polishchuk, Arad Lang +3
During the process of biomineralization, organisms utilize various biostrategies to enhance the mechanical durability of their skeletons. In this work, we establish that the presen…
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…
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…
