• Detection of Nanobubbles on Lubricant-Infused Surfaces Using AFM Meniscus Force Measurements 

      Peppor-Chapman, Sam; Vega-Sanchez, Christopher; Neto, Chiara
      Published 2022
      So far, the presence of nanobubbles on lubricant-infused surfaces (LIS) has been overlooked, because of the difficulty in detecting them in such a complex system. We recently showed that anomalously large interfacial ...

    • Slightly Depleted Lubricant-Infused Surfaces Are No Longer Slippery 

      Vega-Sanchez, Christopher; Neto, Chiara
      Published 2022
      Textured surfaces infused with a lubricating fluid effectively reduce fouling and drag. These functions critically depend on the presence and distribution of the lubricant, which can be depleted by many mechanisms, ...

    • The supramolecular chemistry of protein cages and viruses 

      Lau, Yu Heng
      Published 2023
      There are many examples of protein cages in nature, from the outer capsid shells of viruses that protect their genetic material, to simple organelle-like structures in bacteria that house enzymes within their interior. ...

    • Chemical constituents of lawang root oil 

      Alnafta, Neanne; Graham, Marlowe; Proschogo, Nicholas W.; McErlean, Christopher S. P.
      Published 2023
      Spectroscopic analysis of lawang root oil identified methyl salicylate as the major component. This result contrasts with the known composition of bark-derived lawang oil, in which eugenol is the major component. The ...

    • The challenges of controlling polymer synthesis at the molecular and macromolecular level 

      Hakobyan, Karen; Xu, Jiangtao; Muellner, Markus
      Published 2022
      Modern applications of polymers demand further elaboration of molecular-level structures as well as control of various macro-level features. There have been significant advances towards applying the science of synthetic ...
