Radiation Damage In many cases materials are analysed using x-rays, UV-rays and electrons. In all these cases one can learn a lot about the samples from elemental information, structural information, crystallinity, etc. However, in most cases people tend to forget that all the methods mentioned a ...more |

Deracemization of binaphthalene by chiral additives Chirality refers to the property of a molecule that prevents it from being superimposed on its mirror image, resulting in two distinct enantiomers. This phenomenon plays a central role in pharmaceutical development, biochemistry, and materials science. The environment of chiral m ...more |

Diffraction Patterns of Photonic Woodpile Structures Prepared by Two-Photon Polymerization Photonic crystals exhibit unique optical properties resulting from their periodic structure and the length of their lattice constants. Such structures can also be found in nature - for example, in opals or in the finely structured scales of butterfly wings. With the help of moder ...more |

Peptide-based soft matter and its applications Rationally designed ultrashort peptides consisting of a few amino acids have shown an innate tendency to self-assemble into helical fibers in aqueous solutions, resulting in fibrous scaffolds in the form of hydrogels. The self-assembling peptides can also form vesicle-like micro- ...more |
