Direct observation of surface charge and stiffness of human metaphase chromosomes
The biophysical properties of human metaphase chromosomes were directly measured by Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) and PeakForce-quantitative nanomechanics (PF-QNM) with high resolution.
Paper
Effect of steric hindrance on the interfacial connection of MOF-on-MOF architectures
This work investigates how the interfacial strain effects occur in an interface of a MOF-on-MOF. The series of synthetic experiments and computational results revealed the importance of the proximity in each chemical connection point in a MOF-on-MOF system.
Paper
Sequence-dependent fusion dynamics and physical properties of DNA droplets
Physical properties of DNA droplets formed by liquid–liquid phase separation of DNA nanostructures were investigated at a phase transition temperature. The surface tension was strongly influenced by the design of sticky ends.

Tuning oxygen-containing functional groups of graphene for supercapacitors with high stability
This study aims to investigate the relationship between the residual functional groups on graphene sheets and the stability of graphene supercapacitors, thereby improving the performance of graphene supercapacitors.
Paper
Fundamental and higher eigenmodes of qPlus sensors with a long probe for vertical-lateral bimodal atomic force microscopy
The characteristics of qPlus sensors with a long probe were theoretically studied, and they were applied to bidirectional force microscopy.

Ultra-thin membrane filter with a uniformly arrayed nanopore structure for nanoscale separation of extracellular vesicles without cake formation
We achieved filtration of an extracellular vesicle (EV) enrichment sample using a nanoporous and ultra-thin membrane structure (NUTS). It allows precise control of the pore size of the membrane via MEMS, enabling accurate size-based isolation.

Nanostructure-induced L10-ordering of twinned single-crystals in CoPt ferromagnetic nanowires
Nanostructure-induced L10-ordering of twinned single-crystals in CoPt ferromagnetic nanowires on Si/SiO2 substrates is demonstrated, where nanostructure-induced L10-ordering is driven by ultrasmall 10 nm-scale curvature radii of the nanowires.

Bottom-up synthesis of 2D layered high-entropy transition metal hydroxides
A facile polyol process is presented to synthesize equimolar high-entropy metal hydroxides with 2D layered structures for the oxygen evolution reaction.

Zn-assisted modification of the chemical structure of N-doped carbon dots and their enhanced quantum yield and photostability
Zn-assisted N-CDs (denoted as Zn:N-CDs) obtained by the addition of Zn(OAc)2 to precursors during the synthesis of N-CDs not only exhibited an enhanced quantum yield but also improved photostability compared to those of N-CDs.
