We demonstrate the supramolecular bioconjugation of concanavalin A (Con A) protein with glycoenzyme horseradish peroxidase (HRP) inside single nanopores, fabricated in heavy ion tracked polymer membranes. Firstly, the ...
Calcium binding to fixed charge groups confined over nanoscale regions is relevant to ion equilibrium and transport in the ionic channels of the cell membranes and artificial nanopores. We present an experimental and ...

We present the results of systematic studies of ion current rectification performed on artificial asymmetric nanopores with different geometries and dimensions. The nanopores are fabricated by the ion track etching method ...
In the present work an effective technique to synthesize large-scale c-axis oriented ZnO nanorod (NR) arrays is presented. The manuscript reports a single-step cathodic electrodeposition, either in aqueous and organic ...

[EN] We present the study of osmotic energy harvesting with soft-etched nanoporous polyimide membranes for a wide range of salt concentration differences, ion irradiation fluences, and multipore orientations (parallel or ...
We present an experimental and theoretical characterization of single cigar-shaped nanopores with pH-responsive carboxylic acid and lysine chains functionalized on the pore surface. The nanopore characterization includes ...
