Control and manipulation of nanoscaled systems has important industrial and biomedical applications, such as information storage, magnetosensing, and many others. As the self-organization phenomena are often driven by general physical principles, we are interested in studying these phenomena in smart nanostructured materials of varied degrees of complexity ranging from atomic clusters, carbon nanotubes, composite nanowires, fractals on surfaces and biomolecules.
The mechanisms of cellular growth have attracted scientists’ attention for a long time. To understand how this complex biological process occurs, recent investigations have focused on artificial growth of stem cells atop of inorganic surfaces such as graphene. It became apparent that certain proteins are likely… Read more
