September 2020 - Article in Langmuir
Surflab researchers with collaborators from the University of Washington, Seattle, have published an article in Langmuir.
The study highlights news methods to determine protein structure at interfaces:
Orientation and Conformation of Proteins at the Air-Water Interface Determined from Integrative Molecular Dynamics Simulations and Sum Frequency Generation Spectroscopy
Previous studies indicate that 2D materials such as graphene, WS2 and MoS2 deposited on oxidized silicon substrate are susceptible to aging due to the adsorption of airborne contamination. As a result, their surfaces become more hydrophobic. However, it is not clear how ubiquitous such a hydrophobisation is, and the interplay between the specific adsorbed species and resultant wetting aging ...
