Elastic straining of free-standing monolayer graphene

Submitted by Yang Lu on

The extraordinary mechanical properties of graphene were measured on very small or supported samples. In our new paper published in Nature Communications, by developing a protocol for sample transfer, shaping and straining, we report the outstanding elastic properties and stretchability of free-standing single-crystalline monolayer graphene under in situ tensile tests.

Adverse effects of Alport syndrome-related Gly missense mutations on collagen type IV: Insights from molecular simulations and experiments

Submitted by Jingjie Yeo on

https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biomaterials.2020.119857 Our unified experimental and computational approach provided underlying insights needed to guide potential therapies for Alport syndrome (AS) that ameliorate the adverse effects from AS disease onset and progression. Patients with AS exhibit blood and elevated protein levels in their urine, inflamed kidneys, and many other abnormalities.
