Calculation of electric field gradients in Cd (II) complexes

26 May 2023

Calculated electric field gradients (EFGs) are instrumental in the interpretation of experimentally determined nuclear quadrupole interactions (NQIs), in terms of electronic and molecular structure. Obtaining accurate calculated EFGs is therefore central for studying the structure...

Covalent functionalization of graphene sheets for plasmid DNA delivery

11 May 2023

To deliver genes into cells for therapeutic and experimental purposes, several methods were used, including plasmid transfection and viral vectors. Researchers are looking for better new approaches due to the limited efficacy and questionable safety...
