Chemical and topographical cues can be used to guide dissociated neurons into user-defined network geometries on artificial substrates, yet control of neuron polarity (differentiation into axons and dendrites) remains an elusive goal. We developed a dual guidance cue strategy for

(-)-Dysibetaine has been synthesized in 11 steps from readily available L-malic acid (see scheme). The key step is a unique Ugi 4-center-3-component cyclization reaction, where an ester group acts as the carboxylic acid component. The use of 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexamethyldisilazane as an

Two-dimensional silica nanoparticle assemblies were obtained by deposition of bubble made from a surfactant solution containing nanoparticles onto hydrophobic silicon substrate. The morphologies of the nanoparticle assemblies can be finely controlled by several experimental parameters, including surfactant concentration, nanoparticle concentration

A model is presented that describes the gate-voltage-dependent contact resistance and channel-length-dependent charge carrier mobility of small-molecule-based organic thin-film transistors in top and bottom drain/source contact configuration.

'Conventional' (-)-sparteine adducts of lithium and sodium 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexamethyldisilazide (HMDS) were prepared and characterised, along with an unexpected and 'unconventional' hydroxyl-incorporated sodium sodiate, [(-)-sparteine x Na(mu-HMDS)Na x (-)-sparteine](+)[Na(4)(mu-HMDS)(4)(OH)](-)--the complex anion of which is the first inverse crown ether anion.
