Electrochromism, the phenomenon of reversible color change induced by a small electric charge, forms the basis for operation of several devices including mirrors, displays and smart windows. Although, the history of ...

Vedessä tapahtuvia kytkentäreaktioita hyödynnetään modernissa lääkekehityksen kemiassa ja bioteknologisissa sovelluksissa. Esimerkiksi DNA-templatoidun synteesin avulla valmistetaan laajoja molekyylikirjastoja, jotka ...

During the last decades, oligonucleotides (ONs) have emerged as an alternative therapeutic modality for a variety of diseases. They can target disease mechanisms that are considered undruggable by small molecular drugs ...

Ellagitannins are secondary metabolites that are produced by plants. Among other features, they are assumed to function as plants’ defensive compounds against plant-eating herbivores. This thesis focuses on a theory, which ...

Since the discovery of the up-conversion phenomenon, there has been an ever increasing interest in up-converting phosphors in which the absorption of two or more low energy photons is followed by emission of a higher energy ...

Microelectronics and flexible electronics are applications that have attracted more and more attention in the today’s world. The research of these kinds of electronics requires the development and improvement of ...

Proteins are the building blocks of life, and mainly perform their roles through protein-protein interactions (PPIs). Thus, PPIs are essential to the normal function of the cells and the body, and disturbances in these ...

RNA is essential for all living organisms. It has important roles in protein synthesis, controlling gene expression as well as catalyzing biological reactions. Chemically RNA is a very stable molecule, although in biological ...

This project focuses on cationic isothiouronium polythiophenes (CITs), a particular type of conjugated polyelectrolytes (CPEs). In general, CPEs combine a pi-conjugated polymer backbone with pendant ionic groups, which ...

Persistent luminescence materials can store energy from solar radiation or artificial lighting and release it over a period of several hours without a continuous excitation source. These materials are widely used to improve ...
