Imaging the ring opening reaction of 1,3-cyclohexadiene with MeV ultrafast electron diffraction

We resolve the structural dynamics of the ultrafast photoinduced ring opening reaction of 1,3-cyclohexadiene in space and time employing megaelectronvolt gas phase ultrafast electron diffraction. We, furthermore, observe coherent large ampl...

The Relationship between Exercise and Salivary Oxidative Stress: A Systematic Review

Salivary content has been reported as a potential biomarker for oxidative stress assessments especially in context of exercise-induced oxidative stress. This systematic review following PRISMA guidelines aimed to evaluate the effects of phy...

Efficient electrochemical determination of dopamine in the presence of uric acid in real samples using tungsten disulfide nanostructure modified electrode

Background and purpose: Research on the detection of uric acid (URA) and dopamine (DPA) is ongoing because of the difficulties posed by their closely overlapping oxidation potentials. Tungsten disulfide nanostructures have become attractive...

Fumaric acid regulates morphine tolerance in bone cancer pain through spinal MrgC receptor modulation

Background: Bone cancer pain (BCP) represents a debilitating complication that profoundly impacts patient quality of life and predisposes to psychological comorbidities, including depression and anxiety. Objectives: To investigate the effec...

Characterization of low-nitrogen quantum diamond for pulsed magnetometry applications

Ensembles of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond are versatile quantum sensors with broad applications in the physical and life sciences. The concentration of neutral substitutional nitrogen ([Ns0]) strongly influences NV electronic sp...

Synthesis of ultra‐high molecular weight core cross‐linked star (CCS) polymer using high molecular weight spherical nanoparticles and arm‐first method

Abstract P (N,N‐Dimethylacrylamide) ‐b‐P (2‐methoxyethyl acrylate) (PDMA‐b‐PMEA) and Poly (poly (ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate) ‐b‐P (2‐methoxyethyl acrylate) (PPEGMA‐b‐PMEA) di‐block copolymer nanoparticles are prepared by RAF...

Molecularly Imprinted Polymers for Biosensing: From Synthetic Recognition to Integrated Biointerfaces

Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) are synthetic receptors with cavities shaped around a template, combining antibody-like selectivity with chemical, thermal, and mechanical robustness; low cost; and reusability. This Review examines rec...

Overcoming the sensitivity–speed trade-off in two-dimensional photodetectors via a functional oxide interlayer

Abstract Photodetectors that can achieve both high sensitivity and fast speed remain a challenge due to inherent trade-offs, particularly limiting in photonic integrated circuits. While substantial progress has been made in broadening spect...

All-inorganic lattice-contracted fabric image sensors for extreme-temperature radiography

Abstract Conventional X‑ray sensing fails in extreme temperatures due to a fundamental trilemma: no material offers strong absorption, flexibility, and thermal stability simultaneously. Rigid inorganic scintillators exhibit thermal quenchin...

Sensitivity of aerosol and cloud properties to coupling strength of marine boundary layer clouds over the northwest Atlantic

Quantifying the degree of coupling between marine boundary layer (MBL) clouds and the surface is critical for understanding the evolution of low clouds and explaining the vertical distribution of aerosols and microphysical cloud properties....

The Impact of Covid 19 on Seaweed Smallholder Farmers in Nusa Tenggara Barat, Indonesia

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the seaweed industry and business. The export-import trade is the most severely impacted sector, mainly the raw material export of seaweed. The purpose of this study was to determine how smallholder farmer...
