Recent advances in the Biosynthesis of Zirconium Oxide Nanoparticles and their Biological Applications

A critical milestone in nano-biotechnology is establishing reliable and ecological friendly methods for fabricating metal oxide NPs. Because of their great biodegradable, electrical, mechanical, and optical qualities, zirconia NPs (ZrO2NPs)...

The Water-Based Synthesis of Platinum Nanoparticles Using KrF Excimer Laser Ablation

Our work presents, for the first time, a comprehensive study of the synthesis of fully metallic platinum nanoparticles (Pt-NPs) involving the ablation process in double distilled water using a KrF excimer laser. To obtain detailed informati...

Cross-correlation transmission spectroscopy of ultra-hot Jupiters WASP-189b, HAT-P-57b, KELT-17b, and KELT-21b with GIANO-B

Since the discovery of the first exoplanet, significant efforts have been made to characterise their atmospheres. Ultra-hot Jupiters (UHJs) are of particular interest due to their extended and hot atmospheres. Although previous studies have...

FEAST: JWST Uncovers the Emerging Timescales of Young Star Clusters in M83

We present JWST NIRCam observations of the emerging young star clusters (eYSCs) detected in the nearby spiral galaxy M83. The NIRcam mosaic encompasses the nuclear starburst, the bar, and the inner spiral arms. The eYSCs, detected in Pa α a...

Enhanced Satellite Monitoring of Dryland Vegetation Water Potential Through Multi‐Source Sensor Fusion

Abstract Drylands are critical in regulating global carbon sequestration, but the resiliency of these semi‐arid shrub, grassland and forest systems is under threat from global warming and intensifying water stress. We used synergistic satel...

IceRegionShip: Optical Remote Sensing Dataset for Ship Detection in Ice-Infested Waters

As shipping routes and resource exploration move toward high-latitude oceans, sea ice becomes a major threat to the safety of ship navigation, posing significant challenges to the shipping industry and offshore resource development. Continu...

Ice Nucleation Enhancement in Ambient Aerosols Under High‐Salinity Conditions: Insights From Cloud Chamber Experiments

Abstract Ice‐nucleating particles (INPs) play a role in mixed‐phase clouds, yet the processes controlling their properties remain poorly understood. Water‐soluble salts such as sodium chloride (NaCl) depress the freezing temperature of clou...

Comparison of the GOSAT TANSO-FTS TIR CH volume mixing ratio vertical profiles with those measured by ACE-FTS, ESA MIPAS, IMK-IAA MIPAS, and 16 NDACC stations

The primary instrument on the Greenhouse gases Observing SATellite (GOSAT) is the Thermal And Near infrared Sensor for carbon Observations (TANSO) Fourier transform spectrometer (FTS). TANSO-FTS uses three short-wave infrared (SWIR) band...

THE OVERVIEW OF THE PLANETARY ATMOSPHERIC SPECTRAL TELESCOPE (PAST) IN THE SCIENTIFIC EXPERIMENTAL SYSTEM IN NEAR-SPACE (SENSE)

To investigate mass transport and energy dissipation in space environments for solar system planet, a balloon-borne planetary atmospheric spectral telescope (PAST) is designed with 0.8-m aperture in spectral range from 280 nm to 680&...

Enlarging Rainfall Area of Tropical Cyclones by Atmospheric Aerosols

Abstract The size of a tropical cyclone (TC), measured by the area of either rainfall or wind, is an important indicator for the potential damage by TC. Modeling studies suggested that aerosols tend to enhance rainfall in the outer rainband...

Validation of Sentinel-2 (MSI) and Sentinel-3 (OLCI) Water Quality Products in Turbid Estuaries Using Fixed Monitoring Stations

It is common in estuarine waters to place fixed monitoring stations, with the advantages of easy maintenance and continuous measurements. These two features make fixed monitoring stations indispensable for understanding the optical complexi...

Nanosensor Applications in Plant Science

Plant science is a major research topic addressing some of the most important global challenges we face today, including energy and food security. Plant science has a role in the production of staple foods and materials, as well as roles in...

Contrast Sensitivity Is Associated With Chorioretinal Thickness and Vascular Density of Eyes in Simple Early-Stage High Myopia

ObjectiveTo evaluate the contrast sensitivity function (CSF), chorioretinal thickness and vascular density as well as their relationships in subjects with simple early-stage high myopia.MethodsEighty-one young subjects were enrolled in this...

Involvement of two uptake mechanisms of gold and iron oxide nanoparticles in a co-exposure scenario using mouse macrophages

Little is known about the simultaneous uptake of different engineered nanoparticle types, as it can be expected in our daily life. In order to test such co-exposure effects, murine macrophages (J774A.1 cell line) were incubated with gold (A...

Synthesis and properties of fluorene based small molecule acceptors containing aromatic malononitrile functionalities

Four novel small molecule acceptors (SMA) with fluorene-based cores were synthesized with terminal phenyl, thienyl, and furyl malononitrile groups in good yields. The products were obtained from a two-step reaction of 2,2′-(9,9-dioctyl-9H-f...

TEMPERATURE OF SLIDING SURFACES OF INTERNAL COMBUSION ENGINES BY THE TEMPER COLORS OF WEAR PARTICLES
