Light Absorption and Emission by Defects in Doped Nickel Oxide

Nickel oxide is a versatile p‐type semiconducting oxide with many applications in optoelectronic devices, but high doping concentrations are often required to achieve necessary electrical conductivity. In contrast to many other transparent ...

Emerging nanomaterials for novel wound dressings: From metallic nanoparticles and MXene nanosheets to metal-organic frameworks

The growing need for developing reliable and efficient wound dressings has led to recent progress in designing novel materials and formulations for different kinds of wounds caused by traumas, burns, surgeries, and diabetes. In cases of ext...

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...

Comparative Study of Field-Effect Transistors Based on Graphene Oxide and CVD Graphene in Highly Sensitive NT-proBNP Aptasensors

Graphene-based materials are actively being investigated as sensing elements for the detection of different analytes. Both graphene grown by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and graphene oxide (GO) produced by the modified Hummers’ method ar...

Roles of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) in the pathogenesis of diabetic kidney disease (DKD)

Abstract Diabetic kidney disease (DKD), a prevalent microvascular complication of diabetes, is a leading cause of chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease. Moreover, it plays a crucial role in the morbidity and mortality of diabet...

High-speed nonlinear focus-induced photoresponse in amorphous silicon photodetectors for ultrasensitive 3D imaging applications

Abstract A large and growing number of applications benefit from simple, fast and highly sensitive 3D imaging sensors. The Focus-Induced Photoresponse (FIP) can achieve 3D sensing functionalities by simply evaluating the irradiance dependen...

Nanotechnology

Although research in nanotechnology continues apace, relatively little is known about the subsequent health effects of exposure to nanoparticles. Major research efforts are underway both in the US and abroad to characterize the risks of suc...

Expectations and the Emergence of Nanotechnology

Although nanotechnology is often defined as operations on the 10 -9 meters, the lack of charisma in the scale-bound definitions has been fortified by remarkable dreams and alluring promises that spark excitement for nanotechnology. The stor...

Innovations in nanotechnology for water treatment

Important challenges in the global water situation, mainly resulting from worldwide population growth and climate change, require novel innovative water technologies in order to ensure a supply of drinking water and reduce global water poll...

Encyclopedia of Nanotechnology

Society that has become one of the twentieth-century classic science lectures, titled "There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom."He presented a technological vision of extreme miniaturization in 1959, several years before the word "chip" became...

Nanotechnology for a Sustainable Future: Addressing Global Challenges with the International Network4Sustainable Nanotechnology

Nanotechnology has important roles to play in international efforts in sustainability. We discuss how current and future capabilities in nanotechnology align with and support the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals. We argue that,...

Environmental Risks of Nanotechnology: National Nanotechnology Initiative Funding, 2000−2004

By considering risk in the early stages of a technology, costs of identifying important health and environmental impacts after a technology has widely diffused can be avoided. Nanotechnology, involving materials and objects less than 100 nm...

Nanotechnology and Cancer

The biological picture of cancer is rapidly advancing from models built from phenomenological descriptions to network models derived from systems biology, which can capture the evolving pathophysiology of the disease at the molecular level....

Learn to differentiate nine jitals

This study aims to analyze nine type of bull and hoserman jitals, which so far has caused controversy amongst the international numismatic community, who collect and study medieval indian coins. I hope this work will shed more light on thes...
