Comparative Study of Electrochemical Biosensors Based on Highly Efficient Mesoporous ZrO2‑Ag-G-SiO2 and In2O3‑G-SiO2 for Rapid Recognition of E. coli O157:H7

Influence of chemical composition and discontinuities on energy transformation and rock mass behaviour: Insights into geological dynamic

Abstract In this study, efforts were made to incorporate the influence of discontinuities and failure modes of rock into the classification of rock masses. The past tectonic activities may create microfractures in the rock body therefore th...

Fast Timing Techniques in FLIM Applications

Fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) is increasingly used in many scientific disciplines, including biological and medical research, materials science and chemistry. The fluorescence label is not only used to indicate its location, but also...

Effect of Corrosion Product Films Induced by Tensile Stress on P110 Casing Steels Induced in CO2 Environment

Corrosion product films were formed on P110 casing steels by high-temperature and high-pressure autoclave in a CO2 environment induced by tensile stress. The effects of applied tensile stress on the protection characteristics and electroche...

Recent advances of two-dimensional materials in smart drug delivery nano-systems

Smart drug delivery nano-systems show significant changes in their physical or chemical properties in response to slight change in environmental physical and/or chemical signals, and further releasing drugs adjusted to the progression of th...

Study of the growth mechanism of a self-assembled and ordered multi-dimensional heterojunction at atomic resolution

Abstract Multi-dimensional heterojunction materials have attracted much attention due to their intriguing properties, such as high efficiency, wide band gap regulation, low dimensional limitation, versatility and scalability. To further imp...

Dynamic Assembly of Microgels and Polymers at Non‐Aqueous Liquid/Liquid Interfaces

Abstract Particle assembly at liquid–liquid interfaces presents a promising bottom‐up strategy for creating supramolecular materials with advanced functionalities. However, the significantly lower interfacial tension observed in immiscible ...

Pressure Effects on Monolayer FeCl2: Above‐Room‐Temperature Ferromagnetism with In‐Plane Electric Polarization and Interface‐Free Magnetic Tunnel Junctions

ABSTRACT We investigate the influence of hydrostatic pressure on the physical properties of monolayer FeCl2 for spintronics applications. A phase transition from a ferromagnetic half‐metal to a ferromagnetic semiconductor is unveiled at 4.6...

Lysosome blockade induces divergent metabolic programs in macrophages and tumours for cancer immunotherapy

Abstract Background Platinum-drugs based chemotherapy in clinic increases the potency of tumor cells to produce M2 macrophages, thus leading to poor anti-metastatic activity and immunosuppression. Lysosome metabolism is critical for cancer ...

A review on green synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles

Abstract Nanoparticles and Nanostructured materials are playing an ever-important role in affordable healthcare, environment remediation, renewable energy, agriculture, consumer electronics, cosmetics etc. However, progress in these sectors...

The Evolution of COVID-19 Transmission with Superspreaders Class under Classical and Caputo Piecewise Operators: Real Data Perspective from India, France, and Italy

In this study, we analyze the transmission of the COVID-19 model by using a piecewise operator in the classical Caputo sense. The existence along with the uniqueness of the solution of the COVID-19 model under a piecewise derivative is pres...

Fluoridobromate(V)–hydrogen fluoride cocrystallizates

Cocrystals of BrF5 and HF2− salts have been obtained for the first time in the form of the two compounds [NMe4][(BrF5)6(HF2)] and Cs2[(BrF5)6(HF2)(H2F3)]. These compounds are formed when hydrogen fluoride is present in reactions of BrF5 and...

Experimental study on unloading induced shear performances of 3D saw-tooth rock fractures

A fractal model governing saw-tooth fractures was first introduced to replicate sandstone samples containing an inclined 3D penetrating rough fracture surface with various joint roughness coefficients (JRC). In conventional triaxial compres...

Finite element analysis on the near field properties of metallic cavities with atomic sharpness

Using finite element calculations, we investigated the near field properties of two types of commonly used metal nanostructures (a tip-substrate model representing a scanning tunneling microscope type setup (TS) and a nanoparticle-on-mirror...
