We report an efficient, high-yield method for synthesizing dumbbell-shaped conjugates composed of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) connected by double-stranded (ds) DNA. The dsDNA, bearing terminal thiol groups, was covalently attached to two AuNPs to form...

This study examines how diabetes mellitus and physiological aging influence the nanomechanical behavior of rat rib cortical bone using combined static and dynamic nanoindentation. Ribs from young control, old, and streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats...

This study establishes a robust small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) methodology for the quantitative characterization of γ matrix channel widths in the nickel-based single-crystal superalloy DD10. By combining SANS with TEM analyses and model...

Copper nitride (Cu3N) is gaining attention as an eco-friendly thin-film semiconductor in a myriad of applications, including storage devices, microelectronic components, photodetectors, and photovoltaic cells. This work presents a detailed optoelectr...

CuWO4 films were prepared on FTO glass substrates by the hydrothermal method. To improve their photocatalytic activity, the CuWO4 films were further modified with BiOI using the successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) method. Character...

This study reports the synthesis, structural characterization, and electromagnetic shielding performance of tantalum (Ta)-doped nickel ferrite (NiFe2O4) composites reinforced with chopped strands. Ta-doped NiFe2O4 powders were prepared via the conven...

Solution combustion-synthesized BaAl2O4: Eu2+, Nd3+, and Pr3+ blue–green long-afterglow phosphors are prepared and systematically investigated. First, XRD confirms the BaAl2O4 host and screens for trace residual features. SEM reveals the agglom...

Carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites have excellent mechanical properties, but their performance is hampered by delamination caused by weak interfacial bonding and resin-rich region (RRR). This research has proposed an interleaving film...

O3-type NaNi1/3Mn1/3Fe1/3O2 (NFM) cathodes for sodium-ion batteries face critical challenges of sluggish Na+ diffusion and structural degradation during cycling. In this study, we implement an Sb3+ doping strategy that enhances structural stability a...

Alkylic molecules are found as some of the main components of natural essential oils. These essential oils offer several therapeutic properties in skin treatments and cosmetics. Systems providing controlled release of these molecules through the skin...
