Heterogeneous photocatalysis has emerged as a promising alternative for both micropollutant removal and bacterial inactivation under solar irradiation. Among a variety of photocatalysts explored in the literature, graphite carbon nitride (g-C3N4) is...
The study of radiation effects in DNA is a multidisciplinary endeavour, connecting the physical, chemical and biological sciences. Despite being mostly filtered by the ozone layer, sunlight radiation is still expected to (photo)ionise DNA in sizeable...
Cryptococcal cells can manifest skin infections in immunocompromised persons. While it may be easy to diagnose cryptococcal infection, treatment often fails due to the ineffectiveness of current antifungal agents. To this end, the present study explo...
In the present study, we report the greener, simple, cost effective, non-hazardous and ecofriendly synthesis of silver (Ag) nanoparticles from Alstonia scholaris (L.) R. Br. for the first time. The synthesis of silver nanoparticles using the leaf sto...
Substitution of frozen-thawed food products for fresh ones is a significant authenticity issue being extensively investigated over the past few years by various conventional methods, but little success has been achieved. Fluorescence spectroscopy is...
Visible light organophotoredox catalysis has emerged as an invaluable tool for organic synthetic transformations since it works brilliantly in tandem with organic substrates and has been known to create unique chemical environment for organic transfo...
The mineralization of nitrobenzene was executed using an innovative method, wherein Ag/Cu2O semiconductors stimulated by visible light irradiation were supported with persulfate anions. Batch-wise experiments were performed for the evaluation of effe...
Exposure to sun radiation causes great oxidative stress and activates a numerous of defense mechanisms in living systems, such as the synthesis of antioxidants. Resveratrol (RSV), a naturally occurring stilbene molecule, has antioxidant properties an...
The knowledge of the optical properties of biological tissues in a wide spectral range is highly important for the development of noninvasive diagnostic or treatment procedures. The absorption coefficient is one of those properties, from which variou...
In this work, eleven heteroleptic copper complexes were designed and studied as photoinitiators of polymerization in three-component photoinitiating systems in combination with an iodonium salt and an amine. Notably, ten of them exhibited panchromati...
The exploitation of visible-light active photocatalytic materials can potentially change the supply of energy and deeply transform our world, giving access to a carbon neutral society. Currently, most photocatalysts are produced through low-ecofriend...
Applications of hyperspectral imaging (HSI) methods in food adulteration detection have been surveyed in this study. Subsequent to the research on existing literature, studies were evaluated based on different food categories. Tea, coffee, and cocoa;...
Organisms belonging to all life kingdoms may have the natural capacity to fluoresce. Autofluorescence events depend on the presence of natural biomolecules, namely endogenous fluorophores, with suitable chemical properties in terms of conjugated doub...
