Carbon dots (CDots) are classically defined as small carbon nanoparticles with effective surface passivation, which, in the classical synthesis, has been accomplished by surface organic functionalization. CDot-like nanostructures could also be produc...

The spray pyrolysis deposition of nanostructured Pb_1−xSn_xSe alloy films, x = 0.0 to 1.0, from as-prepared Pb_1−xSn_xSe alloy colloids as the starting solution is reported. The colloidal dispersions were prepared by dissolving selenium in an...

Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) is a multifunctional polymer renowned for its unique electrical, mechanical, and piezoelectric properties, making it an attractive candidate for various applications. Although the spin-coating method has been the conven...

The cosmetic market is constantly evolving and ever-changing, particularly with the introduction and incorporation of nanotechnology-based processes into cosmetics for the production of unique formulations with both aesthetic and therapeutic benefits...

Microscale systems have been underexplored in contemporary regenerative therapies developed to treat vision loss. The pairing of in vitro cell systems with optical fluorescent imaging provides unique opportunities to examine the infiltration of donor...

Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Agrobacterium tumefaciens (A. tumefaciens) are bacterial species commonly found in the environment, and they can do much harm to humans, animals and plants. As a result, it is necessary to find an accurate, rapid, simpl...

Any application of nanoparticles is influenced by the unavoidable tendency of these particles to agglomerate. As a result, one obtains a more or less broad distribution of agglomerate sizes. This may influence the properties significantly. Looking at...

In recent years, various types of sensors have been developed at both millimeter (mm) and micrometer (µm) scales for numerous biomedical applications. Each design has its own advantages and limitations. This study compares the electrical charac...

Quercetin, a flavonoid, has well-proven cytotoxicity potential, but its therapeutic efficacy is hampered by hydrophobicity, stability issues, and lower bioavailability. The present research aims to address these issues and formulation barriers by for...

This work determined the resistance of paint formulations containing TiO₂ particles to fungal growth. Siloxane, acrylic and silicone paints were placed outdoors, and the fungal species growing thereon were recorded after 3, 6 and 9 months. In additio...

The catalytic conversion of carbon dioxide (CO₂) into carbon monoxide (CO) via the reverse water–gas shift (RWGS) reaction offers a promising pathway toward a sustainable carbon cycle. However, the competing Sabatier reaction presents a signifi...

This work addresses a critical challenge in microscale computational electromagnetics for liquid crystal-based reconfigurable components: the inadequate capability of current software to accurately identify and simulate higher-order modes (HoMs) in c...

Due to their biocompatibility, nontoxicity, and surface conjugation properties, nanomaterials are effective nanocarriers capable of encapsulating chemotherapeutic drugs and facilitating targeted delivery across the blood–brain barrier (BBB). Al...

This study aimed to characterize the temporal and spatial occurrence of microplastics on the beaches of the Caribbean coast of Limón, Costa Rica. The selected beaches comprise a stretch of 70 km, characterized by large environmental protection...
