La integración entre biotecnología y nanotecnología conforma la bionanotecnología que es una disciplina que permite potenciar la utilización de biomoléculas con materiales abióticos de diseño a escala nanométric...

Understanding how common soil constituents regulate iron oxide transformation is essential for predicting the stability of co-occurring Pb and As under dynamic conditions. Here, a decoupling and comparative strategy was ...

China's Clean Air Action (CAA) plan implemented since 2013 has significantly altered atmospheric composition, and yet its impact on the terrestrial carbon sink remains unclear. This study employed the Regional Earth Syst...

The pecan nutshell [Carya illinoinensis (Wangenh) C. Koch] (PNS) is a source of bioactives with important beneficial properties for the human health. PNS represents between 40–50 % of total mass of the nut, resulting ...

When polymers are irradiated with heavy ions new chemical groups are created in a few microns of the material. The irradiation changed the polarity and wettability on the surface so that could enhance the biocompatibilit...

The Pampeano aquifer formed by loess-like sediments provides water to cities and for agricultural uses in the Pampean plain, which is the most productive area in Argentina. Studies on the mechanisms through which this gr...

Strong coupling between light and molecular matter is currently attracting interest both in chemistry and physics, in the fast-growing field of molecular polaritonics. The large near-field enhancement of the electric fie...

Illumination of noble metal nanostructures by electromagnetic radiation induces coherent oscillations of conductive electrons on their surfaces. These coherent oscillations of electrons, also known as localized surface p...

The structure and energetics of two types of oxygen-terminated diamond surfaces, the keto and ether configurations, were investigated by density functional theory. To explore OH generation, we studied the approach of a h...

The realization of higher coupling strengths between coupled resonant modes enables exploration of compelling phenomena in diverse fields of physics and chemistry. In this study, we focus on the modal coupling between lo...

The problem of incomplete data matrices is repeatedly found in large databases; posing a significant obstacle for an effective treatment of data. This paper examines a self-organizing-map (SOM) based method of data imput...

Cerium-based materials were intensively studied in last years because of their high oxygen storage capacity (OSC) associated to the reversible Ce4+ Ce3+ process and their properties closely related to the defect chemistr...

Several forms of niobium oxide were prepared, including nanostructured mesoporous materials, and their acidity properties were comprehensively investigated and compared with commercially available materials. The composit...

The purpose of this work was to investigate the interaction of graphene-like nanoclusters with fragments of polymers of the same nature, but of a slightly different structure, for example, polyethylene (PE) and polypropy...

We report the synthesis, structural characterization, and atomistic simulations of AgPd-Pt trimetallic (TM) nanoparticles. Two types of structure were synthesized using a relatively facile chemical method: multiply twinn...

Abstract Bimolecular nucleophilic substitution (SN2) and base-induced elimination (E2) reactions play crucial roles in chemistry. Here, we report a combined study of ion-molecule crossed-beam 3D velocity map imaging expe...

Metallic lithium plays an important role in the development of next-generation lithium metal-based batteries. However, the uncontrolled growth of lithium dendrites limits the use of lithium metal as an anode. In this con...

The dissolution behavior of atmospheric calcium (Ca) mineral dust released from arid regions and their climate impacts via buffering effects are highly dependent on their size-resolved mineralogical composition. Due to t...

Accelerated molecular dynamics and quantum conductance calculations are employed to shed light onto the electrochemical properties of the Au|1,8-octanedithiol|Au junction. Widely different contact geometries with varying...

The scientific literature on the electrochemical conversion of CO2 on silver and silver-based cathodes in aqueous solutions and nonaqueous media has been analyzed. It has been shown that the most problematic issues regar...

Antimicrobial finishings protect users from pathogenic and odor-generating microorganisms, which are of medical and hygiene concerns. Controlled release is a useful approach to obtain antimicrobial finishings in several ...

This study aimed to develop a novel degrader capable of selectively degrading fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) to overcome the issues of drug resistance and adverse reactions associated with traditional inhibi...

Abstract This study presents the synthesis, characterization, and application of silanized nano-biochar (SNB) derived from palm kernel shell for the development of high-performance low-density polyethylene (LDPE) composi...

We investigate the down-hill creep of a layer of granular material on a slope caused by an oscillatory variation of the size of the particles. The material is modeled as an athermal two dimensional polydisperse system of...
