BACKGROUND: Nanoparticles (NPs) are widely studied for biomedical applications. Understanding interactions between NPs and biomolecules or cells has yet to be achieved. Here we present a novel in vivo method to study interactions between NPs and the nervous system of the discoid or false dead-head roach, Blaberus disc…

To demonstrate the structure sensitivity of double inner-shell hole spectroscopy, we have measured energies of ${\mathrm{H}}_{2}$S${}^{2+}$, SO${{}_{2}}^{2+}$, and CS${{}_{2}}^{2+}$ with the two vacancies in the sulfur 2$p$ shell using a multielectron coincidence technique combined with synchrotron radiation. We descr…

A novel long-lasting phosphorescence (LLP) material Ba4(Si3O8)2:Eu2+, Dy3+ with high chemical stability was achieved successfully. Two emission centers (Eu (I) and Eu (II)) were found in Ba4(Si3O8)2 due to the substitution of Eu2+ in different Ba2+ sites. Both Eu (I) and Eu (II) had contribution to the afterglow proce…

We have studied the changes in the magnetic behavior of highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) samples subjected to medium-energy proton and helium irradiation. The variations of the ferromagneticlike magnetization curves with the irradiation dose have been studied for two configurations: magnetic fields parallel a…

Wood-polyvinyl chloride (PVC) composites were prepared using industrial wood particles used for manufacturing three-layer particleboards. The effect of particle size (0.25–0.5, 0.5–1, 1–2, and 2–4 mm) on the mechanical properties of the composites was investigated. The effect of cross-section size (4×10, 6×15 and 8×20…

The electronic structure of iron phthalocyanine (FePc) in the valence region was examined within a joint theoretical-experimental collaboration. Particular emphasis was placed on the determination of the energy position of the Fe 3d levels in proximity of the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO). Photoelectron sp…

In this work, we have developed a facile and inexpensive method to fabricate a superhydrophobic surface with hierarchical nano- and microstructures. The superhydrophobic surface was prepared through spin coating of a mixture of nano- and microsized calcium carbonate (CaCO 3 ) suspensions on a substrate, followed by mo…

Hierarchically mesoporous silica nanoparticles (HMSNs) with uniform morphology and structure and with a diameter of ca. 100-220 nm were facilely fabricated using water, ethanol and ethyl ether as cosolvents. Template extraction and amino-functionalization were performed toward the HMSNs. These hierarchical mesopores a…

Utilizing a hexadentate ligand platform, a high-spin trinuclear iron complex of the type ((tbs)L)Fe(3)(thf) was synthesized and characterized ([(tbs)L](6-) = [1,3,5-C(6)H(9)(NPh-o-NSi(t)BuMe(2))(3)](6-)). The silyl-amide groups only permit ligation of one solvent molecule to the tri-iron core, resulting in an asymmetr…

A distinctive feature of single-layer graphene is the linearly dispersive energy bands, which in the case of multilayer graphene become parabolic. A simple electrical transport-based probe to differentiate between these two band structures will be immensely valuable, particularly when quantum Hall measurements are dif…
