Copper oxide (CuO) is a p-type semiconductor having a band gap energy of 1.5 eV, which is close to the ideal energy gap of 1.4 eV required for solar cells to allow good solar spectral absorption. The inherent electrical characteristics of CuO nanoparticles make them attractive candidates for improving the performance…

Poor or inefficient lubrication often gives rise to high friction and wear losses in machine components, which adversely affect their performance, efficiency, and durability. Many approaches are being explored to enhance the antifriction and antiwear properties of sliding machine components. In this study, the antifri…

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been extensively explored in a variety of regenerative medicine applications. The relatively large size of MSCs expanded in tissue culture flasks leads to retention in the microcirculation of the lungs following intravenous delivery, reducing their capacity to reach target sites. We…

The magnetic response of the Fe@Sn 12 cluster is investigated by magnetic beam deflection experiments. In contrast to Mn@Sn 12, the molecular beam of this cluster is deflected almost exclusively toward increasing field, also at low temperatures, supposable due to Jahn–Teller induced distortions of the tin cage. The ma…

Abstract In this paper, we propose a new approach for the preparation of sodium‐ and carbonate‐substituted apatite by a wet precipitation method in aqueous media at 23 °C. The main difference between this method and conventional techniques is that poorly crystalline calcium phosphates are obtained and then heated to f…
