Fe–Ni nanoparticles are attractive candidates for magnetic cores of transformers and inductors that are operated at high frequencies. When applying Fe–Ni nanoparticles in magnetic cores, particle size must be controlled to enhance magnetic properties. A two-step synthetic method can be useful for fabricating size-controlled Fe–Ni nanoparticles. In ...

Diseases and disorders of the nervous system, like Parkinson disease (PD) and other neurodegenerative pathologies, are widespread in our society. The arsenal of treatments against these pathologies continues to increase, but in many cases, its use is limited. This is due to the blood-brain barrier (BBB), which acts by limiting the penetration of dr...

The hydrogel is the three-dimensional polymer net that has been widely investigated for wound healing, tissue engineering, and drug-delivering system. This can support cell attachment and proliferation, mimic nature tissues, and control drug sustained release in the lesion sites. However, a natural polymer-based hydrogel is easily susceptible to me...

A theoretical study on the interactions between X12Y12 nanocages (Al12N12, Al12P12, B12N12, and B12P12) and putrescine molecule (Put) is presented, using density functional theory (DFT) B3LYP/6-31+G(d) methodology. Structural, energetic, and electronic variations were observed for putrescine molecules adsorbed in nanocages, and results showed that ...

A completely green method is reported here for the preparation of ethyl cellulose submicrospherical capsules wrapped with graphene. Graphene preparation is done by the sonication-assisted graphite exfoliation with the use of ethyl cellulose in an ethanol medium. Edge functionalization of graphene with ethyl cellulose under solvothermal treatment, a...

We used triple-quadrupole and high-resolution inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) in single-particle mode to characterize the food additive E171 (titanium dioxide, TiO2) in chewing gum, chocolate candy, and cake decoration in the same sample extracts. Then, we spiked TiO2 particles (with similar characteristics as E171) to milk as...

The bismuth superhydrophobic surface (BiSHS) was fabricated on aluminum (Al) substrate by immersion in BiCl3 aqueous solution following annealing treatment. The surface morphology of the sample shows cauliflower and landmass like structures by scanning electron microscope. The size of NPs in the microscaled landmass texture is from 200 to 500 nm. T...

Carbon quantum dots surface doped with nitrogen (N-CQDs) were synthesized with quantum yield (24.9–66.4%) via an easy hydrothermal route while using citric acid as a precursor for carbon and varying concentrations of DL-Alaninol as the dopant. The as-prepared N-CQDs with adjustable fluorescence emission transformed from weak excitation-dependent to...

The solid-phase reaction method for preparing forsterite (Mg2SiO4) using the MgO and SiO2 powders has the disadvantages of high reaction temperature, long reaction time, and inhomogeneous reaction depending on the particle size of MgO. Therefore, MgO-based powders with a high reactivity were synthesized using a coprecipitation method with substitut...

In this study, a general 3D distributed modeling of Trolling-Mode AFM (TR-AFM) as a nanorobot is presented to analyze the 2D manipulation process of a spherical cell. To this aim, the analysis is categorized into 3 sections. In the first section, 6 deformations of TR-AFM are taken into account, and the standard model of the system is obtained. More...
