We report high optical enhancement in Ag/Au alloys and porous gold nanostructures using Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) technique. Scanning electron microscopy investigation shows the forma…
Several studies have measured the effectiveness of masks at retaining particles of various sizes in vitro . To identify a functional in vivo model, herein we used germ-free (GF) mice to test the effec…
Biomimetic mineralization exploits natural biomineralization processes for the design and fabrication of synthetic functional materials. Here, we report for the first time the use of carbohydrates (po…
Selective adsorption of semiconductor nanocrystals onto an organic self-organized pattern shows a time-dependent behavior. By studying the wetting behavior of delivered solvent (1-phenyloctane) on a l…
In order to easily assess growth and destruction of Toxoplasma gondii in vitro, this report describes two double staining assays that both visualize live and dead organisms: acridine orange--ethidium …
Rhomboid proteases form a paradigm for intramembrane proteolysis and have been implicated in several human diseases. However, their study is hampered by difficulties in solubilization and purification…
Phototrophy and chemotrophy are two dominant modes of microbial metabolism. To date, non-phototrophic microorganisms have been excluded from the solar light-centered phototrophic metabolism. Here we r…
The well-arrayed Pd and Au nanoparticle thin films were successfully prepared by making use of self-assembled PS-b-P4VP block copolymer (BCP) as a mask for the reduction of PdCl2 deposited on glass su…
Two meso-tetraphenylporphyrin (H2TPP) derivatives with different central metal ions, namely ZnTPP, CuTPP, were synthesized, and characterized by a series of spectroscopic methods. Their self-assembly …
Due to its importance to develop strategies for copper(II) (Cu(2+)) detection, we here report a visual and portable strategy for Cu(2+) detection based on designing and using a strip-like hydrogel. Th…
Conventionally implemented MRI is performed in a strong magnetic field, typically >1T. The high fields, however, can lead to many limitations. To overcome these limitations, ultra-low field (ULF) [or …
A series of studies has shown that long-term infusion of insulin and glucose does not increase mean arterial pressure (MAP) in dogs, but we have shown that the same infusion protocol or infusion of gl…
The possibility to operate on magnetic materials through the application of electric rather than magnetic fields-promising faster, more compact and energy efficient circuits-continues to spur the inve…
Organosulfates (OS) are important components of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) that have been identified in numerous field studies. This class of compounds within SOA can potentially affect aerosol p…
To estimate the prevalence of some zoonotic tick-borne pathogens in red deer (Cervus elaphus) living in Italian areas with high risk of arthropod exposure, blood samples from 60 red deer were tested b…
In this paper, we report a kind of bioinspired high performance near-infrared improved transmittance silica surfaces with superhydrophobic properties by colloidal lithography, with transmittance about…
We report an observation of spin-valve-like hysteresis within a few atomic layers at a ferromagnetic interface. We use phonon spectroscopy of nanometer-sized point contacts as an in situ probe to stud…
The purpose of the present work was to characterize the possible inhibition of pancreatic lipase by a tannin-rich extract obtained from the pinh?o (Araucaria angustifolia seed) coat, based on the prev…
Earlier reports indicate that calves derived from in vitro produced (IVP) embryos are more susceptible to neonatal disease than calves produced after artificial insemination (AI) or natural mating. Th…
We report a way of using citrates, ionic capping molecules on gold nanoparticles, as a "tuner" to adjust the charge density on the particles by solution pH, in correlation with their association const…
