Dual Modality Semiconducting Polymer Nanoparticles for Use in Optical and Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, Volume 6, Issue 2, February 2026.
Well‐defined dual‐modality semiconducting polymer nanoparticles composed of red‐emitting conjugated polymers functionalized with novel gadolinium‐based contrast agents have been prepared. The assemblies show a greatly enhanced relaxivity performance compared to the clinical standard, Dotarem, while offering ultrabright fluorescence, ideal for optical ...

Twists and Turns of Liquid Crystals Unravelled by Small‐Angle Scattering

Small Methods, Volume 10, Issue 3, 9 February 2026.
X‐ray scattering provides valuable insights into material structure and self‐assembly. This review discusses the use of small‐ and wide‐angle X‐ray scattering (SWAXS) as well as grazing incident SWAXS for examining self‐assembled systems, especially liquid crystals.

Endocrine Functions of Bone Are Suppressed by Orally Administered Glucose Regardless of Bodyweight

Clinical Endocrinology, Volume 104, Issue 2, Page 130-138, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective Bone is a target for diabetic complications, but the impact of metabolic changes on bone metabolism is less understood. Bones participate in energy metabolism by via secreted osteokines. Glucose ingestion reduces bone resorption, but the effects on osteokines remain unknown. Further, it is not known whether the response is altered in

Potential of Y₂Sn₂O₇:Eu³⁺, Dy³⁺ Inorganic Nanophosphors in Latent Fingermark Detection

Crystals
In this work, we investigated the potential of Eu3+/Dy3+-codoped Y2Sn2O7 fluorescent nanophosphors to visualize latent fingermarks. We prepared these nanophosphors with various doping concentrations by the conventional coprecipitation reaction.

Location, Location, Location: Monazite Behaviour During UHT Metamorphism and Melt Crystallization

Journal of Metamorphic Geology, Volume 44, Issue 2, Page 158-175, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Monazite is a robust mineral for recording the suprasolidus evolution of migmatites and granulites. However, monazite commonly has diverse compositions and yields variable dates in a single sample; understanding the controls on monazite behaviour and composition during partial melting and melt crystallization are not always straightforward ...

Effect of the Addition of WO₃ on the Structure and Luminescent Properties of ZnO-B₂O₃:Eu³⁺ Glass

Molecules
Glasses with the compositions in mol % of 50ZnO:(50 − x)B2O3:0.5Eu2O3:xWO3, x = 0, 1, 3, 5 and 10 were obtained by applying the melt-quenching method and investigated by Raman spectroscopy, DSC analysis and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy.

Characterizing the Lanthanide‐Binding Tag Grafted at Calmodulin Site 1: Affinity, Selectivity, and Coordination Properties

European Journal of Inorganic Chemistry, Volume 29, Issue 3, January 21, 2026.
Lanthanide affinity and selectivity in proteins remain poorly understood. Engineering calmodulin with a lanthanide‐binding tag at Site 1 boosts affinity from nanomolar (isolated LBTs) to picomolar dissociation constants, comparable to lanmodulin but with distinct selectivity.
