Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.Ultrafast carriers transfer dynamics in the layered CuO∖TiO2 heterostructure. ABSTRACT Understanding the charge carrier dynamics at the p‐n heterojunctions is indispensable for designing efficient photocatalysts. In this work, we used element‐specific time‐resolved soft X‐ray absorption spectroscopy (tr‐XAS) to investigate the ultrafast charge transfer

Development of Nanoflare Nanosensors for Monitoring Cellular Insulin mRNA in Beta Cells and Islets
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.This study presents the design and application of In2‐NF probes for detecting insulin mRNA in beta cells and islets. Using spherical nucleic acid‐coated gold nanoparticles, the probes offer strong fluorescent signals upon hybridization. Their performance is validated across 2D and 3D cultures and rat islets, demonstrating sensitive, real‐time mRNA ...

Analysis of the micro Urban Heat Island effect
ISPRS Annals of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information SciencesAbstract. Urban areas worldwide are experiencing increase in temperatures due to urbanisation and, leading to the effect of Urban Heat Islands (UHIs), which threaten urban sustainability. Global research aims to identify UHIs and develop mitigation measures.
