A new technique to study nutrient flow in host-parasite systems by carbon stable isotope analysis of amino acids and glucose

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
Stable isotope analysis of individual compounds is emerging as a powerful tool to study nutrient origin and conversion in host-parasite systems. We measured the carbon isotope composition of amino acids and glucose in the cestode Schistocephalus solidus ...

Tailoring Phonon‐Driven Responses in α‐MoO3 through Isotopic Enrichment

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The implementation of polaritonic materials into nanoscale devices requires selective tuning of parameters to realize desired spectral or thermal responses. One robust material, α‐MoO3, an orthorhombic crystal boasting three distinct phonon dispersions, provides three polaritonic dispersions of hyperbolic phonon polaritons (HPhPs) across the ...

Sulfur isotope rations of sulfide minerals from the deposit of the Tsuchikura mine, Shiga Prafecture, Japan

open access: yes, 1998
Sulfur isotope rations of sulfide minerals in the ore specimens from the deposit of the Tsuchikura mine are distrib-uted in a range from -0.8 to 5.4%, mostly from +0.5 to 3.0%, close to the previous data (from +1 to +3%) by Miyake and Sasaki (1980).

Bias‐Triggered Conductivity Relaxation (BCR): A Unique Tool to Simultaneously Investigate Thermodynamics, Kinetics, and Electrostatic Effects of Oxygen Reactions in MIEC Thin Films

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
This work develops bias‐triggered conductivity relaxation as a novel technique to study oxygen reactions in mixed ionic‐electronic conducting thin films by integrating electrochemical titration and electrical conductivity relaxation to achieve synchronous multi‐parameter characterization, providing simultaneous electronic, ionic, and extraordinarily ...

Neutron Reflectometry and Compression of Graded Hydrogel Surfaces

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Highly‐entangled and covalently‐crosslinked hydrogels with thin and thick surface gel layers are compressed in neutron reflectometry experiments. Surface gel layer thickness dictates the extent to which the polymer network at the surface of a hydrogel collapses, while crosslinking chemistry, and therefore elastic modulus, impacts the pressure at which ...

The Evolution of Aerosol Jet Printing, A Review: Enhancing Material Versatility and Improvements for Next‐Generation Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Aerosol Jet Printing (AJP) has emerged as a versatile additive manufacturing technique for high‐resolution, conformal, and multi‐material printing. This review highlights advances in printable materials, substrate compatibility, post‐processing, characterization, and process innovations, while critically discussing current challenges and future ...

Color Center Formation in Silicon‐On‐Insulator for On‐Chip Photonic Integration

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Color centers in silicon have great potential as single photon sources for quantum technologies. Some of them – like the T center – also possess optically‐active spins that enable spin‐photon interfaces for generating entangled photons and multi‐spin registers. This paper explores the generation of several types of color centers in silicon for

Experimental quantification of the effect of Mg on calcite–aqueous fluid oxygen isotope fractionation

open access: yes, 2012
Magnesium calcites were synthesized from aqueous solutions supersaturated with respect to calcite at 25, 40, 60, and 80 °C in gas tight batch reactors for up to 35 days. Any amorphous material still present in the precipitates was removed using a partial

Seasonal trends of the stable nitrogen isotope ratio in particulate nitrogen compounds and their gaseous precursors in Akita, Japan

open access: yesTellus: Series B, Chemical and Physical Meteorology, 2019
Particulate matter (PM) can have adverse effects on human health. Moreover, because the mechanisms of PM formation and behavior in the atmosphere are notably complicated, to reduce PM concentrations effectively and meet environmental standards, source ...

Ab initio calculation of the Zn isotope effect in phosphates, citrates, and malates and applications to plants and soil. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Stable Zn isotopes are fractionated in roots and leaves of plants. Analyses demonstrate that the heavy Zn isotopes are enriched in the root system of plants with respect to shoots and leaves as well as the host soil, but the fractionation mechanisms ...
