Bismuth-gold nanohybrid based nano photosensitizer to combat antimicrobial resistance
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) leads to a decrease in the adequacy of antimicrobial agents and an increase in the rate of adverse effects and mortality. The main objective of this project is to investigate the synergistic effect of BiAu@NCLin-T1 and its ...

Photosensitive chalcogenide metasurfaces supporting bound states in the continuum [PDF]
We study, both theoretically and experimentally, tunable metasurfaces supporting sharp Fano-resonances inspired by optical bound states in the continuum. We explore the use of arsenic trisulfide (a photosensitive chalcogenide glass) having optical properties which can be finely tuned by light absorption at the post-fabrication stage.

A Quantum Mechanical Description of Photosensitization in Photodynamic Therapy using a Two-Electron Molecule Approximation [PDF]
A fundamental, Quantum Mechanical description of photoactivation of a generic photosensitizer and the ensuing transfer of energy to endogenous oxygen as part of the Type II pathway to photodamage during photodynamic therapy (PDT) is presented. The PS and molecular oxygen are approximated as two-electron molecules.

Electro- and photoswitching of undulation structures in planar cholesteric layers aligned by a polyimide film possessing various values of the anchoring energy [PDF]
The base for this manuscript was laid down by the studies carried out in the article by Senyuk B, et. al. Proceedings of SPIE. 2005; 5936: 59360W-1-9. In the present manuscript, a planar layer of the photosensitive cholesteric, based on the chiral dopant 2-(4'-phenylbenzylidene)-p-menthane-3-one dissolved in the nematic E7, under the alternating ...

A Phase I Trial of Aminolevulinic Acid-Photodynamic Therapy for Treatment of Oral Leukoplakia [PDF]
Background Photodynamic therapy with aminolevulinic acid (ALA PDT) for oral leukoplakia has shown promising effects in regression of oral leukoplakia. Although ALA has been extensively studied and is an ideal photosensitizer, the optimal light dose for ...
