Bio‐Inspired Synthesis of Macroporous Single Crystal Particles as Scattering Agents

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A general strategy is presented that delivers unique, single‐crystal microparticles that combine submicron macroporosity and uniform particle shapes. A bioinspired approach is used to occlude three distinct types of additives – polystyrene microspheres, polymer vesicles and amino acids – within calcite single crystals, and subsequent thermal annealing ...

Mechanically Mutable Matrices: A Hierarchical Investigation of Decellularized Sea Cucumber Collagen as an Adaptable Scaffold Material

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Sea cucumber mutable collagenous tissue (MCT) is a remarkable collagen‐based material which can rapidly undergo large changes in stiffness through transiently bound effector proteins. Here, we investigate the hierarchical structure and mechanical response of MCT from Cucumaria frondosa across length scales with a wide range of methods, also exploring ...

Novel and ecofriendly synthesis of Ag-TiO2-G photocatalyst and investigate the effect of graphene in photodegradation of an organic pollutant in water [PDF]

Journal of Water and Environmental Nanotechnology, 2019
In this paper, Ag-TiO2-Graphene (Ag-TiO2-G) photocatalyst is synthesized via an economic and green rout. Pranus Cerasus is applied as a green reducing agent due to the presence of anthocyanin pigment. The anthocyanin molecules are responsible for the red

Mapping of a novel locus regulating anthocyanin pigmentation in Brassica rapa

Breeding Science, 2010
We crossed a doubled haploid line of the turnip Brassica rapa cv. ‘Iyo-hikabu’, which is pigmented with anthocyanin, with a Chinese cabbage inbred line, ‘Y54’, which lacks anthocyanin pigmentation. The presence and absence of anthocyanin pigmentation was segregated 79: 27 in the F2 population, suggesting monogenic control.

Silicone Phase Behavior Resolves the Softness–Surface Functionality Trade‐Off in Emerging Stretchable Electronics

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Ultrasoft silicone elastomers often sacrifice surface functionality for mechanical compliance. In Mold Star, low‐molecular‐weight species form a dispersed phase that weakens the network and passivates the surface. Solvent extraction removes this phase, unexpectedly improving both extensibility and metallization performance, enabling conductive ...

Integrating UAV-Mounted Diffraction Spectroscopy and FBG Sensor Networks for Real-Time Forest Health Monitoring

IEEE Access
Real-time forest health assessment requires both fine-scale physiological measurements and landscape-scale biochemical mapping, yet current monitoring strategies rarely integrate in-situ and airborne modalities into a unified operational framework. Here,

Integrated X-ray fluorescence and diffuse visible-to-near-infrared reflectance scanner for standoff elemental and molecular spectroscopic imaging of paints and works on paper

Heritage Science, 2018
Prior studies have shown the improved ability to identify artists’ pigments by combining results from X-ray fluorescence (XRF), which provides elemental information, with reflectance spectroscopy in the visible to near infrared (400–1000 nm) that ...

An alternative approach to mapping pigments in paintings with hyperspectral reflectance image cubes using artificial intelligence

Heritage Science, 2020
Spectral imaging modalities, including reflectance and X-ray fluorescence, play an important role in conservation science. In reflectance hyperspectral imaging, the data are classified into areas having similar spectra and turned into labeled pigment ...

A Gene Locus Responsible for Reticulate Pigmented Anomaly of the Flexures Maps to Chromosome 17p13.3 [PDF]

Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 2006
Reticulate pigmented anomaly of the flexures (RPAF), also called Dowling-Degos disease, is a rare autosomal-dominant cutaneous disorder characterized by spotted and reticulate pigmentation of the flexures. The gene, or even the chromosomal location, for RPAF has not yet been identified.
