Inactivation efficacy of atmospheric air plasma and airborne acoustic ultrasound against bacterial biofilms

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Biofilms are complex microbial communities that present serious contamination risks to our environment and health. In this study, atmospheric air plasma and airborne acoustic ultrasound technology were applied to inactivate Escherichia coli and Listeria ...

Nanoscale diffractive probing of strain dynamics in ultrafast transmission electron microscopy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The control of optically driven high-frequency strain waves in nanostructured systems is an essential ingredient for the further development of nanophononics. However, broadly applicable experimental means to quantitatively map such structural distortion

Surface Acoustic Waves in Thin Films Nanometrology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Thin films nanometrology is an emerging field in nanoscience as the synthesis, processing and applications of nanostructured thin films require an in-depth knowledge of their elastic constants. The elastic energy of a surface acoustic wave propagating in

Acoustic Attenuation of COVID-19 Face Masks: Correlation to Fibrous Material Porosity, Mask Breathability and Bacterial Filtration Efficiency

open access: yesAcoustics, 2022
This paper presents an experimental study on acoustic attenuation of different types of face masks in use by the general population during the COVID-19 pandemic. In particular, measurements are performed on ten samples of masks, of which four are medical

Background-deflection Brillouin microscopy reveals altered biomechanics of intracellular stress granules by ALS protein FUS [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Altered cellular biomechanics have been implicated as key photogenic triggers in age-related diseases. An aberrant liquid-to-solid phase transition, observed in in vitro reconstituted droplets of FUS protein, has been recently proposed as a possible ...

Scanning acoustic microscopy as a non-destructive imaging tool to localize defects inside battery cells

open access: yesJournal of Power Sources Advances, 2020
Scanning Acoustic Microscopy (SAM) is shown here for the first time to be suitable for the visualization of defects like electrolyte leakage, faulty electrodes and gas accumulation inside coin and pouch battery cells.

Acoustic properties of dialysed kidney by scanning acoustic microscopy [PDF]

open access: yesNephrology Dialysis Transplantation, 1997
A correlation between acquired renal cysts in the dialysed kidney and renal cancer has long been debated, but no changes in the physical properties of kidneys at the microscopic level have been reported. The purpose of the present study was to classify the physical properties of the kidneys of patients undergoing haemodialysis at several stages of ...

Fast label-free multilayered histology-like imaging of human breast cancer by photoacoustic microscopy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The goal of breast-conserving surgery is to completely remove all of the cancer. Currently, no intraoperative tools can microscopically analyze the entire lumpectomy specimen, which results in 20 to 60% of patients undergoing second surgeries to achieve ...
