Helium irradiation effects in polycrystalline Si, silica, and single crystal Si [PDF]

, 2012
Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) has been used to investigate the effects of room temperature 6 keV helium ion irradiation of a thin (≈55 nm thick) tri-layer consisting of polycrystalline Si, silica, and single-crystal Si.

Utilizing Hydrophobic Sand to Construct an Air-Permeable Aquiclude to Enhance Rice Yield and Lodging Resistance

Agronomy
Global climate change and persistent droughts lead to soil desertification, posing significant challenges to food security. Desertified lands, characterized by high permeability, struggle to retain water, thereby hindering ecological restoration. Sand, a

Salmonella lipopolysaccharide‐containing supported lipid bilayers as platforms to study bacteriophage interactions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...
