Band Edge Reorganization via Symmetry Constraints in Covalent Bonding Heterojunctions Boosts Photocatalytic Metronidazole Degradation

Rare Metals, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The covalent bonds at heterojunction interfaces enable more efficient charge carrier separation than traditional weakly coupled heterojunctions, with enhanced photocatalytic performance for organic wastewater purification. The interfacial covalent bonds drive energy band reorganization, rendering the conventional independent band edge ...

Opportunities for 2D‐Material‐Based Multifunctional Devices and Systems in Bioinspired Neural Networks

Small, EarlyView.
Bio‐inspired computing offers a route to highly energy‐efficient artificial intelligence. The unique physical properties of two‐dimensional (2D) materials can further enhance such computing approaches. This perspective highlights recent developments in 2D materials‐based neuromorphic devices and discusses future opportunities for integrating such novel

Bridging the Effects of Noncontact Temperature Sensing and Cellular Biofunctionality in Nanosized Dysprosium(III)‐Doped Fluorapatite

Small, EarlyView.
Multifunctional dysprosium(III) ion–doped fluorapatite nanomaterials combine bioactivity with photoluminescent temperature sensing. The biological studies reveal interactions with progenitor cells, highlighting potential applications in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering, while temperature‐dependent emission of Dy³⁺ ions enables reliable ...

New Hybrid Nanocomposite Films for Optical Diagnostics and Optical Temperature Sensing: Synergy Among α‐Synuclein, Gold and Upconverting Nanoparticles

Small, EarlyView.
Gold and upconverting nanoparticles coated with alpha‐synuclein were exploited to produce a quasi‐monolayer hybrid film. The film was then characterized, and its behaviour as a primary optical nano‐thermometer was studied. The film was also used in a proof‐of‐concept study of image‐based optical nanothermometry exploiting a home‐built up‐conversion ...

Intima-media thickness of the descending aorta in patients with bicuspid aortic valve

International Journal of Cardiology: Heart & Vasculature, 2016
Objective: A bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is associated with accelerated aortic valve disease (AVD) and abnormalities in aortic elasticity. We investigated the intima-media thickness of the descending aorta (AoIMT) in patients with AVD with or without an ...

Quantizing DNA Metallization for Site‐Defined Growth of Single Quantum Emitters

Small Structures, EarlyView.
Predictive design rules guide DNA origami‐templated synthesis of atomically precise silver nanoclusters. Controlled nucleation yields single emitters with nanometer registration and reproducible fluorescence signatures, paving the way toward programable quantum photonic architectures and nanoscale device integration.

Na4Ba9MnN3: A New Subnitridometalate with Trigonal Planar Anions [MnIIIN3]6−

Zeitschrift für anorganische und allgemeine Chemie, EarlyView.
The new subvalent nitridomanganate(III) Na4Ba9MnN3 contains structural elements known from ionic subnitridometalates as well as from intermetallic phases. In similarity to Ba3MnN3, isolated trigonal planar nitridomanganate(III) anions (MnN3)6−, coordinated by barium atoms represent the ionic region, while mixed barium‐sodium icosahedra known from ...

The 2b Protein of Cucumoviruses Has a Role in Promoting the Cell-to-cell Movement of Pseudorecombinant Viruses

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2003
Pseudorecombinant viruses (i.e., those containing a reas-sorted genome of closely related multipartite viruses) are often not as competitive as the parental viruses. The role of the 2b gene in hypervirulence and maintenance of a progressive infection was

Chrysoperla externa (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) as a Potential Biological Control Agent of Raoiella indica (Acari: Tenuipalpidae)

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
First and third instar Chrysoperla externa showed efficient predatory capacity at low R. indica density, but second instar C. externa exhibits a density‐dependent predatory ability. The lacewing C. externa shows promise as a biocontrol agent for R. indica in coconut because it consumed 8362 R. indica females across all its larval instars.
