Earthworm coelomocytes as nanoscavenger of ZnO NPs [PDF]
Nanoscale Research Letters, 2014 Abstract Earthworms can ‘biotransform’ or ‘biodegrade’ chemical contaminants, rendering them harmless in their bodies, and can bioaccumulate them in their tissues. They ‘absorb’ the dissolved chemicals through their moist ‘body wall’ due to the interstitial water and also ingest by ‘mouth’ while soil passes through the gut.

Optical and structural properties of ZnO NPs and ZnO–Bi2O3 nanocomposites
Ceramics International, 2022 Abstract Pure ZnO and ZnO–Bi2O3 nanocomposites with 5 wt% and 10 wt% of Bi2O3 content were synthesized using the co-precipitation method. Optical properties such as refractive index (n), extinction coefficient (k), bandgap (Eg), and Urbach energies, as well as the band structure, were determined by modeling the experimental transmittance and ...
