Fluoride-Sulfophosphate/Silica Hybrid Fiber as a Platform for Optically Active Materials

Pressure-assisted melt filling (PAMF) of pre-fabricated micro-capillaries has been proven an effective way of fabricating hybrid optical fiber (HOF) from unusual combinations of materials. Here, we extend...

Molecular Specific and Sensitive Detection of Pyrazinamide and Its Metabolite Pyrazinoic Acid by Means of Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy Employing In Situ Prepared Colloids

The prodrug pyrazinamide (PZA) is metabolized by the mycobacteria to pyrazinoic acid (POA), which is expelled into the extracellular environment. PZA resistance is highly associated to a lack of POA efflux....

Fabrication of 3D self-assembled UV-NIR broadband absorbers using metastable atomic layer deposition (MS-ALD)

Lipid tracking through iSCAT microscopy reveals novel details into plasma membrane dynamics

Understanding the dynamics and organization of lipid membranes is a central topic in modern Biophysics. In fact, the molecular mobility of the lipid fraction is a very important factor in processes such...

Sample drift estimation method based on speckle patterns formed by backscattered laser light

Single molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) has been established to acquire images with unprecedented resolution down to several nanometers. A typical time scale for image acquisition is several minutes...

Direct molecular level near-field plasmon and temperature assessment in a single plasmonic hot spot

Tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS) is now widely recognized as an inescapable but still emergent technique for exploring the nanoscale. However, our lack of comprehension of critical parameters still...

Labile Heme Impairs Hepatic Microcirculation and Promotes Hapatic Injury

Sepsis is a life-threatening clinical syndrome defined as a deregulated host response to infection associated with organ dysfunction. Mechanisms underlying the pathophysiology of septic liver dysfunction...

Staphylococcus aureus isolates associated with nasal colonisation and environmental contamination in academic dental clinics: population structure and characterization of antibiotic and virulence markers

Multicrystalline silicon thin film solar cells based on vanadium oxide heterojunction and laser doped contacts

Liquid phase crystallized (LPC) silicon thin films on glass substrates are a feasible alternative to conventional crystalline silicon (c-Si) wafers for solar cells. Due to substrate limitation, a low temperature...

Selective Isotopic Labeling Resolves the Gel-to-Fluid Phase Transitions of the Individual Leaflets of a Planar-Supported Phospholipid Bilayer

Knowledge of the thermotropic phase behavior of solid-supported bilayer lipid assemblies is essential to mimick the molecular organization and lateral fluidity of cell membranes. The gel-to-fluid phase...
