ε2 phages are naturally bred and have a vastly improved host range in Staphylococcus aureus over wild type phages

Due to the rapid spread of antibiotic resistance, and the difficulties of treating biofilm-associated infections, alternative treatments for S. aureus infections are urgently needed. We tested the lytic...

Secondary Ion Mass Spectroscopy of Phosphorus Doped Silicon Nanowires

We present the results of secondary ion mass spectroscopy studies of silicon nanowires doped with phosphorus by thermal diffusion. First, silicon nanowires were grown on the surface of single-crystal silicon...

Counter-intuitive strength of electric field induced second harmonic (EFISH) signals at the rear side of thin silicon membranes

Electric field induced second harmonic (EFISH) generation typically increases with laser intensity. Therefore, EFISH signals generated at the rear Si=SiO2 interface by a laser beam transmitted through...

MRSA improvement within a highly endemic hospital in Malta: infection control measures or clonal change?

Sample preparation for Raman microspectroscopy

Raman spectroscopy and its variants allow for the investigation of a wide range of biological and biomedicalsamples, i.e. tissue sections, single cells and small molecules. The obtained information is...

Addressing Differentiation in Live Human Keratinocytes by Assessment of Membrane Packing Order

Differentiation of keratinocytes is critical for epidermal stratification and formation of a protective stratum corneum. It involves a series of complex processes leading through gradual changes in characteristics...

Raman Spectroscopy to Characterize Bladder Tissue for Multidimensional Diagnostics of Cancer in Urology

Fiber optic Raman spectroscopy offers labelfree identification of cancer in the bladder under in vivo conditions. However, state-of-the-art Raman technology does not enable to scan the entire bladder wall....

Photodriven Charge Accumulation and Carrier Dynamics in a Water-Soluble Carbon Nitride Photocatalyst

Charge accumulation in photoactive molecules and materials holds great promise in solar energy conversion as it allows for decoupling solar-driven charging from (dark) redox reactions. In this contribution,...

Thin c-Si solar cells based on VOx heterojunctions with texturized rear surface

Solution processed transparent conductive hybrid thin films based on silver nanowires, zinc oxide and graphene

Transparent conductive hybrid thin films based on silver nanowires (AgNW), zinc oxide (ZnO) and graphene were prepared using solution processing methods. For this study, the hexagonal (wurtzite) ZnO particles...
