Boron clusters (ferrabisdicarbollides) shaping the future as radiosensitizers for multimodal (chemo/radio/PBFR) therapy of glioblastoma
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2022-10-24)
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common and fatal primary brain tumor, and is highly resistant to conventional radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Therefore, the development of multidrug resistance and tumor recurrence ...
α-Synuclein emerges as a potent regulator of VDAC-facilitated calcium transport
(Elsevier, 2021-02-02)
Voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC) is the most ubiquitous channel at the mitochondrial outer membrane, and is believed to be the pathway for calcium entering or leaving the mitochondria. Therefore, understanding the ...
Characterization of Aerosol Deposited Cesium Lead Tribromide Perovskite Films on Interdigited ITO Electrodes
(John Wiley & Sons, 2021-01-15)
Aerosol deposition (AD) is a promising additive manufacturing method to fabricate low-cost, scalable films at room temperature, but has not been considered for semiconductor processing, so far. The successful preparation ...
A low temperature aqueous formate fuel cell using cobalt hexacyanoferrate as a non-noble metal oxidation catalyst
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2020-12-01)
Cobalt hexacyanoferrate, the Co–Fe Prussian blue derivative (CoFePB), is an effective, selective and stable electrocatalyst for formate oxidation, exhibiting robust performance under a variety of electrolyte conditions. ...
Terahertz emission increase in GaAs films exhibiting structural defects grown on Si (100) substrates using a two-layered LTG-GaAs buffer system
(American Statistical AssociationInternational Biometrics SocietySpringer Verlag, 2021-04-22)
Terahertz (THz) emission increase is observed for GaAs thin films that exhibit structural defects. The GaAs epilayers are grown by molecular beam epitaxy on exactly oriented Si (100) substrates at three different temperatures ...
Effects of mitigation of pixel crosstalk in the encoding of complex fields using the double-phase method
(Society of Photo-optical Instrumentation Engineers, 2020)
We report on unwanted effects of pixel cross-talk and its mitigation on the experimental realization
of the double-phase method with phase-only spatial light modulators. We experimentally demonstrate that a
generalized ...
Efficient carbon dioxide hydrogenation to formic acid with buffering ionic liquids
(Springer Nature, 2021-01-11)
The efficient transformation of CO2 into chemicals and fuels is a key challenge for the decarbonisation of the synthetic production chain. Formic acid (FA) represents the first product of CO2 hydrogenation and can be a ...
Self-supported ultra-active NiO-based electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction by solution combustion
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2021-04-20)
The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is a fundamental process to develop a technology that can drive energy transition towards renewable and sustainable fuels. Nevertheless, efficient and straightforward methodologies to ...
Revealing the contribution of singlet oxygen in the photoelectrochemical oxidation of benzyl alcohol
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2021-02)
Photoelectrochemical approaches are finding use in the transformation of organic molecules beyond water oxidation and CO2 reduction. Among the different reactions that can be performed, the selective oxidation of alcohols ...
