Biofilms - communities of microorganisms attached to surfaces - are a constant threat for long-term success in modern implantology. The application of laser scanning microscopy (LSM) has increased the knowledge about ...

The investigation of iron-doped AlO(OH)/Al2O3 systems revealed that the combined employment of Mössbauer and ESR spectroscopies together with thermal analysis yields meaningful data with complementary information. This ...

A detailed study on the slow dynamics of ferrocene in the unidimensional channels of the molecular sieves SSZ-24 and AlPO4-5 has been carried out, using Mössbauer spectroscopy (MS), nuclear forward scattering (NFS) and ...

Hydrogel waveguides have found increased use for variety of applications where biocompatibility and flexibility are important. In this work, we demonstrate the use of polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEGDA) waveguides to ...

Mesoporous amino-functionalized metal-organic framework thin films with the UiO-68 topology were grown in a highly oriented fashion on two different self-assembled monolayers on gold. The oriented MOF films were covalently ...

An essential component of manually operated vehicle transmissions is the synchronising device. Synchronizers have the task of minimizing the speed difference between the shifted gearwheel and the shaft by means of frictional ...

In this work, a very simple one-pot synthetic approach was developed to generate aqueous CdTe/CdS/ZnS type-II/type-I red-emitting nanocrystals (NCs). Strain-induced optical properties of CdTe/CdS particles having ...

A Penning-trap facility for high-precision mass spectrometry based on a novel detection method has been built. This method consists in measuring motional frequencies of singly-charged ions trapped in strong magnetic fields ...
