Hydrogen's significance as a clean and high-energy source spans various industries, driving advancements in fuel cell technology, transportation, and renewable energy storage systems. In particular, solid-state proton ...
BaCe0.6Zr0.3Y0.1O3-α electrochemical hydrogen sensor for fusion applications
Potentiometric sensors are broadening their application scope because they are affordable and scalable devices capable of being used in-field and online. In that frame, the use of proton-conducting solid-state electrolytes ...
Potentiometric Hydrogen Sensor with 3D-Printed BaCe0.6Zr0.3Y0.1O3-α Electrolyte for High-Temperature Applications
Hydrogen is expected to play an important role in the near future in the transition to a net-zero economy. Therefore, the development of new in situ and real-time analytical tools able to quantify hydrogen at high temperatures ...
Morphology control of dynamic optical matter of gold nanoparticles fabricated by optical trapping in printed microchannels
Optical trapping at interfaces has emerged as a valuable research topic in the study of colloidal particles and soft matter. Objects are drawn from the irradiated cone-like region toward the laser focus, generating flow ...
Preventing a public health issue by quantification of illegally added sexual enhancers in natural dietary supplements
The lack of regulation for "natural" dietary supplements raises public health concerns as they may contain undisclosed active ingredients, without proper labelling. Natural libido boosters, marketed as dietary supplements ...
Combining molecular modelling approaches for a holistic thermophysical characterisation of fluorinated refrigerant blends
After Montreal Protocol, hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) appeared to be a permanent solution for replacing previous ozone-depleting substances. However, their utilisation has now progressively decreased following the Kigali ...
Acute Paraoxon-Induced Neurotoxicity in a Mouse Survival Model: Oxidative Stress, Dopaminergic System Alterations and Memory Deficits
The secondary neurotoxicity induced by severe organophosphorus (OP) poisoning, including paraoxon (POX), is associated with cognitive impairments in survivors, who, despite receiving appropriate emergency treatments, may ...
Rational Method for Structural Simplification as Key Step in Hit Discovery: The Case of FGFR2 and IGF1R Dual Inhibitors
In the classic medicinal chemistry hit discovery procedure, large virtual libraries undergo different filtering and prediction steps until a small group of molecules is selected for their subsequent synthesis and biological ...
Unveiling the potential abuse liability of α-D2PV: A novel α-carbon phenyl-substituted synthetic cathinone
Synthetic cathinones are emerging psychoactive substances designed to mimic the effects of classical psychostimulants. Among them, α-D2PV, a novel pyrrolidine-containing cathinone characterized by a phenyl group on the ...
NIR Luminescence from Deep-Level Traps in CsPbBr3 Microcrystals
In this study, we report the first observation of a near-infrared (NIR) emission band from all-inorganic CsPbBr3 and CsPb(Br/Cl)3 perovskite microcrystals. By means of temperature- and power-dependent NIR and visible ...
Estudi teòric-experimental del comportament interfacial de mescles aquoses d’èster metílic a pressió atmosfèrica
En aquest treball, s’ha completat un estudi teòric-experimental de la densitat i tensió interfacial (IFT) de mescles aquoses d’èster metílic de longitud de cadena variable en equilibri líquid – líquid (LLE) a pressió ...
The potential of proteolytic chimeras as pharmalogical tools and therapeutic agents
The induction of protein degradation in a highly selective and efficient way by means of druggable molecules is known as targeted protein degradation (TPD). TPD emerged in the literature as a revolutionary idea: a ...
NIR Luminescence from Deep-Level Traps in CsPbBr3 Microcrystals
In this study, we report the first observation of a near-infrared (NIR) emission band from all-inorganic CsPbBr3 and CsPb(Br/Cl)3 perovskite microcrystals. By means of temperature- and power-dependent NIR and visible ...
Gaining control on optical force by the stimulated-emission resonance effect
The resonance between an electronic transition of a micro/nanoscale object and an incident photon flux can modify the radiation force exerted on that object, especially at an interface. It has been theoretically proposed ...
En route to decarbonization: A periodisation of just transition in four carbon-intensive EU regions
In 2019, the European Commission launched the Green Deal to achieve climate neutrality by 2050, with the decarbonization of energy sources as one of its pillars. However, decarbonization is proceeding unevenly and is ...
Polymer stealthing and mucin-1 retargeting for enhanced pharmacokinetics of an oncolytic vaccinia virus
Vaccinia virus (VV) is a powerful tool for cancer treatment with the potential for tumor tropism, efficient cell-to-cell spread, rapid replication in cancer cells, and stimulation of anti-tumor immunity. It has a well-defined ...
Eliciting Emotions: Investigating the Use of Generative AI and Facial Muscle Activation in Children’s Emotional Recognition
This study explores children’s emotions through a novel approach of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) and Facial Muscle Activation (FMA). It examines GenAI’s effectiveness in creating facial images that produce ...
Functional Polarization of Liver Macrophages by Glyco Gold Nanoparticles
Macrophages are crucial drivers of innate immunity. Reprogramming macrophages to a restorative phenotype in cancer or autoimmune diseases can stop their cancer-promoting activity or trigger anti-inflammatory immunity. ...
Multipollutant Abatement through Visible Photocatalytic System
Water pollution damages the aquatic environment due to the presence of organic contaminants, which in turn is distressing to the ecosystem. Photocatalytic activity is a greener and promising method to degrade these organic ...
