2D perovskites have recently been shown to exhibit significantly improved environmental stability. Derived from their 3D analogues, 2D perovskites are formed by inserting bulky alkylammonium cations in-between the anionic layers. However, these insulating organic spacer cations also hinder charge transport. Herein, such a 2D perovskite, (iso-BA)2(MA)3Pb4I13, that contains short branched-chain spac

A highly sensitive and stable solid state electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensor for tri-n-propylamine (TPrA, as coreactant) detection was developed using Ru(bpy)(3)(2+) ion-exchanged into the composite film of ZnO nanoparticles decorated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (nanoZnO-MWCNTs) and Nafion. The electrocatalytic activity of nano-ZnO active sites towards Ru(bpy)(3)(2+) redox reaction and also t

Highly collimated betatron radiation from a laser wakefield accelerator is a promising tool for spectroscopic measurements. Therefore, there is a requirement to create spectrometers suited to the unique properties of such a source. We demonstrate a spectrometer which achieves an energy resolution of <5 eV at 9 keV (E/Delta;E>1800) and is angularly resolving the x-ray emission allowing the referenc

We present an approach for electrode modification by using the oxidoreductase cellobiose dehydrogenase from the ascomycete Corynascus thermophilus (CtCDH). CtCDH is a two-domain enzyme, in which the catalytic dehydrogenase domain (DHCDH) hosts flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) as cofactor and is connected through a flexible linker to a small cytochrome domain with a heme b cofactor (CYTCDH). This

This paper presents two class-C CMOS VCOs with a dynamic bias of the core transistors, which maximizes the oscillation amplitude without compromising the robustness of the oscillation start-up, thereby breaking the most severe trade-off in the original class-C topology. An analysis of several different oscillators, starting with the common class-B architecture and arriving to the proposed class-C

At present, the conversion of oils to biodiesel is predominantly carried out using chemical catalysts. However, the corresponding lipase-catalysed process has important advantages, which include mild reaction conditions and the possibility of using cheap, low quality feedstocks with a high free fatty acid content. Further increases in the efficiency of the enzymatic process are desired to make it

A powerful alternative to glucose oxidase as anode material in implantable biofuel cells is presented: Cellobiose dehydrogenase (CDH) from the ascomycete Myriococcum thermophilum (MtCDH) catalyzes the electrochemical oxidation of glucose, lactose, and cellobiose over a broad pH range. Current densities of more than 1 mA . cm(-2) can be reached when MtCDH is wired to an Os redox polymer in the pres

TASISpec (TASCA in Small Image mode Spectroscopy) combines composite Ge- and Si-detectors for a new detector setup aimed towards multi-coincidence gamma -ray, X-ray, conversion electron, fission fragment, and a-particle spectroscopy of the heaviest nuclei. It exploits the TASCA separator's unique small image focal mode, i.e. the fact that evaporation residues produced in fusion-evaporation reactio

Membrane proteins (MPs) constitute a large fraction of the proteome, but exhibit physicochemical characteristics that impose challenges for successful sample production crucial for subsequent biophysical studies. In particular, MPs have to be extracted from the membranes in a stable form. Reconstitution into detergent micelles represents the most common procedure in recovering MPs for subsequent a

The present work has been carried out with the aim to design and develop an efficient light harvesting inorganic-organic hybrid nanoscale material by employing a less toxic, environment friendly inorganic substance and also to understand the mechanism of inter-particle electronic interaction between the inorganic and organic components of the nanomaterial. Specifically, the inorganic-organic hybri

Herein we demonstrate the favorable synergistic effect of an NH4Cl additive and DMSO solvent on 2D perovskites that are synthesized at room temperature. Interestingly, we observe the spontaneous formation of 3D phases within either NH4Cl or DMSO treated 2D perovskites, which plays a pivotal role in facilitating charge transport. It is revealed that NH4Cl increases charge carrier lifetime and passi

New five-coordinate Pt(ii) complexes containing a glycosylated carbene fragment were synthesized. A member of this class shows very high in vitro cytotoxicity and an exceptional selectivity toward malignant cells. The complex lacking the sugary portion fails in the recognition of cancer cells. The results support the use of glycosylation in the design of carbene Pt-based anticancer agents.

This contribution reports a novel method for cell-supernatant separation inside nanoliter droplets with separation efficiencies for single cells of 100% at flow speeds of 2 mm/s. Cells are focused in nanoliter droplets using bulk acoustic waves before the droplet is split at a bifurcation into a supernatant- and a cell-containing droplet. The method enables upconcentration of cells, cell washing,

Borrowing hydrogen (BH) reactions are very useful for the sustainable synthesis of C−C and C−N bonds. They generally operate with transition metal-based catalysts along with stoichiometric/catalytic amounts of added base. Here we report that two catalytic transformations, generally carried out with the BH methodology, i. e. N-alkylation of amines with alcohols and β-alkylation of secondary alcohol

Development of useful all-around materials which can quickly and efficiently adsorb radionuclides in response to environmental radioactive contamination is an urgent research objective. In response to this need, our team developed a simple preparation method for stable sodium titanates which can serve as efficient agents for removal of radionuclides from water. With an emphasis on an environmental
