In recent years, the application of nanotechnology for the development of new "smart fertilizers" is regarded as one of the most promising solutions for boosting a more sustainable and modern...
The development of a prototype apparatus to perform patterned Chemical Vapour Deposition (CVD) on planar substrates is presented. The system consists of a fixed head which produces and drives a...
BACKGROUND: The use of nanomaterials for the efficient delivery of active species in viticulture is still an unexplored opportunity. Nitrogen, an essential nutrient for grapevine development and wine quality, is...
Atomic-and nanometer-scale features of nanomaterials have a strong influence on their chemical and physical properties and a detailed description of these elements is a crucial step in their characterization. Total...
Colloidal nanocrystals (NCs) of fully inorganic lead halide perovskites (LHPs) are the latest generation of quantum-dot materials with compelling optical characteristics. Favored by the nearly regular cubic shape of NCs,...
Organic thin films based on naphthalenediimides (NDIs) bearing alkyl substituents have shown interesting properties for application in OLEDs, thermoelectrics, solar cells, sensors and organic electronics. However, the polymorphic versatility attributed...
Hybrid one-dimensional lead halides, containing the protonated 1,8-bis(dimethylamino)naphthalene moiety (C14H19N2, monoprotonated "proton sponge"), were prepared by simple one-pot methods and investigated in terms of crystal structure, morphology, thermal stability and...
In this paper, we present a deep learning algorithm for automated design of druglike analogues (DeLA-Drug), a recurrent neural network (RNN) model composed of two long short-term memory (LSTM) layers...
Zinc oxide (ZnO) is a largely investigated semiconducting nanomaterial for photocatalytic applications and is an excellent active layer candidate in photovoltaics. Among native defects, having a primary role in ZnO...
In materials and earth science, but also in chemistry, pharmaceutics and engineering, the quantification of elements and crystal phases in solid samples is often essential for a full characterization of...
