A novel hybrid nanocomposite formed of carboxylated Nano Graphene Oxide (c-NGO), highly densely decorated by monodisperse citrate-coated Au nanoparticles (c-NGO/Au NPs), is synthesized and thoroughly characterized for photothermal applications. A...
The outspread of bacterial pathogens causing severe infections and spreading rapidly, especially among hospitalized patients, is worrying and represents a global public health issue. Current disinfection techniques are becoming insufficient...
Metasurfaces can be realized by organizing subwavelength elements (e.g., plasmonic nanoparticles) on a reflective surface covered with a dielectric layer. Such an array of resonators, acting collectively, can completely absorb...
Unlike the standard materials, metallic nanoparticles offer enhancing the heat convertion rate which implies the maximum and average temperature boost significantly in the considered system. The work's purpose is to...
Heavy pnictogen chalcohalide semiconductors are coming under the spotlight for energy conversion applications. Here we present the colloidal synthesis of phase pure AgBiSCl2 nanocrystals. This quaternary chalcohalide compound features a...
The PdI2/KI-catalyzed oxidative carbonylation of 4-(2-aminophenyl)-3-yn-1-ols, bearing two potential nucleophilic groups in suitable position selectively leads to dihydrofuroquinolinone derivatives in fair to high yields (60%-89%) and excellent turnover numbers (180-267...
The rationale of the present project is that is possible to mimic the orientation and the interactions of the key residues of a protein motif by varying the position and...
This proposal sets its foundations on a multidisciplinary research team with strong expertise in biochemistry, dermatology, microbiology, nanomaterial engineering, physical-chemistry. All the required competences are therefore present to unlock the...
Uveal Melanoma (UM) is a rare form of melanoma but the most frequent and aggressive primary ocular tumor in adults with about 50% of patients developing metastasis with fatal outcome...
Lafora disease (LD) is a progressive and fatal epilepsy with teenage-onset. It is caused by the accumulation of insoluble polyglucosans in neurons, determined by an increased glycogen production. At the...
