Lately, microalgae use in cultural heritage conservation and protection has gained interest for their ability to meet the sector’s innovation and sustainability demands, benefiting both the environment and practitioners. An...
High-quality total scattering data, a key tool for understanding atomic-scale structure in disordered materials, require stable instrumentation and access to high momentum transfers. This is now routine at dedicated synchrotron...
Mitochondrial dysfunction has been implicated in a broad range of age-related pathologies and has been proposed as a causative factor in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Analysis of post-mortem brains from AD...
Metasurfaces are engineered materials with unique physical properties not found in conventional materials. These characteristics transform the interaction between light and matter, allowing for the manipulation of electromagnetic waves in...
The immune response induced by gluten is the result of molecular mechanisms involving gliadin peptides, DQ2 or DQ8 glycoproteins, and the interaction with T lymphocyte receptors. DQ8-glia-α1 is an immunodominant...
In this paper, polyether ether ketone (PEEK) composites reinforced with CFs (20%; 30%, 40% by weight) have been manufactured and fully investigated by means of structural, morphological, and functional analytical...
Achieving a quick temperature increase is a burning issue for biophysical applications, like germ inactivation and tumor ablation, and for energy performances, like solar collectors and steam generators. Based on...
An original but simple instrument is developed, capable of performing simultaneous Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS), Absorbance (ABS), and Photoluminescence (PL) measurements on suspensions of colloidal nanoparticles. The instrument is designed...
Purpose: In this study, we investigated the physicochemical properties, biofunctionalization and internalization mechanisms of peptide-functionalized gold nanoparticles (GNPs), with a particular focus on a cyclic avβ3 integrin-targeting ligand (cRGD), embedded...
The iron-based KxFe2-ySe2 superconductor displays chemical, structural and electronic phase separation at nanoscale to microscale, leading to the coexisting metallic phase embedded in an antiferromagnetic host matrix. The metallic character...
