Current advances in nanodrug delivery systems for malaria prevention and treatmentDISCOVER NANO - Tập 18 - Trang 1-31 - 2023
Linda N. Kekani, Bwalya A. Witika
Malaria is a life-threatening, blood-borne disease with over two hundred million
cases throughout the world and is more prevalent in Sub-Saharan Africa than
anywhere else in the world. Over the years, several treatment agents have been
developed for malaria; however, most of these active pharmaceutical ingredients
exhibit poor aqueous solubility and low bioavailability and may result in
drug-resis... hiện toàn bộ
Nano-indentation study of dislocation evolution in GaN-based laser diodesDISCOVER NANO -
Jingjing Chen, Xujun Su, Guobing Wang, Mu Niu, Xinran Li, Ke Xu
AbstractThe slip systems and motion behavior of dislocations induced by
nano-indentation technique in GaN-based LDs were investigated. Dislocations with
burgers vector of b = 1/3 <11$$\overline{2}$$ 2 ¯ 3> were introduced on either
{11$$\overline{2}$$ 2 ¯ 2} <11$$\overline{2}$$ 2 ¯ 3>, or {1$$\overline{1}$$ 1 ¯
01} <11$$\overline{2}$$ 2 ¯ 3> pyramidal slip systems in the upper p-GaN layer.

Transition metal-based nanoparticles as potential antimicrobial agents: recent advancements, mechanistic, challenges, and future prospectsDISCOVER NANO - Tập 18 - Trang 1-20 - 2023
Sonali Gautam, Dipak Kumar Das, Jasvinder Kaur, Anuj Kumar, Mohd Ubaidullah, Mudassir Hasan, Krishna Kumar Yadav, Ram K. Gupta
Bacterial transmission is considered one of the potential risks for communicable
diseases, requiring promising antibiotics. Traditional drugs possess a limited
spectrum of effectiveness, and their frequent administration reduces
effectiveness and develops resistivity. In such a situation, we are left with
the option of developing novel antibiotics with higher efficiency. In this
regard, nanopartic... hiện toàn bộ
Zn‐doped MnOx nanowires displaying plentiful crystalline defects and tunable small cross-sections for an optimized volcano-type performance towards supercapacitorsDISCOVER NANO - Tập 18 - Trang 1-16 - 2023

Fonsaca, Sergio H. Domingues, Clenilton C. dos Santos, André H. B. Dourado, Auro A. Tanaka, Anderson G. M. da Silva, Marco A. S. Garcia
MnOx-based nanomaterials are promising large-scale electrochemical energy
storage devices due to their high specific capacity, low toxicity, and low cost.
However, their slow diffusion kinetics is still challenging, restricting
practical applications. Here, a one-pot and straightforward method was reported
to produce Zn-doped MnOx nanowires with abundant defects and tunable small
cross-sections, e... hiện toàn bộ
Preparation, characterization, and magnetic resonance imaging of Fe nanowiresDISCOVER NANO - Tập 18 Số 1
Xiaoming Cao, S. Hu, Hua Zheng, Aiman Mukhtar, Kaiming Wu, Liyuan Gu
AbstractA facile template method was employed to synthesize Fe nanowires of
different sizes, dimensions. Comprehensive analyses were conducted to explore
their morphology, structure, composition, and magnetic properties. The surface
of as-prepared Fe nanowires was modified with SiO2 by sol–gel method to improve
the dispersion of as-prepared Fe nanowires in aqueous solution. Furthermore, the
relaxa... hiện toàn bộ
Core atoms escape from the shell: reverse segregation of Pb–Al core–shell nanoclusters via nanoscale meltingDISCOVER NANO - Tập 18 Số 1
Wenkai Wu, Theodoros Pavloudis, Richard E. Palmer
AbstractMelting is a phase transition that profoundly affects the fabrication
and diverse applications of metal nanoclusters. Core–shell clusters offer
distinctive properties and thus opportunities compared with other classes of
nano-alloys. Molecular dynamics simulations have been employed to investigate
the melting behaviour of Pb–Al core–shell clusters containing a fixed Pb147 core
and varying ... hiện toàn bộ
ROS-generating nanoplatforms as selective and tunable therapeutic weapons against cancerDISCOVER NANO - Tập 18 Số 1
Federica Foglietta, Loredana Serpe, Roberto Canaparo
AbstractReactive species refers to a group of chemicals, mainly reactive oxygen
species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS), that are naturally formed by
cells as a byproduct of cell metabolism and regulated by various internal and
external factors. Due to their highly chemical reactivity, ROS play a crucial
role in physiological and pathological processes which is why studies on ROS

Electronic structure of superconducting VN(111) filmsDISCOVER NANO - Tập 19 Số 1
Ruicong Zhai, Jiachang Bi, Sining Zheng, Wei Chen, Yuan Lin, Shaozhu Xiao, Yanwei Cao
AbstractVanadium nitride (VN) is a transition-metal nitride with remarkable
properties that have prompted extensive experimental and theoretical
investigations in recent years. However, there is a current paucity of
experimental research investigating the temperature-dependent electronic
structure of single-crystalline VN. In this study, high-quality VN(111) films
were successfully synthesized on ... hiện toàn bộ
