The Rôle of infiltration in the hydrologic cycle

For some years the author has used the term “infiltration” to describe the process involved where water soaks into or is absorbed by the soil. Absorption, imbibition, and percol...

Controlling anisotropic nanoparticle growth through plasmon excitation

Impact of heavy metals on the environment and human health: Novel therapeutic insights to counter the toxicity

Heavy metals are well-known environmental pollutants owing to their toxicity, longevity in the atmosphere, and ability to accumulate in the human body via bioaccumulation. The p...

Quantum‐mechanical condensed matter simulations with CRYSTAL

The latest release of the Crystal program for solid‐state quantum‐mechanical ab initio simulations is presented. The program adopts atom‐centered Gaussian‐type functions as a ba...

Viability of intertwined supply networks: extending the supply chain resilience angles towards survivability. A position paper motivated by COVID-19 outbreak

An intertwined supply network (ISN) is an entirety of interconnected supply chains (SC) which, in their integrity secure the provision of society and markets with goods and serv...

Therapeutic peptides: current applications and future directions

Peptide drug development has made great progress in the last decade thanks to new production, modification, and analytic technologies. Peptides have been produced and modified u...

Aqueous rechargeable zinc/sodium vanadate batteries with enhanced performance from simultaneous insertion of dual carriers

Rechargeable aqueous zinc-ion batteries are promising energy storage devices due to their high safety and low cost. However, they remain in their infancy because of the limited ...

Plasmon Hybridization in Nanoparticle Dimers

We apply the recently developed plasmon hybridization method to nanoparticle dimers, providing a simple and intuitive description of how the energy and excitation cross sections...

Pseudocapacitance: From Fundamental Understanding to High Power Energy Storage Materials

There is an urgent global need for electrochemical energy storage that includes materials that can provide simultaneous high power and high energy density. One strategy to achie...

Quantitative phase imaging in biomedicine

Electrochemical lithiation of tin and tin-based intermetallics and composites

MoS₂ and WS₂ Analogues of Graphene

Inorganic sheets: Graphene-like MoS2 and WS2 were prepared by three different chemical methods. Examination by microscopic techniques revealed that they consist of one or a few ...
