The continous flow reactor can synthesize MOF-808—an industrially relevant MOF—in 5 minutes compared to 48 hours in Batch, while maintaining crystallinity and porosity of the final product.

Twenty two children (age range 4 months-20 years) with pulmonary valve stenosis and ten children (age range 1 month-11 years) with coarctation of the aorta underwent balloon dilatation in the 29 month period between October 1983 and February 1986. Number 5-9 French catheters with 5-20 mm balloons were used according to the size of the angiographically measured pulmonary valve annulus or coarcte...

Abstract The additive manufacturing process selective laser melting (SLM) uses a powder bed fusion approach to fully melt layers of powdered metal and create 3D components. Current SLM systems are equipped with either single or multiple (up four) high-power galvo-scanning infrared fibre sources operating at fixed wavelength 1064 nm. At this wavelength, limited energy absorption takes place for ...

The development of a portable and easy-to-use device for the detection of explosives with high sensitivity and selectivity is in high demand for homeland security and public safety. In this study, we demonstrate miniaturized devices depending on the upconversion ratiometric luminescent probe for point-of-care (POC) assay of explosives with the naked-eye. When the PEI-coated upconversion nanopar...

In vivo biological application of upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) prefers excitation of 700-850 nm, instead of 980 nm, due to the absorption of water. Recently approach in constructing robust Nd doped UCNPs subject to 808 nm excitation relies on a thick Nd sensitized shell. However, for the very 10 important and popular Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based applications, such as pho...
