Molecularly-specific contrast can greatly enhance the biomedical utility of optical coherence tomography (OCT). We describe a contrast mechanism, magnetomotive OCT (MMOCT), where a modulated magnetic field induces motion of magnetic nanoparticles. The motion of the nanoparticles modifies the amplitude of the OCT interferogram. High specificity is achieved by subtracting the background fluctuati...

While many properties of the magnetic compass of migratory birds are satisfactory explained within the chemical model of magnetoreception, its extreme sensitivity to radio-frequency magnetic fields remains a mystery. Apparently, this difficulty could be overcome if the magnetoreceptor model were augmented with a magnetite nanoparticle, which would amplify the magnetic field at the position of t...

Abstract In recent years, the application of nanoadditives in biofuels is gaining much attention due to their increase thermophysical properties such as high surface area, thermal conductivity, and mass diffusivity. However, lack stability, additive cost, difficult recovery from engine exhaust are high-priority demanding characteristics, which may be chosen by many researchers. this regard, mos...

Colorectal cancer has been one of the most common cancers in the worldwide. Poor patient compliance and serious side effects often associated with conventional therapy (e.g. surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy). Gene therapy may be an alternative strategy. Herein, we developed a dual-targeting nanoparticle with excellent gene transfection efficiency for gene therapy of peritoneal metastasis of...

A unique Pd nanoparticle loaded hierarchically porous graphene network was successfully prepared through multiple synergistic interactions. The obtained architectures as electrocatalysts exhibit significantly higher activity and durability for ethanol oxidation than commercial Pd/C catalysts.

This paper provides an overview of how the surface properties of ferromagnetic nanoparticles dispersed in fluids is modified by natural and biocompatible polymers. Among common magnetic nanoparticles, magnetite (Fe3O4) and maghemite (g-Fe203) are popular candidates because of their biocompatibility. Natural polymeric coating materials are the most commonly used biocompatible magnetic nanopartic...

Chemically disordered B3–7-nm-diameter FePt nanoparticles are synthesized using the airless operation technique based on decomposition of iron pentacarbonyl and reduction of platinum acetylacetonate. The particle solution is then washed and subsequently deposited onto a thermally oxidized Si substrate. Nanoparticle assemblies are formed after solvent evaporation. The samples are heat-treated us...
