In this study, spectroscopic properties of the single-walled boron-nitride nanotube (SWBNNT) –a semiconductor channel in molecular diodes and molecular transistors–have been investigated under field-free and various applied electric fields by first principle methods.Our analysis shows that increasing the electric field in boron-nitride nanotube (BNNT) decreases the Highest Occupied Crystal Orbi...

A field experiment was conducted during the winter (rabi) season of 2021–22 at Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi, to investigate effect nano-urea and herbicides on yield yield-attributing characters wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). The tested in a split-plot design with 4-nano-urea based treatments, viz. control (no nitrogen), recommended dose nitrogen (RDN) 120 kg N/ha, 50% RDN + ...

The current study presents synthesis and characterization of high impact polystyrene - TiO2 nanoparticles mixed matrix membranes for separation of carbon dioxide from nitrogen. The solution-casting method was used for preparation of membranes. The nano mixed matrix membranes were characterized using scanning electron microscopy to ensure the suitable dispersion of nano particles in high impact ...

nowadays, the use of innovative nano-technology in the food industry quality control has significantly increased and it is widely employed in numerous fields such as diagnosis of microbial toxin of foods using nano-biosensors, increasing food shelf-life with the help of nano-clay and nano-silver packaging, as well as changing some of the unpleasant organoleptic properties such as taste, color, ...

The utilization of nano-sized nitrogen (N) and zinc (Zn) fertilizers through foliar application has gained considerable attention in agricultural research. This study focuses on investigating the effects such applications soil properties, including both chemical biological aspects, after harvest mustard (Brassica juncea L.). field experiment was carried out during October to March 2022 season a...

Olympiadane nanomolecules are a mechanically-interlocked molecule composed of five interlocking macrocycles that resembles the olympic rings. The nanomolecule is a linear pentacatenane or a catenane [1,2]. It was synthesized and named by Fraser Stoddart and co-workers in 1994 [1,2]. The molecule was designed without any practical use in mind, although other catenanes may have possible applicati...

Nano fillers are part of new studies to enhance various properties of fluids and solids. For example, adding nanoparticles as an enforcement in nanocomposites or as an additive to improve thermal or electrical properties in nano-fluids are of extreme importance in science and industry. There are numerous methods to uniformly disperse nanoparticles in fluid and solid phase. One of the well-used ...

In this study, a ZnO@Ag2O@Fe3O4 nanocomposite as an innovative magnetic solid phase extraction agent was introduced. The structural and morphological properties of the as-prepared nano-sorbent were characterized using X-ray diffraction analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy and nitrogen adsorption–desorption techniques. The synthesized mag...

The health effects of nanoparticles (NPs) are raising considerable and growing concerns from the public and government around the world. Nano-metals are new forms of metal with special properties, but are characterized by having a particle size of less than 100 nm. Copper is an essential trace element and its deficiency leads to different diseases in humans. In gen...
