Excess use of chemical pesticides in agriculture assisting the accomplishment of agri-food production targets. But, indiscriminate use of chemical pesticide is the serious concern for environment and human, which deteriorating the soil health, nutritional quality of food and increasing resistance in phyto-pathogens and pests. Nanotechnology provided the sustainable solution in this regard by de...

INTRODUCTION: Our inability to record single cell activity with high resolution over a long period of time precludes fundamental understanding of nervous system functions, both under normal and pathological conditions. While the fabrication of current microand nano-electrodes has advanced our capabilities to perform long-term recordings, this has been at the expense of signal resolution due to ...

Due to the increasing growth of processing cores in complex computational systems, all the connection converted bottleneck for all systems. With the protection of progressing and constructing complex photonic connection on chip, optical data transmission is the best choice for replacing with electrical interconnection for the reason of gathering connection with a high bandwidth and insertion lo...

An effort was made to improve the separation issue of styrene-butadiene-styrene modifiers in styrene-butadiene-styrene-modified asphalt binders and further enhance their performance by adding nano-ZnO binder prepare compound modified binder. First, optimum dosage determined based on conventional tests, i.e., penetration, ring ball softening point, ductility at a fixed dosage; then, dynamic shea...

Tailoring materials to obtain unique, or significantly enhanced material properties through rationally designed structures rather than chemical constituents is principle of metamaterial concept, which leads to the realization of remarkable optical and mechanical properties. Inspired by the recent progress in electromagnetic and mechanical metamaterials, here we introduce the concept of ferroele...

As socie ty becomes more comfortable discussing genetics and its related ethics, a new technology is blossoming in the background. Nanotechnology may speak the same societal language as does genetics, in that both technological movements involve tiny science and large imagination. In a way, it is natural—and almost inevitable—that the genetic revolution and the nanotechnology revolution be comp...

In this work, we present new results about the non-enzymatic detection of lindane by using CuO-MnO2 hierarchical nano-microstructures. The linear range for the determination of lindane is up to 700 μM with a limit of detection of 4.8 nM, which is much lower than for other non-enzymatic lindane sensors.

Density functional theory calculations (DFT), as well as hybrid methods (B3LYP) for Bi8N18-[CoF6]3- complexhave been carried out to study the non-bonded interaction. The geometry of the 1313N18 has been optimized atB3LYP method with EPR-II basis set and geometry of the [CoF6]3 have been optimized at B3LYP method withDe12-TZVP basis set and Stuttgart RSC 1997 Effective Core Potential. The electr...
