nicu alloy nanowires arrays were embedded into the anodic aluminum oxide (aao) template by ac-pulse electrodeposition. different off-time were used in electrolyte with constant concentration of ni and cu and acidity of 3. the effect of deposition parameters on alloy contents was investigated by studying the microstructure and magnetic properties of as-deposited nicu alloy nanowires. atomic forc...

A straightforward approach for the extraction of the quercetin was carried out by a nanoporous molecularly imprinted acrylic acid-based network copolymer as asolid sorbent. This technique involves a molecular template (quercetin) which is surrounded by functional monomers and are subsequently co-polymerized in the presence of an excess of the cross linkers. In this process, three-dimensional bi...

Imprinted nanoparticles present several advantages respect to bulk imprinted materials, but, when prepared by traditional methods, their usefulness is limited as the approaches are costly or require complex optimization steps, while purification from template molecules challenging. An innovative approach solid-phase synthesis. It consists in covalent immobilization of onto a solid support, poly...

Strand misalignments at DNA repeats during replication are implicated in mutational hotspots. To study these events, we have generated strains carrying mutations in the Escherichia coli chromosomal lacZ gene that revert via deletion of a short duplicated sequence or by template switching within imperfect inverted repeat (quasipalindrome, QP) sequences. Using these strains, we demonstrate that m...

Understanding and controlling synthesis processes are key scientific challenges which are needed to achieve significant advances in the field of nanomaterials. Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) have unusual physical-chemical properties that make them promising materials for a large number of innovative applications in electronics, biomedicine, micro and nano separations among others. Thei...

Oxide nanoparticles can exhibit unique physical and chemical properties due to their limited size and a high density of corner or edge surface sites. In this study, MgO nanoparticle was synthesized using Mg(CH3COO)2 and hexamethylenetetramine as starting materials. The structure and optical properties of these particles are investigated by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), sc...
