Arrays of aligned multi-walled carbon nanotube-ionic liquid (MIL) were assembled on silicon wafers (Si-MIL). Formation of Si-MIL was confirmed by FTIR, AFM and Raman techniques. The electrochemical measurements indicated that Si-MIL showed good electrocatalysis towards oxygen reduction compared with MIL drop-cast on a glassy carbon electrode.

CuGaS(2) nanorods were synthesized by irradiating the precursor solution with intense X-rays. The products are single crystal nanorods with preferential [220] growth and a uniform size distribution. We also report on the photoresponse of drop-cast films of these nanorods.

Decision-making is a crucial aspect of emergency response during mass casualty incidents (MCIs). MCIs require rapid decisions to be taken by geographically-dispersed teams in an environment characterized by insufficient information, ineffective collaboration and inadequate resources. Despite the increasing adoption of decision support systems in healthcare, there is limited evidence of their va...

We quantify the innate electro-oxidation behavior of a single Ti3C2Tx MXene particle by Single-Entity Electrochemistry. undergoes irreversible oxidation at potentials greater than 0.3 V (vs. SCE), with extent dependant on applied potential. A close correlation is seen ensembles drop-cast particles submonolayer coverage.

muslims all over the world fast in the holy month of ramadan. fasting means abstinence from drinking any liquids, eating, smoking and taking anything parenterally.  it is intermittent in nature from the start of dawn to end at dusk. fasting has various physiological effects on different biological parameters of the human body. previous studies that look at effect of ramadan fasting on blood pre...

Surface-initiated polymerization has been used to grow thick, uniform poly(methyl methacrylate) films on nanocantilever sensors. Cantilevers with these coatings yielded significantly greater sensitivity relative to bare devices as well as relative to devices that had been coated with drop-cast polymer films. The devices with surface-initiated polymer films also demonstrated high selectivity tow...
