The possibility to deposit purely organic and hybrid inorganic-organic materials in a way parallel to the state-of-the-art gas-phase deposition method of inorganic thin films, i.e., atomic layer deposition (ALD), is currently experiencing a strongly growing interest. Like ALD in case of the inorganics, the emerging molecular layer deposition (MLD) technique for organic constituents can be emplo...

In the present study, twenty-five male goat kids (20±2.5 kg BW) were used during an 84- day experimental period to determine the effect of source and level of sulfur supplementation on mohair characteristics and performance. Experimental diets were diets containing 0.18% (as control), 0.24% and 0.34% DM inorganic or organic sulfur. The data were analyzed as a 2 × 2 factorial design. Methionine ...

Fabrication of freestanding nanostructured aerogel monoliths with multifunctionality on a large scale represents great challenge due to the limited scalable methods for synthesis and assembly multi-component nanostructures into one single gel body. Here, we report solvothermal-based in situ gelation method synthesizing mechanically stable cobalt-based layered inorganic-organic hybrid nanobelt (...

Van der Waals dielectrics, such as hexagonal boron nitride, are widely used to preserve the intrinsic properties of two-dimensional semiconductors in electronic devices. However, fabricating these materials on wafer scale and integrating them with is challenging because their synthesis typically requires mechanical exfoliation or vapour deposition processes. Here we show that a high-κ van diele...

Microcystis aeruginosa is a single-celled cyanobacterium, forming large colonies on the surface of freshwater ecosystems during summer, and producing a toxin (microcystin) that in high concentration can be harmful to humans and animals. These toxic effects can be governed by abiotic environmental conditions including water temperature, light, nutrient abundance, and fluid motion. We investigate...
