Dichroism of coupled multipolar plasmonic modes in twisted triskelion stacks
We present a systematic investigation of the optical response to circularly polarized illumination in twisted stacked plasmonic nanostructures. The system consists in two identical, parallel gold triskelia, centrally aligned ...
Malaria quantitative POC testing using magnetic particles, a paper microfluidic device and a hand-held fluorescence reader
A point-of-care (POC) device is reported for highly sensitive and selective detection of Plasmodium falciparum lactate dehydrogenase (Pf-LDH), a biomarker of malaria infection, based on a single-step magneto-immunoassay, ...
Folate-Receptor-Targeted Gold Nanoparticles Bearing a DNA-Binding Anthraquinone
In recent years, anthraquinones have been widening their therapeutic opportunities given their numerous health benefits. The search for adequate delivery platforms to improve their pharmacokinetics leads us to propose ...
Reading QR Codes on challenging surfaces using thin-plate splines
In real world uses, QR Codes are printed or overlaid on top of complex surfaces, like cylindrical bottles or other daily objects with random topographies that pose big challenges to their readout with the conventional ...
Method for reducing specular reflections in Mueller matrix imaging
Mueller matrix polarimetry has emerged as a powerful tool for non-destructiveoptical analysis of biological tissues and bioorganic materials, offering detailed insights intopolarization-specific properties such as ...
Time-resolved solvation of alkali ions in superfluid helium nanodroplets: Theoretical simulationof a pump–probe study
The solvation process of an alkali ion (Na+, K+, Rb+, and Cs+) inside a superfluid 4He2000 nanodroplet is investigated theoretically using liquid 4He time-dependent density functional theory at zero temperature. We simulate ...
Confronting positions: para- vs. meta-functionalization in triindole for p-type air-stable OTFTs
The 5,10,15-trihexyl-10,15-dihydro-5H-diindolo[3,2-a:3′,2′-c]carbazole core, namely triindole, is well-known for its prominent hole-transporting properties and air stability. The functionalization of this core is also ...
C60 fullerene as an on-demand single photon source at room temperature
Single photon sources are fundamental for applications in quantum computing, secure communication, and sensing, as they enable the generation of individual photons and ensure strict control over photon number statistics. ...
Clustering, collision, and relaxation dynamics in pure and doped helium nanoclusters: Density- vs particle-based approaches
The clustering, collision, and relaxation dynamics of pristine and doped helium nanodroplets is theoretically investigated in cases of pickup and clustering of heliophilic argon, collision of heliophobic cesium atoms, and ...
Exudative versus nonexudative age-related macular d generation: physiopathology and treatment options
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is an eye disease typically associated with the aging and can be classified into two types—namely, the exudative and the nonexudative AMD. Currently available treatments for exudative ...
Activity Report 2020
The Scientific Activity Report of the IN2UB of the year 2020 is with no doubts a very special one for the history of the Institute. It summarizes the engagement of the organization during the year of the irruption of ...
Ti-containing hybrid organosilicas, Mo(x)C/g-C(3)N(4) nanocomposites and engineered Mo(x)C/TiO(2) nanomaterials as noble-metal-free photocatalysts for H(2) production
[eng] The photocatalytic hydrogen production is considered an environmentally promising and friendly method, which could lead to achieve clean and renewable hydrogen and contribute in the future to store solar energy as ...
