or non luminescent [ 2 ] nano-objects and can allow single particle tracking (SPT) the motion of biomolecules both for in vivo and in vitro applications. Ideally, optical probes should be bright, stable in physiological and cellular environments, have large photostability with low toxicity and good biocompatibility (i.e., do not disturb or destroy healthy cells). Small aromatic organic fl uorop...

Fluorescence spectroscopy is entrenched throughout the life sciences today and is used for a variety of applications, including the detection of chemical or biological analytes/species, in reporting molecular events or for the understanding of microenvironments, such as local viscosity, polarity and voltage measurements, to name but just a few. In the majority of these fluorescencebased measure...

Capraria biflora L. is a shrub from the Scrophulariaceae family which produces in its roots a compound named biflorin, an o-naphthoquinone that shows activity against Gram-positive bacteria and fungi and also presents antitumor and antimetastatic activities. However, biflorin is hydrophobic and photosensitive. These properties make its application difficult. In this work we prepared biflorin mi...

Here, we demonstrated the electrospinning of polymer-free nanofibrous webs from inclusion complex (IC) between hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HPβCD) and Vitamin E (Vitamin E/HPβCD-IC NF). The inclusion complexation between HPβCD and Vitamin E was prepared by using two different molar ratios (Vitamin E/HPβCD; 1:2 and 1:1), which correspond to theoretical value of ∼13% (w/w) and 26% (w/w) loading ...

Nitrogen-doped g-C 3 N 4 /CoS nanocomposites have been synthesized using a facile polycondensation-hydrothermal method and showed improved photocatalytic activity for the degradation of MB dye industrial real samples with good photostability.

To make the jump from laboratories to commercial production for perovskite solar cells, it is necessary develop devices in an ambient environment using materials and methods that can be scalable. Here, blade coating followed by vacuum quenching used manufacture FACs-based cells with additive of MACl under (30%–57% RH), where FA formamidinium MA methylammonium. The allows quick removal solvent i...
