Fabrication of Ni-Polyaniline/Graphene Oxide Composite Electrode with High Capacitance and Water Splitting Activity.

The Ni-PANI@GO composite electrode was fabricated via cost effective electrodeposition technique. According to the XRD, FTIR, Raman, SEM, and XPS analyses revealed that the nickel doped PANI@GO composite has been fabricated on the surface of the nickel foam. Addition of nickel significantly enhanced interaction between graphene with PANI leading to higher degree of polyaniline doping though imine groups.

Photothermal Effect and Phase Transition in VO Enhanced by Plasmonic Particles.

Phase change metasurfaces based on VO, which are pre-heated with electric current and optically addressed by projected structured light hologram, are considered to become a new paradigm in programmed THz/middle IR flat optics. Macroscopic quasi-homogeneous arrays of Au nanoparticles show large near IR absorption and a significant photothermal effect capable of boosting a light-triggered switching of VO and are to be carefully examined. We propose a new approach to simultaneously probe the altered temperature and electric conductivity of a hybrid Au particle-VO film composite by monitoring a phase shift and attenuating a surface acoustic wave in a YX128° cut LiNbO substrate.

Single cell biomass tracking allows identification and isolation of rare targeted therapy-resistant DLBCL cells within a mixed population.

Adaptive resistance is a major limitation in the use of targeted therapies for cancer. Using real time biomass tracking, we demonstrate the isolation and identification of rare (1% fraction) diffuse large B cell lymphoma cells resistant to the PI3K inhibitor idelalisib, from an otherwise sensitive population. This technique allows direct study of these rare, drug tolerant cells.

MmHn(XO4)(m + n)/2 crystals: structure, phase transitions, hydrogen bonds, conductivity. II. Structure and properties of Cs3(HSO4)2(H2PO4) and Cs4(HSO4)3(H2PO4) single crystals.

Cs3(HSO4)2(H2PO4) and Cs4(HSO4)3(H2PO4) single crystals were obtained for the first time based on a systematic study of the phase diagram of the CsHSO4-CsH2PO4-H2O ternary system. To reveal the structural conditionality for anomalies in physical properties, including dielectric and optical properties, diffraction studies of the crystal structure of Cs3(HSO4)2(H2PO4) and Cs4(HSO4)3(H2PO4) were performed, and their common structural features and differences were analyzed.

High pressure x-ray diffraction study of nickel-copper chromites solid solutions.

A high-pressure synchrotron radiation diffraction study has been carried out on Ni(1-x)Cu(x)Cr(2)O(4) solid solutions. Observed pressure-controlled phase transitions, along with data previously collected for temperature-induced phase transitions, are analyzed in the framework of the unified phenomenological model that results in mapping of the generic phase diagram for the whole family of Ni(1-x)Cu(x)Cr(2)O(4) solid solutions.
