Two-dimensional (2D) materials hold great promise for the next-generation optoelectronics applications, many of which, including solar cell, rely on the efficient dissociation of exciton into free charge carriers. However, photoexcitation in atomically thin 2D semiconductors typically produces exciton with a binding energy of ~500 meV, an order of magnitude larger than thermal energy at room temperature. This inefficient exciton dissociation can limit the efficiency of photovoltaics.

We tested whether pre-operative motor subtyping using the modified Tremor/PIGD ratio, could indicate the short-term motor, non-motor and quality of life (QOL) outcomes of STN-DBS.
Method: In this prospective study, 39 consecutive STN-DBS cases were assessed in Drug-OFF state before surgery and subtyped using the ratio of tremor and PIGD scores (T/P ratio).
Background: Oculomotor impairment is an important diagnostic feature of Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) and PSP subtypes.
Objectives: We assessed the role of video oculography (VOG) in confirming clinically suspected slow saccades in PSP and differentiating PSP from Parkinson's disease (PD). We also measured the correlation of both saccadic velocity and latency in PSP with scores in PSP rating scale, Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) and Frontal assessment battery (FAB).
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how nanoplastics (NPs) derived from single-use plastic bottles contribute to antibiotic resistance (AR) by facilitating gene transfer between bacteria through mechanisms like outer membrane vesicles (OMVs).
- It synthesizes PET bottle-derived nanoplastics (PBNPs) that mimic environmental conditions and examines their interactions with microorganisms, revealing their potential to transport plasmids and cause oxidative stress in bacteria.
- The findings indicate that PBNPs may significantly influence the dissemination of AR genes, highlighting their role in the growing global antibiotic resistance crisis and their impact on various microorganisms, including those found in the human digestive system.
